Cutaneous plexus and papillary plexus consist of

  1. A network of arteries providing dermal supply

  2. Network of nerves providing dermal sensation

  3. Specialized cells for cutaneous sensation

  4. Gland cells that release cutaneous secretion
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Cutaneous plexus is a network of arteries present along the border of hypodermis. These arteries supply blood to the fatty tissue of the hypodermis and deep parts of dermal layer including capillaries of hair follicles, sweat glands and sebaceous glands. Papillary plexus is another network of small arteries which supply blood to the dermal layer.
So, the correct answer is 'A network of arteries providing dermal supply'.

Choose the functions of sympathetic nervous system

  1. Constricts bronchi and pupil of eye

  2. Increases heart rate, relaxes bronchi

  3. Decreases heart rate, increases peristalsis

  4. Dilates blood vessels, stimulates salivary secretions
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The sympathetic nervous system increases heart rate and relaxes bronchial smooth muscle to facilitate increased oxygen intake during the fight or flight response.

An interneuron consists of the following

  1. Long dendrites and short axon

  2. Short dendrites and long and short axon

  3. Short dendrites and a long axon

  4. Long dendrites and a long axon
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Interneurons (also called association neurons) typically have short dendrites and axons that can vary in length, often acting as bridges between sensory and motor neurons.

Which of the following pairs correctly identifies function of parasympathetic nervous system?

  1. Slows heart beat, promotes pancreatic secretion

  2. Increases secretion of sweat gland and intestinal gland

  3. Accelerates heart beat, dilates arteries

  4. Raises blood pressure, increases peristaltic activity.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Parasympathetic Nervous system: It is active during relaxing times, restoring normal activity after stress.
Sympathetic Nervous system: Active during stressful conditions, preparing the body to face them.
A. It is the function of parasympathetic nervous system.
B. Increase secretion of sweat gland by sympathetic nervous system and promote secretion of intestinal juice by parasympathetic nervous system.
C. Accelerates heart beat by sympathetic nervous system and dilates arteries by parasympathetic nervous system.
D. Raises blood pressure by sympathetic nervous system and increases peristaltic activity by parasympathetic nervous system.
So, the correct answer is 'Slows heart beat, promotes pancreatic secretion'.

Which of the following is not an effect produced by parasympathetic stimulation?

  1. Pupil dilation

  2. Increased saliva

  3. Increased stomach activity

  4. Constriction of bronchi
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Dilation of the pupil is the function of the sympathetic nervous system. Parasympathetic stimulation causes: slowing down of the heartbeat; lowering of blood pressure; constriction of the pupils; decreased heart rate; salivation increase; peristalsis of the GI tract.

Which one feature is correctly described?

  1. Salivary glands - secretes saliva - replication

  2. Pupil of the eyes - dilate - constricts- regulates entry of light

  3. Heart rate - decreases - tachycardia

  4. Intestinal peristalsis - stimulates - inhibits - heart rate
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The pupil is a hole or opening in the middle of the iris. Iris is the coloured part of the eye that controls the amount of light entering the eye by adjusting the size of the pupil (contraction and dilation). Salivary glands are associated with digestion while intestinal peristalsis moves the food through the intestine. Tachycardia refers to the presence of faster heart beat. So, the correct answer is option B.
