16
New cards

none of these are correct

Damage to the left ventral root horn at approximately T1 would result in

loss of dorsal column-medial lemniscal inputs
loss of spinothalamic inputs

21
New cards

sympathetic innervation

The secretions of the adrenal medulla act to supplement the effects of .

parasympathetic innervation
somatic stimulation
sympathetic innervation
vagal (X) nerve activity

22
New cards

parasympathetic postganglionic fibers; release NE

Which of the following is mismatched?

parasympathetic postganglionic fibers; release NE
sympathetic postganglionic fibers; release NE
parasympathetic preganglionic fibers; release ACh
sympathetic preganglionic fibers; release ACh

23
New cards

parasympathetic

The division of the autonomic nervous system that is short‐lived and very localized is

somatic
visceral
sympathetic

24
New cards

NE may be secreted into the blood as part of the sympathetic response

Sympathetic responses generally are widespread because .

inactivation of ACh is fairly slow

NE may be secreted into the blood as part of the sympathetic response
postganglionic fibers are short

28
New cards

A threshold stimulus will cause the opening of voltage gated sodium ion channels that will cause further depolarizing stimulus. This stimulus will open still more voltage gated sodium ion channels.

An action potential is regarded as an example of a positive feedback. Which of the following examples below best illustrates the positive feedback aspect of an action potential?

Voltage gated potassium ion channels open slowly and remain open long enough to cause hyperpolarization.
The sodium potassium pump consistently moves ions as long as ATP is available, and regardless of membrane potential changes.
A threshold stimulus will cause the opening of voltage gated sodium ion channels that will cause further depolarizing stimulus. This stimulus will open still more voltage gated sodium ion channels.
Potassium permeability is about 2.5 times greater than sodium ions.
