QuestionAnswer
Choose all that are the characteristics of a visceral reflex. Multiple select question. Stereotyped Conscious Unpredictable Automatic Voluntary Unconscious Stereotyped Automatic Unconscious
Which division of the ANS is associated with the "fight-or-flight" response? Which division of the ANS is associated with the "fight-or-flight" response?
Which nervous system transmits only excitatory signals to effector cells? Somatic nervous system
The division of the ANS that has relatively short preganglionic fibers and long postganglionic fibers is which division? Sympathetic
Which nervous system controls glands, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle? Autonomic
Choose all the hormones that are secreted by the adrenal medulla. Multiple select question. Epinephrine Norepinephrine Aldosterone Cortisol Epinephrine Norepinephrine
Choose all that are components of a visceral reflex arc. Multiple select question. Efferent neurons Receptor in the epidermis Receptor in the stomach Smooth muscle Afferent neurons Skeletal muscle Efferent neurons Receptor in the stomach Smooth muscle Afferent neurons
Which division of the ANS is responsible for increasing heart rate, alertness, blood pressure, pulmonary airflow, blood-glucose concentration, and blood flow to the heart and skeletal muscles? Sympathetic division
What is the alternative name for the craniosacral division of the ANS? Parasympathetic division
In autonomic pathways, nerve signals travel across how many neurons to get to the target organs? 2
The nervous system that consists entirely of neurons embedded in the wall of the digestive tract and does not originate from the brain or spinal cord is the ____________ nervous system. enteric
The nerves of the sympathetic nervous system arise from which regions of the spinal cord? Thoracic Lumbar
A cholinergic neuron secretes which neurotransmitter? Acetylcholine
Which portion of the adrenal gland secretes epinephrine, norepinephrine, and a trace of dopamine? Adrenal medulla
Which of the following receives dual innervation? Most visceral organs
components of a visceral reflex arc in order 1. receptor 2. afferent neuron 3. interneuron 4. efferent neurons 5. effector
Vasomotor tone is produced by a baseline level of stimulation by which division of the ANS? Sympathetic
Choose all the regions of the CNS that the parasympathetic division of the ANS arise from. Brain Sacral spinal cord
Choose all the functions of the enteric nervous system. To regulate motility through the digestive tract To regulate salivation To regulate the formation of gametes To regulate the secretion of digestive enzymes To regulate the respiratory rate To regulate motility through the digestive tract To regulate the secretion of digestive enzymes
Which is true of the autonomic nervous system? The central nervous system has very little control over the autonomic nervous system. It is influenced by the central nervous system. It is not influenced by the hypothalamus. It is influenced by the central nervous system.
Choose all the neurons that secrete acetylcholine. Most preganglionic parasympathetic neurons Most postganglionic parasympathetic neurons Most preganglionic sympathetic neurons Most postganglionic sympathetic neurons Most preganglionic parasympathetic neurons Most postganglionic parasympathetic neurons Most preganglionic sympathetic neurons
The type of innervation that refers to the fact that many structures in the body are innervated by nerve fibers from both the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the ANS is called ____________ innervation. dual
What does vasomotor tone do? It keeps blood vessels in a state of partial contraction.
Regarding the length of fibers, the parasympathetic nervous system has ______ preganglionic fibers and ______ postganglionic fibers. long, short
Which provides a pathway connecting sensory and emotional experiences with the autonomic nervous system? Limbic system

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
