What is similar about the Autonomic and Somatic Nervous Systems? O Both have smooth muscle as effectors Both can send information to the Central Nervous System through afferent neural pathways Both have skeletal muscle as effectors Both are part of the Efferent (Motor) Division of the Nervous System

Throughout this unit we have been learning about the nervous and muscular systems. Choose a disorder of one or both of these systems and discuss a disorder of them. Many disorders involve both systems.

The processing of incoming information in the central nervous system and deciding what to do with that information represents      sensory input     integration      motor output

The caudal part of the forebrain is thetelencephalon.diencephalon.myelencephalon.reticular formation.midbrain.

Which of the following responses are regulated by the parasympathetic nervous system? (Select all that apply). Reducing heart rate Dilation of the bronchioles O Increasing digestive enzyme release O Pupil constriction Penile erection O Dilation of coronary blood vessels

Describe how neurons communicate. To do this you must address: resting membrane potential; graded potentials; IPSPs; EPSPs; the role of sodium, potassium and calcium; generation of an action potential; inotropic vs metabutropic receptors; why is an AP only one direction; how are neurotransmitters released; continuous vs saltatory conduction; spatial vs temporal summation.

How does the baroreceptor reflex raise blood pressure when blood pressure is too low? Stimulates the sympathetics and stimulates the parasympathetics Inhibits the sympathetics and inhibits the parasympathetics Stimulates the sympathetics and inhibits the parasympathetics Inhibits the sympathetics and stimulates the parasympahtetics
