Visit this site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/troublewstairs) to read about a woman that notices that her daughter is having trouble walking up the stairs. This leads to the discovery of a hereditary condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. The electromyography and MRI tests indicated deficiencies in the spinal cord and cerebellum, both of which are responsible for controlling coordinated movements. To what functional division of the nervous system would these structures belong?

Many of the usual causes wereruled out. It was not a stroke, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes,or thyroid dysfunction. The next most obvious cause wasmedication, so her pharmacist had to be consulted. Theside effect of a drug meant to help her sleep had resultedin changes in motor control. What regions of the nervoussystem are likely to be the focus of haloperidol side effects?arrow_forward
- Match the following statements about anatomy to the correct division of the autonomic nervous system. Select "Both" if the statement or effect is true of both divisions. Innervate(s) most major organs of the body. Innervate(s) most blood vessels. Most effector pathways involve two neurons. The vagus cranial nerve carries these fibers. ANSWER OPTIONS: Parasympathetic, Sympathetic, BOTHarrow_forwardSpinal Cord Gray Matter Fill in the blanks with the terms provided. interneurons lateral center gray commissure sensory neurons gray matter posterior anterior The gray matter in the spinal cord is located in the shape resembles a letter H, or a butterfly. The cell bodies of somatic motor neurons are primarily housed in the and its horns, which innervate skeletal muscle. The cell bodies of autonomic motor neurons are found in the horns and innervate cardiac and smooth muscle, and glands. Left and right masses of are the posterior horns. The axons of located in the and the cell bodies of horns.

- The buzzing of the alarm clock woke Carrie. She stretched, yawned, and started to salivate as she smelled the brewing coffee. She could feel her stomach rumble. List the divisions of the nervous system that are involved in each of these actions.arrow_forwardNeurofibromatosis type 1 is a condition where tumours can grow in the nerves near the skin. The growth of tumours prevents the action potentials from quickly travelling through the neurons. Identify the nerve structure from the image below and the division of the nervous system affected by neurofibromatosis type 1. CNS = Central Nervous System PNS = Peripheral Nervous System Select one: a. Nerve Structure Division of Nervous System 3 PNS b. Nerve Structure Division of Nervous System 4 CNS c. Nerve Structure Division of Nervous System 5 PNS d. Nerve Structure Division of Nervous System 1 CNSarrow_forwardClassify the following characteristics to demonstrate your knowledge of differences between the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system. Sympathetic Nervous System Most ganglia lie close to the spinal cord and form two chains of ganglia-one on each side of the spinal cord Increases intestinal motility and stimulates intestinal secretion Postganglionic axons are generally short Preganglionic axons are generally short Postganglionic axons release NE that binds to adrenergic receptors located on the effectors Decreases heart rate, contractility, and conduction velocity Ganglia lie within, or very close to, innervated organs Decreases intestinal motility and inhibits intestinal secretion Long preganglionic axons release ACh that binds to nicotinic receptors located within the ganglia Neurons leave the CNS from the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord Parasympathetic Nervous System Generalized activation is called the fight-or-flight response…arrow_forward
- Following a fracture of cervical vertebra a patient exhibit spastic paralysis on the right upper and lower extremities loss of pain and temperature sensation in the left upper and lower extremities and normal vibration sensors in all extremities. The spinal cord injury most likely involves which of the following?arrow_forwardA bit confused about this question I placed my answer below the question but not sure if the brain is synonymous or not with the peripheral nervous system due to the wording of the question. In the background section the authors wrote “Neurodegenerative disease are progressive conditions that occur through impairment in the function or structure of neurons in the peripheral nervous system or brain [1].’ Based on this quote, is the “or brain” statement synonymous with the peripheral nervous system or is the “or brain” statement in addition to the peripheral nervous system? The nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord are part of the peripheral nervous system. The main function of the peripheral nervous system is to transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body making the "or brain" statement synonymous. How do you know that your answer to question 1 is correct?arrow_forwardComplete transection of the spinal cord produces all of the following effects, except :-a- permanent loss of all sensations mediated by the cord below level of lesionb- permanent loss of voluntary movements by muscles innervated by the cord below level of lesionc- permanent loss of reflexes mediated by the cord below level of lesiond- temporary loss of micturition reflexesarrow_forward
