Question 1

MATCHING
Indicate which part of the autonomic nervous system is being described by writing the appropriate letter in the blank using the following answer code.
-Has a long preganglionic fiber and a short postganglionic fiber.

Accepted Answer

This is a characteristic of the parasympathetic nervous system, which has long preganglionic fibers that extend near or into the target organ and short postganglionic fibers.

Question 2

Match chemical with correct characteristic.
-Blocks release of ACh.

Accepted Answer

Clostridium botulinum toxin, also known as botox, blocks the release of acetylcholine (ACh), a neurotransmitter involved in muscle contractions, ultimately leading to muscle paralysis.

Answer: C
 Curare also blocks the release of ACh, causing muscle paralysis. It is used as a muscle relaxant during surgeries.

Answer: E
 Organophosphates interfere with the breakdown of ACh, leading to an accumulation of the neurotransmitter and overstimulation of muscles, ultimately resulting in muscle paralysis.

Therefore, choices D, C and E are the best options as they all relate to the blocking of the release of ACh.

Question 3

Indicate the characteristics of the types of autonomic receptors using the following answer code (more than one answer may apply):
-Response to activation of this type of adrenergic receptor is generally inhibitory.

Accepted Answer

Beta 2 receptors, when activated, generally cause inhibitory responses such as relaxation of smooth muscles in the airways and blood vessels.

Question 4

MATCHING
Indicate which part of the autonomic nervous system is being described by writing the appropriate letter in the blank using the following answer code.
-Innervates skeletal muscle.

Accepted Answer

The somatic nervous system innervates skeletal muscle, while the autonomic nervous system controls involuntary functions such as heart rate and digestion. The sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic system regulate different physiological responses, but neither innervates skeletal muscle.

Question 5

Indicate the characteristics of the types of autonomic receptors using the following answer code (more than one answer may apply):
-Bind with acetylcholine released from all autonomic preganglionic fibers.

Accepted Answer

Nicotinic receptors bind with acetylcholine released from all autonomic preganglionic fibers.

Question 6

Indicate the characteristics of the types of autonomic receptors using the following answer code (more than one answer may apply):
-Have equal affinity for epinephrine and norepinephrine.

Accepted Answer

Alpha receptors have equal affinity for epinephrine and norepinephrine.

Question 7

Indicate the characteristics of the types of autonomic receptors using the following answer code (more than one answer may apply):
-Adrenergic receptor found primarily in the heart.

Accepted Answer

Beta 1 receptors are primarily found in the heart and are stimulated by adrenaline and noradrenaline, leading to increased heart rate and contractility.

Question 8

MATCHING
Indicate which part of the autonomic nervous system is being described by writing the appropriate letter in the blank using the following answer code.
-Originates in the cranial and sacral regions of the CNS.

Accepted Answer

The parasympathetic nervous system originates in the cranial and sacral regions of the CNS, while the sympathetic nervous system originates in the thoracic and lumbar regions of the CNS. The somatic system is not part of the autonomic nervous system. Therefore, the correct choice is B.

Question 9

Indicate the characteristics of the types of autonomic receptors using the following answer code (more than one answer may apply):
-Response to activation of this type of adrenergic receptor is usually excitatory.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Indicate the characteristics of the types of...

Question 10

Indicate the characteristics of the types of autonomic receptors using the following answer code (more than one answer may apply):
-Bind primarily with epinephrine.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Indicate the characteristics of the types of...

Question 11

MATCHING
Indicate which part of the autonomic nervous system is being described by writing the appropriate letter in the blank using the following answer code.
-Originates in the thoracic and lumbar regions of the CNS.

Accepted Answer

The sympathetic nervous system originates in the thoracic and lumbar regions of the CNS, while the parasympathetic nervous system originates in the cranial and sacral regions. The somatic system is responsible for voluntary movements and is not part of the autonomic nervous system. C is not a correct answer as it does not accurately describe one specific part of the autonomic nervous system.

Question 12

Indicate the characteristics of the types of autonomic receptors using the following answer code (more than one answer may apply):
-Found in all autonomic ganglia.

Accepted Answer

Nicotinic receptors are found in all autonomic ganglia, whereas muscarinic, alpha, beta 1, and beta 2 receptors are found in various target organs.

Question 13

MATCHING
Indicate which part of the autonomic nervous system is being described by writing the appropriate letter in the blank using the following answer code.
-Has a short preganglionic fiber and a long postganglionic fiber.

Accepted Answer

The sympathetic nervous system is characterized by having short preganglionic fibers and long postganglionic fibers.

Question 14

Indicate the characteristics of the types of autonomic receptors using the following answer code (more than one answer may apply):
-Found on effector cell membranes.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Indicate the characteristics of the types of...

Question 15

Indicate the characteristics of the types of autonomic receptors using the following answer code (more than one answer may apply):
-Found in the heart, associated with increased cardiac functions.

Accepted Answer

Beta 1 receptors are found in the heart and are associated with increased cardiac functions.

Question 16

Indicate the characteristics of the types of autonomic receptors using the following answer code (more than one answer may apply):
-Bind with acetylcholine released from parasympathetic postganglionic fibers.

Accepted Answer

Muscarinic receptors bind with acetylcholine released from parasympathetic postganglionic fibers.

Question 17

Match chemical with correct characteristic.
-Binds with ACH receptor sites.

Accepted Answer

Curare binds to acetylcholine (ACH) receptor sites, blocking the action of acetylcholine and preventing muscle contraction.

Question 18

MATCHING
Indicate which part of the autonomic nervous system is being described by writing the appropriate letter in the blank using the following answer code.
-Innervates smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and exocrine glands.

Accepted Answer

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is divided into two branches: the sympathetic and parasympathetic. Both branches innervate smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and exocrine glands, so the correct answer is C. The somatic system, on the other hand, controls voluntary movements and skeletal muscle contraction.

Question 19

MATCHING
Indicate which part of the autonomic nervous system is being described by writing the appropriate letter in the blank using the following answer code.
-Predominates in relaxed situations.

Accepted Answer

The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for promoting rest and relaxation in the body, which is consistent with a "relaxed situation."

Question 20

Match chemical with correct characteristic.
-Causes explosive release of ACh.

Accepted Answer

Black widow spider venom contains a toxin called alpha-latrotoxin, which causes explosive release of acetylcholine (ACh) in the neuromuscular junction. This can lead to muscle spasms, cramps, and potentially lethal respiratory paralysis.
