Q1: Fill-in-the-Blanks: The ____ are the receiving end of a neuron, while the ____
conducts nerve impulses away from the cell body.
A: dendrites ; axons
Q2: List the phases of an action potential in order.
A: 1. Resting Potential
2. Depolarization
3. Repolarization
4. Afterpolarization
Q3: T/F. If false, explain why. "The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord"
A: True
Q4: Match the following:
Cerebrospinal fluid: Cushions the brain and spinal cord by providing buoyancy, allowing
the brain to float
Meninges: connective tissue membranes that protect central nervous system organs
Ventricles: cavities within the brain
Blood Brain Barrier: prevents most particles from entering central nervous system
tissue
Q5: fill on the blanks: ____ matter is composed of a mixture of cell bodies of neurons.
____ matter is composed of myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers.
A: gray ; white
Q6: Describe the function of the parasympathetic nervous system.
A: The parasympathetic system is also sometimes called the housekeeper system
because it promotes all the internal responses associated with a relaxed state.
Parasympathetic stimulation causes the pupil of the eye to constrict and helps the
lenses of the eye to focus on nearby objects. It promotes digestion through stimulation
of smooth muscles and secretion of digestive glands to assist digestion. The
parasympathetic system also acts to slow the heart rate.

Q7: which of the following visual conditions is caused by damage the abducens nerve?
A: Diplopia
Q8: a patient comes to the doctors office complaining of some hearing loss. The doctor
finds that the patient has significant cerumen buildup. Would this be an example of
conduction, deafness or nerve deafness? Explain your answer.
A: the patient is suffering from conduction toughness. Conduction deafness occurs from
damage to the outer or middle ear structure. A buildup of cerumen can partially block
sound waves entering the external acoustic meatus.
Q9: which cells serve a stem cells in the gustatory system that divide and differentiate
into new supporting cells that then can form new gustatory cells?
A: basal cells
Q10: fill in the blanks: the two upper receiving chambers of the heart are called the
_____ while the two lower pumping chambers are called the ____.
A: atria; ventricles
Q11: which festivals are constricted and dilated by muscles, controlled by the
sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.
A: arterioles
Q12: true or false: if false explain by the statement is false: hydrostatic pressure is the
net pressure in the blood that moves fluid from the tissues into the circulatory system.
A: False. osmotic pressure is the nut pressure in the blood that moves fluid from the
tissues into the circulatory system.
Q13: which type of blood pressure results from blood being forced into the arteries
during ventricular contraction?
A: Systolic pressure.
Q14: which of the following conditions involves a backup of fluids in the body?
A: peripheral edema
