1Based on the above illustration, all of the following are anatomical differences between the somatic and autonomic nervous system except:
A)type of neurotransmitter used
B)efferent pathway
C)afferent pathway
D)type of effectors


2The efferent pathway of the autonomic nervous system consists of:
A)a single neuron which does not synapse
B)multiple neurons which synapse at a ganglion
C)multiple neurons which synapse without a ganglion
D)an efferent pathway similar to a spinal reflex


3The location of efferent neuron cell bodies is:
A)different between the autonomic and somatic nervous systems
B)always found in the peripheral nervous system in both systems
C)always found in the central nervous system for both systems
D)found in the autonomic ganglion for the autonomic nervous system

4According to the illustration above, the efferent pathway for the somatic nervous system:
A)synapses just outside the spinal cord at a paravertebral ganglion
B)synapses in a ganglion just outside the receptor
C)synapses directly with the effector
D)both a and b are correct


5According to the illustration above, the efferent pathway for the sympathetic nervous system:
A)synapses just outside the spinal cord at a paravertebral ganglion
B)synapses in a ganglion just outside the receptor
C)synapses directly with the effector
D)both a and b are correct


6The effectors of the somatic nervous system are generally involuntary, whereas the effectors for the sympathetic nervous system are generally voluntary.
A)True
B)False

7Cutting the nerve in 1 would result in:
A)a loss of tone to the artery
B)an inability to regulate the diameter of the artery
C)an inability to regulate blood pressure in that artery
D)all of the above


8As is evidenced by the picture, sympathetic tone means:
A)both parasympathetic and sympathetic branches of the ANS control the activity at the effector
B)neither the sympathetic nor the parasympathetic branches of the ANS control the system
C)both branches innervate the artery, but the sympathetic branch dominates
D)the sympathetic branch of the ANS has sole responsibility for controlling this effector
