Chapter 11, Problem 11RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The benefit of divergence of the neural pathway in the autonomous nervous system.
Introduction: Autonomous nervous system is a part of the peripheral nervous system, and it supplies neurons to the smooth muscle cells, glands, and internal organs. This nervous system is under the involuntary control system.

Which of the following describe the myelination of the nervous system correctly? Please select all that apply.
A) Caudal structures are myelinated before rostral structures.
B) Myelination of the human central nervous system is not complete until around the age of 25 years.
C) Sensory systems are myelinated before motor systems in the cerebral cortex.
D) Myelination at different ages is not very predictive of behavioral differences.
When expert pianists listen to familiar, well-practiced music, they imagine the finger movements, and the finger area of their motor cortex becomes active, even if they are not moving their fingers (Haueisen & Knösche, 2001). If we regard those neurons as another kind of mirror neuron, what do these results imply about the origin of mirror neurons?
How do drugs of abuse, such as opioids and cocaine, alter the neural circuits and molecular signaling pathways that regulate reward, motivation, and decision-making in the brain, and what are the long-term consequences of chronic drug exposure on brain structure and function?

- How do the functions of the somatic and autonomic nervous systems differ?arrow_forwardWhich statement is true regarding the neuron synapse? A) the preganglion and post ganglionic Neurons physically touch B) a neuronal synapse consists of dendrites on a peeganglionic neuron and the axon terminal is a postganglionic neuron C) binding of a neurotransmitter on a post ganglionic neuron always generates an action perennial D) neurotransmitters can be degraded by enzymes within the synaptic cleft to terminate its effectarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements concerning synapses is FALSE? O A) Modulation of synaptic strength can be presynaptic of postsynaptic B) High frequency stimulation in the presynaptic neuron often leads to DECREASED neurotransmitter release O C) Modulation of synaptic strength can either be short term, lasting seconds, or long term, lasting as long as a lifetime. D) Agonists are drugs that mimic neurotransmitters and antagonists are drugs that block the action of neurotransmitters O E) Certain drugs prevent the reuptake of neurotransmitter from the synapsearrow_forward
- Consider three alpha-motor neurons of different sizes: small, medium and large. All three neurons receive input from the same excitatory interneuron. When the interneuron fires action potentials at low frequency, only one alpha motor neuron fires action potentials. As the action potential frequency of the interneuron increases, two alpha-motor neurons are recruited, and at maximum frequency, all three are recruited. In what order would the three alpha-motor neurons have been recruited? Large first, then medium, then small. Small first, then medium, then large. Medium first, then small, then large. Medium first, then large, then small.arrow_forwardWhat are the two branches of the autonomic nervous system?

A) We don't have enough information to draw conclusions about how this process occurs. B) The postsynaptic structure signals its "choice" to the presynaptic structure. C) The presynaptic structure begins to release its neurochemical onto postsynaptic structures, which adapt by producing the appropriate receptors. D) The "choice" is determined by the genes of both the pre- and postsynaptic cells.arrow_forward
