Question 1

What is the main pacemaker of the heart?

Answer 1

Sinoatrial (SA) node

Question 2

Lymphocytes that migrate to damaged areas and attack invading microbes are the:

Answer 2

T cells

Question 3

A network of blood capillaries which diffuse plasma into the Bowman’s capsule is the:

Answer 3

Glomerulus

Question 4

sensory or receptor neurons aka

Answer 4

Afferent nerves

Question 5

these nerves carry impulses from receptors or sense organs toward the central nervous system.

Answer 5

Afferent nerves

Question 6

The myelinated afferent neurons that quickly convey sharp, precise, acute pain to the brain. Alpha axons have a larger diameter and higher conduction velocity; beta axons are smaller in diameter and have slower conduction velocity.

Answer 6

Alpha-beta axons

Question 7

The portion of the limbic brain responsible for emotional response, memory, and impulse control.

Answer 7

Amygdala

Question 8

The membrane deep to the dura, lined with squamous epithelium; creates a space for cerebrospinal fluid.

Answer 8

Arachnoid mater

Question 9

part of the nervous system that has two divisions: the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The activities of the ANS are involuntary and regulated by the hypothalamus and brain stem. The sympathetic nervous system signals the body’s fight-or-flight mechanisms; the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for returning organ functions to normal levels to maintain homeostasis.

Answer 9

Autonomic nervous system (ANS)

Question 10

The neuronal process that transmits impulses away from a cell body.

Answer 10

Axon

Question 11

The distal termination of the branches of an axon.

Answer 11

Axon terminal

Question 12

Parasympathetic nervous system

Answer 12

One of two divisions of the autonomic nervous system. It is responsible for slowing the heart rate, increasing intestinal and glandular activity, and relaxing the sphincter muscles to return organ functions to normal levels and maintain homeostasis. The other division is the sympathetic nervous system.

Question 13

The nervous system of the periphery; everything that is not brain and spinal cord.

Answer 13

Peripheral nervous system (PNS)

Question 14

A part of the peripheral nervous system that includes sensory neurons that transmit information from special sense receptors, tactile receptors, and general receptors of joints and muscles.

Answer 14

Somatic nervous system

Question 15

One of two divisions of the autonomic nervous system. It signals the body’s fight-or-flight mechanisms associated with the adrenal secretion of epinephrine that causes increased heart rate, increased blood flow to the brain and muscles, increased sugar levels in the blood, and dilated pupils. The other division is the parasympathetic nervous system.

Answer 15

Sympathetic nervous system

Question 16

What effects does the parasympathetic nervous system have on your eyes?

Answer 16

It constricts your pupils to limit how much light enters your eyes. It also makes changes that can help improve your close-up vision, and causes tear production in your eyes.

Example sentence: The parasympathetic nervous system helps constrict your pupils in bright light.

Question 17

What glands does the parasympathetic nervous system affect in your mouth and nose?

Answer 17

It makes glands in your mouth produce saliva, and glands in your nose produce mucus. This can be helpful with digestion and breathing during times of rest.

Additional information: Saliva production is essential for breaking down food.

Question 18

How does the parasympathetic nervous system affect your airway muscles?

Answer 18

It tightens airway muscles and ultimately reduces the amount of work your lungs do during times of rest.

Additional information: This helps conserve energy when the body is at rest.

Question 19

What effect does the parasympathetic nervous system have on your heart rate and pumping force of your heart?

Answer 19

It lowers your heart rate and the pumping force of your heart.

Example sentence: The parasympathetic nervous system helps slow down your heart rate during relaxation.

Question 20

How does the parasympathetic nervous system influence digestion and energy diversion?

Answer 20

It increases your rate of digestion and diverts energy to help you digest food. It also tells your pancreas to make and release insulin, helping your body break down sugars into a form your cells can use.

Example sentence: The parasympathetic nervous system aids in the digestion process by increasing enzyme secretion.

Question 21

What muscles does the parasympathetic nervous system relax to control urination and defecation?

Answer 21

It relaxes the muscles that help you control when you pee (urinate) or poop (defecate).

Additional information: This relaxation allows for proper control of bodily functions.

Question 22

Which is a gland the size of a grape?

Answer 22

Pituitary

Question 23

Where is the medial longitudinal arch?

Answer 23

Calcaneus to first metatarsal

This arch runs from the calcaneus to the first metatarsal.

Question 24

How many phalanges does the foot have?

Answer 24

14

The foot has a total of 14 phalanges.

Question 25

Which muscles originates at the lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus?

Answer 25

Brachioradialis and extensor carpi radialis longus arises from the lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus.

These muscles originate from the lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus.

Question 26

Which muscles originates at the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, otherwise known as the common extensor origin?

Answer 26

The extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor carpi ulnaris, extensor digiti minimi, and extensor digitorum

These muscles originate at the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, also known as the common extensor origin.
