A) myelin sheath
B) descending tracts
C) corpus callosum
D) cerebral cortex

Accepted Answer

The cerebral cortex is gray matter, while the myelin sheath, descending tracts, corpus callosum, and ascending tract are all white matter.

Question 12

Selecting the Exception Four of the five answers listed below are located within the spinal cord. Select the exception.
A) dorsal root ganglion
B) interneurons between sensory input and motor outputs
C) major ascending and descending nerve tracts
D) interneurons connecting with other neurons
E) direct reflex connections between sensory and motor neurons

Accepted Answer

The dorsal root ganglion is located outside the spinal cord, in the peripheral nervous system, whereas the other options are components or functions within the spinal cord.

Question 13

Selecting the Exception Four of the five answers listed below are used in descriptions of neuron membranes. Select the exception.
A) gate
B) pump
C) wave of depolarization
D) channel
E) synaptic cleft

Accepted Answer

The synaptic cleft is not a part of the neuron's membrane; it is the gap between neurons where neurotransmitters are released. The other terms relate to structures or processes associated with the neuron's membrane.

Question 14

Sensory signals that trigger release of saliva are an example of how the nervous system works with which other system?
A) endocrine
B) cardiovascular
C) sensory
D) digestive
E) muscular

Accepted Answer

The nervous system works with the digestive system to trigger the release of saliva in response to sensory signals, such as the sight or smell of food.
