Study Guide: Autonomic Nervous System

1

Somatic motor and autonomic pathways share all of the following except:

1

Within the sympathetic chain ganglion, the preganglionic fiber may:

1

Beta receptors bind with:

1

Which of the following is not an example of sympathetic stimulation?

1

"Fight or flight" physiologic changes include all of the following except:

1

The enteric nervous system is a specialized part of the ANS that controls visceral effectors in the gut wall.

1

Many autonomic effectors are dually innervated.

1

They sympathetic division is also called the thoracolumbar division.

1

They sympathetic division is the dominant controller of the body at rest.

1

Sympathetic responses are usually widespread, involving many organ systems at once.

1

Each efferent autonomic pathways is made up of , , and .

1

neurons conduct impulses from the brain stem or spinal cord to an autonomic ganglion.

1

Sympathetic ganglia located a short distance from the spinal cord are known as ganglia.

1

Some postganglionic axons return to a spinal nerve by way of a short branch called the gray .

1

Axon terminals of autonomic neurons release either acetylcholine or .

1

In the sympathetic division, preganglionic neurons are relatively ( short, long ) and postganglionic neurons are relatively ( long, short ).

1

Norepinephrine affects visceral effectors by first binding to ( adrenergic, cholinergic ) receptors in their plasma membranes.

1

The effect of a neurotransmitter on any postsynaptic cell is determined by the ( characteristics of the receptor, neurotransmitter ).

1

A ( nicotinic, beta ) receptor is a main type of cholinergic receptor.

1

The action of acetylcholine is ( quickly, slowly ) terminated when hydrolyzed by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase

1

Both sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions are tonically active, meaning they continually conduct impulses to autonomic effectors.

1

Sympathetic impulses inhibit effectors and parasympathetic impulses stimulate effectors.

1

Autonomic centers function in a hierarchy in their control of the ANS, with the highest ranking being the autonomic centers in the cerebral cortex.

1

The sympathetic system plays a crucial role in maintaining blood pressure.

1

They sympathetic system dominates during "rest and repair".
