A. True
Muscarinic receptors respond to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. A. True B. False
A. True
The adrenal gland is innervated by the sympathetic but not the parasympathetic nervous system. A. True B. False
A. True
All of the following are autonomic plexuses except ______. A. brachial B. cardiac C. hypogastric D. celiac
A. brachial
The parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system could also be referred to as: A. craniosacral B. thoracolumbar C. craniocervical D. thoracosacral
A. craniosacral
Which part of the nervous system inhibits the secretion of insulin? A. sympathetic nervous system B. somatic nervous system C. enteric nervous system D. parasympathetic nervous system
A. sympathetic nervous system
Both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems innervate the heart's ventricular muscle fibers. A. True B. False
B. False Both sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers innervate the SA and AV node in the heart, but only sympathetic neurons innervate the ventricular muscle fibers

The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system could also be referred to as: A. craniosacral B. thoracolumbar C. craniocervical D. thoracosacral
B. thoracolumbar
superior cervical ganglion
Bundle labeled A:
What neurotransmitter is used at all ganglionic synapses in the autonomic nervous system? A. glutamate B. norepinephrine C. acetylcholine D. monoamine oxidase
C. acetylcholine
The two types of receptors that respond to acetylcholine are: A. nicotinic and adrenergic B. alpha and beta C. nicotinic and muscarinic D. alpha and muscarinic
C. nicotinic and muscarinic
All of the following are innervated by both the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic except _________. A. eye (ciliary muscle) B. heart (SA/AV node) C. sweat glands D. liver
C. sweat glands
Which of the following ganglions belong to the sympathetic nervous system? A. ciliary ganglion B. pterygopalatine ganglion C. submandibular ganglion D. celiac ganglion
