True/False Questions
1) Because the ANS is a visceral motor system, afferent pathways are of no importance and
actually are rarely found.
Answer: FALSE
Diff: 2 Page Ref: 527
2) The rami communicantes are associated only with the sympathetic division of the ANS.
Answer: TRUE
Diff: 2 Page Ref: 530
3) The gray rami communicantes consist of myelinated postganglionic fibers.
Answer: FALSE
Diff: 1 Page Ref: 532
4) Splanchnic nerves are mixed motor and sensory nerves.
Answer: FALSE
Diff: 1 Page Ref: 532
5) The autonomic nervous system may cause activation or inhibition, depending on the division
that is active and the target that is affected.
Answer: TRUE
