BIOD 152 Module 1
68 Questions Q1–Q68



Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 416 BIOD 152 Module 1
this is a collection of cell bodies found in the peripheral nervous system
CORRECT ANSWER

ganglia

RATIONALE
Ganglia are clusters of neuron cell bodies located outside the central nervous system,
functioning as relay points in the transmission of sensory and motor information. This
anatomical feature is crucial for the organization and processing of peripheral nervous
system signals.

, Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 416 BIOD 152 Module 1
This part of the autonomic system accelerates the heart beat and increases breathing rate.
CORRECT ANSWER

sympathetic nervous system

RATIONALE
Activation of the sympathetic nervous system triggers the release of catecholamines, such
as adrenaline, which enhance heart rate and respiratory rate to prepare the body for 'fight or
flight' responses. This mechanism underlies the autonomic regulation of physiological
responses to stress or danger.



Q3 QUESTION 3 OF 416 BIOD 152 Module 1
the dorsal root of a nerve contains what type of neurons?
CORRECT ANSWER

sensory/ afferent

RATIONALE
The dorsal root of a nerve is composed of sensory (afferent) neurons that transmit sensory
information from the periphery to the central nervous system, facilitating the body's
response to external stimuli. This anatomical organization is critical for sensory processing
and reflex actions.

, Q4 QUESTION 4 OF 416 BIOD 152 Module 1
this part of a neuron conducts nerve impulses towards the cell body
CORRECT ANSWER

dendrites

RATIONALE
Dendrites are specialized extensions of neurons that receive and conduct electrical impulses
toward the cell body, facilitating synaptic transmission and communication within the
nervous system. This structural function is crucial for integrating signals from other neurons.



Q5 QUESTION 5 OF 416 BIOD 152 Module 1
A neuron going to the bicep of the forearm is part of the:
CORRECT ANSWER

central nervous system and autonomic nervous system

RATIONALE
Motor neurons that innervate skeletal muscles, such as the biceps, originate in the central
nervous system and are categorized under the somatic nervous system, which is a
component of the peripheral nervous system. The autonomic nervous system, while primarily
responsible for involuntary control, works in conjunction with the central nervous system to
regulate muscle function.
