DAANCE module 1 Questions with Correct Answers (Grade A+)
Question 1: CNS- Central Nervous System
Answer: composed of cerebrum,cerebellum & Medulla oblongata
Question 2: PNS-Peripheral Nervous System
Answer: Composed of Cranial Nerves (optic,olfactory,auditory,trigeminal & facial) & spinal nerves
Question 3: ANS-Autonomic nervous system
Answer: divided into sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system
Question 4: cerebrum
Answer: thought area of the brain
Question 5: cerebellum
Answer: coordinating motor area of the brain
Question 6: Medulla oblongata
Answer: coordinating region for impluses/seat of autonomic center
Question 7: cranial nerves
Answer: Optic=sight, olfactory=smell, auditory=hearing, trigeminal=teeth/jaw, facial=muscles
Question 8: spinal nerves
Answer: motor and sensory nerves that leave various tracts of the spinal cord and goes to all areas of the
body
Question 9: sympathetic nervous system
Answer: speeds things up "fight or flight" cause vasoconstriction (vasomotor= vessel movement) increases
heart rate
Question 10: Parasympathetic nervous system
Answer: decreased heart rate, blood pressure, baroreceptores. (in aortic arch, carotid sinus & ventricals
increase parasympahtetic output.)

, Question 11: myocardium
Answer: cardiac muscle
Question 12: Atria
Answer: 2 superior chambers of heart that receive blood: Rightoxygen poor,receives blood from body,
Left-oxygen rich, receives blood from lungs via pulmonary vein
Question 13: ventricals
Answer: 2 chambers of the heart that receive blood from the atria. Right-sends oxygen poor blood to lungs
Left-sends oxygen rich blood to body& peripheral circulation
Question 14: arteries
Answer: all vessels leading away from the heart (pulmonary artery= only artery with oxygen poor blood)
Coronary artery = supply oxygen nutrients to the heart)
Question 15: veins
Answer: all vessels leading to the heart
Question 16: echocardiogram
Answer: detects heart murmur or mitral valve prolapse
Question 17: angina
Answer: chest pain from ischemia (reduced 02 supply that weakens heart cells but doesn't kill them) occurs
usually during excretion (resolved by rest or nitroglycerin)
Question 18: systolic
Answer: both ventricles contracting
Question 19: diastolic
Answer: both atria contracting
Question 20: cardiac cycle
Answer: short pulse after contraction, usually 60-100 bpm
