Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sympathetic trunk lies on either side of the spinal cord and through which preganglionic sympathetic neurons enter.

Answer: A
 The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the "fight or flight" response, which involves an increase in heart rate, breathing rate, and blood pressure.

Answer: C
 Alpha receptors are a type of adrenergic receptor that bind to norepinephrine and epinephrine, leading to constriction of blood vessels and other effects.

Answer: D
 Nicotinic receptors are a type of cholinergic receptor that bind to acetylcholine and are found in the sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia.

Answer: F
 Splanchnic nerves are a group of nerves that contain preganglionic sympathetic neurons and innervate organs in the abdominal cavity.

Answer: B
 The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the "rest and repair" response, which promotes digestion, relaxation, and decreased heart rate.

Answer: I
 Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter used by both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems to communicate with their target organs.

Answer: J
 Norepinephrine is a neurotransmitter used by the sympathetic nervous system to communicate with its target organs, leading to various physiological responses.
