CORRECT.
, Fill in the Blanks: The ____________ are the receiving end of a neuron, while the
____________ conducts nerve impulses away from the cell body. - ANSWERDendrites;
axon
Match the following neurotransmitters with the correct description. -
ANSWERDopamine: Regulates emotional responses and muscles tone.
Norepinephrine: Produced by the adrenal glands.
Acetylcholine: Found at the neuromuscular junctions.
True or False: If false, explain why the statement is false. The peripheral nervous
system consists of the brain and spinal cord. - ANSWERThis statement is false. The
central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous
system includes all nerves that are not located in the brain or spinal cord.
Match the following lobes of the brain with the correct function. - ANSWERTemporal:
Contains sensory areas for hearing and smelling.
Frontal: Controls higher level executive functions.
Parietal: Receives sensory information from body receptors.
Occipital: Interprets visual input.
Which of the following structures of the spinal cord contains the cell bodies of afferent
neurons? - ANSWERDorsal root ganglion
Describe the function of the sympathetic nervous system when a threat is present. -
ANSWERThe sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is often referred to as the "fight or
flight" system. When in immediate danger, muscles require a steady, increased supply
of glucose and oxygen for muscular contraction. The SNS accelerates the heartbeat,
dilates the bronchi, and increases the respiratory rate. This supplies the increased need
for oxygen throughout the body. The SNS also causes the liver to deliver more glucose
for the body's increased metabolic needs. Sympathetic activation inhibits the digestive
tract because digestion is not an immediate necessity when in danger or under attack.
True or False: if false, explain why the statement is false. Visual information from the left
side will eventually be interpreted by the left side of the brain. - ANSWERThis statement
is false. Sensory information gathered from the left side of the body will eventually be
interpreted in the right side of the brain.
