BARRY BMS COMP LATEST EXAM TEST 2026/2027
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS RATED A+
✔✔what anatomical terms of location refers to the top of the line that goes through the
brainstem - ✔✔rostral
✔✔what are the divisions of the PNS - ✔✔sensory (afferent) division and motor
(efferent) division
✔✔where does the sensory division conduct impulses - ✔✔afferent, somatic and
visceral sensory nerve fibers from receptors to the CNS
✔✔where does the motor division conduct impulses - ✔✔efferent motor nerve fibers
from CNS to effectors (muscles and glands)
✔✔what are the divisions of the motor division - ✔✔autonomic NS and somatic NS
✔✔where does the autonomic NS conduct impulses - ✔✔involuntary visceral motor
nerve fibers from CNS to cardiac muscles, smooth muscles and glands
✔✔where does somatic NS conduct impulses - ✔✔voluntary somatic motor nerve fibers
from CNS to skeletal muscles
✔✔what are the divisions of the autonomic NS - ✔✔sympathetic and parasympathetic
✔✔which division of the autonomic NS mobilizes body systems during emergency
situations - ✔✔sympathetic division
✔✔which division of autonomic NS conserves energy and promotes nonemergency
functions - ✔✔parasympathetic
✔✔what part of the motor neuron releases neurotransmitters - ✔✔axonal terminal
✔✔where in the motor neuron is the impulse generating and conducting region -
✔✔axon
✔✔where i the motor neuron is the receptor - ✔✔dendrites
✔✔what direction do impulses move in the motor neuron - ✔✔dendrites--> cell body
(biosynthetic center)--> axon--> telodendria--> axonal terminal
✔✔what is the name of the synapse between dendrite and axonal terminal -
✔✔axodendritic synapse
, ✔✔what is the name of the synapse between cell body and axonal terminal -
✔✔axosomatic synapse
✔✔what is the name of the synapse between axon and axonal terminal - ✔✔axoaxonic
synapses
✔✔what are the steps in the event of a chemical synapse - ✔✔Ca2+ entering axon of
presynaptic neuron causes the synaptic vesicles containing neurotransmitter molecules
to migrate down to the axonal terminal of that neuron--> neurotransmitters are released
from the presynaptic neuron into the synaptic cleft--> neurotransmitters bind to
receptors on the postsynaptic membrane causing the ion channels on the postsynaptic
neuron to open
✔✔which nervous system cell maintains the blood-brain barrier - ✔✔astrocytes
✔✔which nervous system cell provides structural support and regulates ion, nutrient
and dissolved gas concentrations - ✔✔astrocytes

for CNS - ✔✔oligodendrocytes
✔✔what NS are astrocytes a part of - ✔✔CNS
✔✔which nervous system cell removes cell debris, waste and pathogens by
phagocytosis - ✔✔microglia
✔✔which nervous system cell lines ventricles (brain) and central canal (spinal cavity) -
✔✔ependymal cells
✔✔which nervous system cell assist in producing, circulating and monitoring the
cerebrospinal fluid - ✔✔ependymal cells
✔✔which nervous system cell surrounds neuron cell bodies in ganglia - ✔✔satellite
cells
✔✔what NS are microglia cells a part of - ✔✔CNS
✔✔what NS are ependymal cells a part of - ✔✔CNS
