Read each description below regarding the dual innervation of the ANS. Then click and drag each into the appropriate category based on whether it is an example of antagonistic or cooperative innervation.
Antagonistic: - The parasympathetic division contracts the pupils while the sympathetic division dilates the pupils -the sympathetic division stimulates an increase in heart rate while the parasympathetic division stimulates a decrease in heart rate Cooperative: -the sympathetic division stimulates mucus production by salivary glands while the parasympathetic division stimulates enzyme secretion. -During sex, the parasympathetic division stimulates arousal while the sympathetic division stimulates orgasm.
Match the number of the spinal nerve with its location.
C3 -- cervical plexus L2 -- lumbar plexus S3 -- sacral plexus
Match the nerve with examples of the parasympathetic effector organs it innervates.
CN X (vagus) -- thoracic and most abdominal viscera CN VII (facial) -- lacrimal and salivary glands Pelvic splanchnic nerves -- most pelvic vicar CN III (ocuolmotor) -- ciliary muscles in the eye
Match the description listed with the corresponding component of a reflex arc listed.
Carries out the response -- effector Detects the stimulus -- receptor Neuron that sends impulses away from CNS -- Motor neuron Neuron that sends impulses to the CNS -- Sensory neuron Neuron within the CNS -- interneuron
Classify the given items with the appropriate group.
Monosynaptic reflex: -simplest reflex -does not involve interneurons -patellar reflex Polysynaptic reflex: -withdrawal reflex -interneurons receive and process information -more prolonged delay between stimulus and response
Match the selected cranial nerves with their function.
Conducts impulses for equilibrium and hearing -- Vestibulocochlear nerve Vision -- Optic nerve Innervates visceral smooth muscle and cardiac muscle -- Vagus nerve Innervates pharynx & secretion of parotid salivary gland -- Glossopharyngeal Innervates muscles of mastication -- Trigeminal nerve Innervates intrinsic and extrinsic tongue muscles -- Hypoglossal nerve Innervates the facial muscles -- Facial

Dual innervation describes a scenario in which a target organ has innervation from BOTH division(s) of the ANS. If the divisions create opposite effects on the same target organ, it is called ANTAGONISTIC innervation. If the divisions have complementary effects on the target organ or system, it is called COOPERATIVE innervation. Since the parasympathetic division causes BRONCHOCONTRICTION and the sympathetic division causes BRONCHODILATION, this is an example of antagonistic innervation.
Match the plexus with its function.
Esophogeal plexus -- Carries signals that control swallowing correct Hypogastric plexus -- Carries signals to pelvic region correct Pulmonary plexus -- Passes signals to bronchi correct Abdominal aortic plexus -- Composed of celiac and mesenteric plexuses correct
Which of the following parasympathetic nerves controls the production of tears, nasal secretions, and saliva? (a) oculomotor nerve (CN III) (b) facial nerve (CN VII) (c) Glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) (d) vagus nerve (CN X)
Facial nerve (CN VII)
True or False: Catecholamines activate a group of receptors called cholinergic receptors. Group starts
False
True or False: Dual innervation means that visceral effectors are innervated by preganglionic axons from both parasympathetic and sympathetic (ANS) divisions.
False
True or false: Muscarinic cholinergic receptors always produce a stimulatory or excitatory response.
False
Classify the given items with the appropriate group.
Femoral nerve: -posterior division nerve -motor to anterior thigh muscles -sensory from the medial leg -sensory from inferomedial thigh Obturator nerve: -anterior division nerve -motor to medial thigh muscles -sensory from superomedial thigh
Fill in the blanks with the terms provided.
Most nervous system pathways share several general characteristics:• Most pathways DECUSSATE (cross over) from one side of the body to the other side at some point in their travels. The term CONTRALATERAL is used to indicate the relationship to the opposite side, whereas the term IPSILATERAL means the same side. • All pathways are composed of PAIRED TRACTS. A pathway on the left side of the CNS has a matching tract on the right side of the CNS.• Most pathways are composed of a series of TWO OR THREE NEURONS that work together. Primary neurons, secondary neurons, and sometimes tertiary neurons are seen in SENSORY PATHWAYS that facilitate the pathway's functioning. In contrast, MOTOR PATHWAYS use an upper motor neuron and a lower motor neuron. The cell bodies of these neurons are located in the NUCLEI associated with each pathway.
Fill in the blanks with the terms provided. Not all terms will be used.
Motor pathways are DESCENDING pathways in the brain and spinal cord that control EFFECTORS. At least two motor neurons are present in the motor pathway: an upper motor neuron and a lower motor neuron. The cell body of an UPPER motor neuron is housed either within the cerebral cortex or a nucleus within the brain stem. Axons of these synapse either directly on LOWER motor neurons, or on interneurons. The cell body of a lower motor neuron is housed either within the ANTERIOR horn of the spinal cord or within a brainstem cranial nerve nucleus. Axons of the lower motor neurons exit the CNS and project to their specific effector cells.
