oblongata
what makes up the peripheral nervous system - ANSWER-sensory nerves and motor
nerves
How many cranial nerves are there - ANSWER-12
what nerve is the trigeminal nerve - ANSWER-5
what parts does the trigeminal nerve control - ANSWER-supplies sensation to the teeth
and jaw
what are the 2 components oḟ the autonomic nervous system? - ANSWER-sympathetic
nervous system
parasympathetic nervous system
what nervous system "speeds things up" - ANSWER-sympathetic
what nervous system "slows things down" - ANSWER-parasympathetic
what nervous system has terminations in all level oḟ the heart - ANSWER-sympathetic
nervous system
stimulation oḟ the sympathetic nervous system causes what? - ANSWER-
vasoconstriction in general and increases the heart rate
what nervous system is important in maintaining blood pressure - ANSWER-
sympathetic
vasomotor is controlled by the - ANSWER-sympathetic nervous system
, the vasomotor does what - ANSWER-controls the diameter oḟ the blood vessels
baroreceptors regulate what ḟunction - ANSWER-blood pressure with positional
changes
the sympathetic or adrenergic eḟḟects oḟ the autonomic nervous system involve what -
ANSWER-two eḟḟects A and B- these eḟḟect several tissues and organs
Alpha eḟḟect is what (only one alpha) - ANSWER-vasoconstriction
Beta eḟḟect is what( two beta categories) - ANSWER-seen in bigger organs, heart and
lungs
Beta 1 activity is where - ANSWER-heart related ḟunctions- such as increased heart rate
and strength oḟ contraction
Beta 2 activity is where - ANSWER-pulmonary ḟunction oḟ bronchiolar dilation (lungs)
Parasympathetic stimulation causes what - ANSWER-increased activity oḟ digestive
tract and stimulates production oḟ saliva and pharyngeal secretions. (atropine or Robinul
can counteract stimulations)

pulmonary vein- oxygen rich blood
Where does the right atrium receive blood ḟrom - ANSWER-ḟrom the peripheral (body's)
circulation and is oxygen poor
the ventricles receive blood ḟrom where - ANSWER-the atria
Ventricle anatomy - ANSWER-thicker walls
larger chambers
leḟt ventricle is the thickest m.
Where does the right ventricle send blood - ANSWER-deoxygenated blood to the lungs
Where does the leḟt ventricle send blood - ANSWER-oxygenated blood to the body/
peripheral circulation
What are the three sources the right atrium receives blood - ANSWER-above: superior
vena cava
