NIGHTINGALE ANATOMY EXAM SCRIPT 2025/2026
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
✔✔Astrocytes attached to the: - ✔✔Neurons and blood vessels
✔✔The nervous system can be divided: - ✔✔According to its structure, according to the
direction of information flow, and by control of the effectors
✔✔Along a neuron, the correct pathway for impulse conduction is: - ✔✔dendrite, cell
body, axon
✔✔A neuron that has the only one axon but several dendrites is classified as
a___neuron. - ✔✔Multipolar
✔✔There are___ventricles in the brain. - ✔✔Four
✔✔Some parasympathetic post ganglionic neurons have their cell bodies in nuclei in
the brain stem. - ✔✔False
✔✔Conduction to the autonomic effectors requires only one efferent neuron. - ✔✔False
✔✔If you were to damage some of the preganglonic fibers that enter the celiac
ganglion, what effect would this have on the sympathetic stimulation? - ✔✔Hormones
secreted by the adrenal medulla may not reach the variation the various sympathetic
factors, that's delaying the effects of sympathetic stimulation.
✔✔The peripheral nervous system includes: - ✔✔cranial nerves, spinal nerves, and
their branches
✔✔Also bodies of the autonomic nervous system are located in the CNS. - ✔✔False
✔✔The brainstem does not include the: - ✔✔cerebellum
✔✔The pyramids are formed in the: - ✔✔medulla
✔✔Impulses from which system play a part in arousing or alerting the cerebellum? -
✔✔Reticular activating system
✔✔The autonomic nervous system includes only efferent neurons. - ✔✔False
✔✔Transparent structure of the eye containing regularly aligned collagen fibers. -
✔✔cornea
, ✔✔Class of hormones secreted during chronic stress that depressed immune function: -
✔✔Glucocorticoids
✔✔Describe the spinal organ of Corti? - ✔✔The hairs of the receptor cells are
embedded in the tectorial membrane, high frequency sound stimulate hair cells at the
basal end of the basilar membrane, the spinal organ is part of the cochlear duct which
equals the scala media.
✔✔Gustatory cells are located in - ✔✔On the posterior wall of the ferrets, on the
fungiform papillae of the anterior tongue and on the inner surface of the cheeks
✔✔Transparent mucous membrane covering the inner surface of the eyelid. -
✔✔conjunctiva
✔✔The basilar membrane supports the - ✔✔spiral organ
✔✔Receptors for hearing are located in the - ✔✔cochlear duct
✔✔Melanin-containing layer of the eye's vascular tunic. - ✔✔choroid
✔✔Region of the hypophysis that contains secretory endocrine cells derived from the
oral ectoderm - ✔✔adenohypophysis
✔✔Which of the following has the highest concentration of cones? - ✔✔The fovea
centralis
✔✔Factors that affect the strength of myocardial contraction's are - ✔✔Inotropic factors
✔✔The normal cardiac impulse that he states the mechanical contraction of the heart
arises in the - ✔✔SA node
✔✔After blood leaves the lungs and returns to the heart it enters the - ✔✔Left atrium
✔✔Blood from the brachiocephalic vein drain into - ✔✔Head, neck, and upper extremity
✔✔Which division of the autonomic nervous system sends fibers to the heart? -
✔✔Sympathetic and parasympathetic
✔✔From which vessel do myocardial cells receive blood? - ✔✔Coronary arteries
✔✔Neutrophils are Highly mobile and phagocytic. They migrate out of blood vessels
and into tissue spaces. This process is called - ✔✔diapedesis
