- Decussation

Describe the direction of sensory input and motor commands relative to the spinal cord. - Both sensory input and motor commands travel toward the spinal cord. - Sensory input travels toward the spinal cord and motor commands travel away from the spinal cord. - Sensory input travels away from the spinal cord and motor commands travel toward the spinal cord. - Both sensory input and motor commands travel away from the spinal cord

- Sensory input travels toward the spinal cord and motor commands travel away from the spinal cord.

Which neurotransmitter is released at the sympathetic chain ganglia? - acetylcholine - norepinephrine - endorphin - dopamine - All of the answers are correct.

- acetylcholine

A neuron with nicotinic receptors is exposed to acetylcholine. This will not lead to - excitation of the neuron. - binding of the nicotine to the channel. - activation of chemically gated ion channels. - entry of sodium ion. - activation of muscarinic receptors.

- binding of the nicotine to the channel.

- constriction of pupil

Reflexes that activate muscles on the opposite side of the body as the stimulus are called - collateral. - antilateral. - ipsilateral. - contralateral. - bilateral.

- contralateral.

The ________ reflex complements the flexor reflex by activating contralateral muscles. - crossed extensor - flexor - tendon - stretch - reciprocal

- crossed extensor

- ganglionic neurons.

A viral disease that destroys the neuronal cell bodies of the anterior gray horn will - interfere with communication from one side of the spinal cord to the other. - lead to muscle weakness or paralysis. - mainly interfere with crude touch and temperature sense. - interfere with position sense. - block autonomic regulation.

- lead to muscle weakness or paralysis.

Bill contracts a viral disease that destroys cells in the posterior gray horns in his spinal cord. As a result, which of the following would you expect? - uncontrollable sweating of his feet - problems with moving his arms - problems with moving his legs - loss of sensation in his torso - inability to breathe

- loss of sensation in his torso

The white matter of the spinal cord is mainly - neuroglia. - unmyelinated axons. - myelinated axons. - Schwann cells. - nodes of Ranvier.

- myelinated axons.
