Exam 15: Nervous System: Autonomic Nervous System

Which is not an effector innervated by the autonomic nervous system

Which statement accurately compares the motor systems of the somatic nervous system (SNS)and autonomic nervous system (ANS)

Many different neurons can stimulate an autonomic ganglion cell simultaneously due to

With respect to divergence of axons in the sympathetic division of the ANS,one axon innervates fewer than four ganglionic cell bodies.

The prevertebral ganglion that receives axons that originate in the L1-L2 segments of the spinal cord is the _____ ganglion.

A rise in blood pressure causes a reflexive

The ________ ganglia differ from the sympathetic trunk ganglia segments in that they are single structures,rather than paired.

The __________ division of the ANS is most commonly associated with the preparation of the body for emergencies.

_______ rami communicantes carry postganglionic sympathetic axons from the sympathetic trunk to the spinal nerves.

Paravertebral and prevertebral ganglia are part of the parasympathetic branch of the ANS.

The _______ mesenteric ganglion receives preganglionic sympathetic neurons from the T10-T12 segments of the spinal cord.

Which cranial nerves are associated with the parasympathetic division of the ANS A: III B: IV C: V D: VII E: IX F: X G: XII

Sympathetic splanchnic nerves are composed of

Which system has more divergence of preganglionic axons

In the parasympathetic division,_________ ganglia are located close to the target organ.

The ANS functions independently of any influence from the CNS.

Activation of parasympathetic fibers in pelvic splanchnic nerves leads to

The superior mesenteric ganglion receives preganglionic sympathetic neurons from the _______ segments of the spinal cord.

Micturition is partly the result of autonomic stimulation of the urinary bladder.

Limited branching of preganglionic axons allows for
