Which of the following is not a characteristic of the human sympathetic nervous system?

  1. Prepares the person for fight or flight

  2. Has ganglia near the spinal cord

  3. Increases heart beat

  4. Is a craniosacral division of the autonomic nervous system
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The human sympathetic nervous system controls the functions (for example accelerated heartbeat, reduced digestion rate etc) that help prepare the organism for the physical strain which is required to escape from a dangerous situation.

The preganglionic fibres of sympathetic nervous system arise from thoracic lumbar portion of spinal cord and immediately terminate in ganglia lying near the cord. 
Under stress conditions, preganglionic neurons of this system release acetylcholine which in turn makes postganglionic neurons to release norepinephrine causing increased heart beat.
Sympathetic nervous system is thoracic lumber division of autonomous nervous system. The parasympathetic system is its sacral division
So, the correct answer is 'Is a craniosacral division of the autonomic nervous system'

Which of the following systems slows the heart rate, constricts the pupil and stimulates pancreatic activity during emergency conditions?

  1. Enteric nervous system

  2. Somatic nervous system

  3. Peripheral nervous system

  4. Parasympathetic division

  5. Sympathetic division
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
Parasympathetic nervous system slows the heart rate, constricts the pupil and stimulates pancreatic activity during emergency conditions.
The parasympathetic nervous system has almost the exact opposite effect and relaxes the body and inhibits or slows many high energy functions.
Heart rate is controlled by the two branches of the autonomic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) releases the hormones (catecholamines - epinephrine and norepinephrine) to accelerate the heart rate. The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) releases the hormone acetylcholine to slow the heart rate. 
The reduced heart rate results from an increase in activity of the parasympathetic nervous system, and perhaps from a decrease in activity of the sympathetic nervous system.
Examples of body functions stimulated by the parasympathetic nervous system  include sexual arousal, salivation, lacrimation, urination, digestion, and defecation. 
The parasympathetic nervous system is also known as the rest and digest activation, is the segment that assists with normal, autonomic functions. Typically all are in the control of the parasympathetic nervous system. Since this is the normal state of the body, the parasympathetic system is more active than the sympathetic system in controlling body functions.

Which of the following human parasympathetic function is not under the control of a cranial nerve?

  1. Contraction of bladder

  2. Constriction of pupil

  3. Increase of salivation

  4. Stimulation of gall bladder activity
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The parasympathetic nervous system decreases respiration and heart rate and increases digestion. Stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous systems results in the construction of pupils. Salivation, decrease heart rate and blood pressure.

So, the correct option is 'Contraction of bladder'.

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

  1. Dilation of the pupils

  2. Increased saliva production

  3. Increased stomach activity

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

The parasympathetic nervous system decreases respiration and heart rate and increases digestion. Stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous systems results in the construction of pupils. Decrease heart rate and blood pressure.

So, the correct option is 'Dilation of pupil'.

How many pairs of sympathetic ganglia are present in ANS?

  1. 10

  2. 12

  3. 22

  4. 31.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Sympathetic ganglia are the ganglia of the sympathetic nervous system. It's function is to deliver information to the body about stress and when the body is in danger, and are responsible for the fight-or-flight response. There are usually 21-23 pairs of these ganglia are present that is, 3 in the cervical region, 11 in the thoracic region, 4 in the lumbar region and 4-5 in the sacral region. So, the correct answer is option C.

An example of autonomous nervous system is

  1. Swallowing food

  2. Pillary reflex

  3. Peristalsis of intestine

  4. Knee-jerk response
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The autonomic nervous system controls the coordinated and involuntary movements of the body. The peristalsis of the intestine is an involuntary visceral movement which is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. 

A. Swallowing of food initially is controlled by the somatic nervous system.
B. Pupillary reflex is an unconditioned reflex.
C. Peristalsis of the intestine is controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
D. The knee-jerk response is a monosynaptic reflex action.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Peristalsis of intestine'.

The parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system:

  1. arises from the cranial and sacral spinal cord segments

  2. is concerned with conserving and restoring energy H

  3. has ganglia near or within visceral effectors

  4. all of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The parasympathetic division of autonomic nervous system. The nerve fibres of this system arise from the brain, the cranial nerves and the sacrum of the spinal cord, the sacral nerves

The parasympathetic system is also called the rest and digest system as it stimulates digestion and assimilation
The efferent nerves of the parasympathetic nervous system form ganglia close to the visceral organs or the nerves are innervated in the visceral organs, resulting in the nerve fibers closer to the effector organs to be very short in length
So, the correct option is 'all of the above'

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
The correct matches are;

1. Feature/organ - Salivary glands
Sympathetic neural system - Inhibits secretion
Parasympathetic neural system - Stimulates secretion

2. Feature/organ - Pupil of the eye
Sympathetic neural system - Dilates
Parasympathetic neural system - Constricts

3. Feature/organ - Heart rate
Sympathetic neural system - Increases
Parasympathetic neural system - Decreases

4. Feature/organ - Intestinal Peristalsis

Due to stimulation of sympathetic nervous-system?

  1. Tear secretion increases

  2. Saliva secretion decreases

  3. Sweat secretion increases

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The Sympathetic Nervous System manifests 'fight or flight' responses. It decreases the tear secretion and saliva secretion but increases sweat secretion. The parasympathetic nervous system increases tear secretion and saliva secretion.

Hence, the correct answer is 'sweat secretion increases'.
