Sample questions

1. Which of the following BEST describes the primary function of the somatic nervous system?

a.Maintenance of homeostasis through the fight-or-flight response

b.Regulation of involuntary functions such as heart rate and digestion

c.Control of glandular secretion and smooth muscle contraction

d.Transmission of sensory information and voluntary control of skeletal muscles

2. A major anatomical difference between the somatic and autonomic nervous systems is that the autonomic nervous system utilizes a:

a.Direct connection from the spinal cord to skeletal muscle without synapses

b.Single motor neuron pathway from the CNS to the effector organ

c.Two-neuron chain consisting of a preganglionic and a postganglionic neuron

d.Pathway that exclusively uses acetylcholine at all its synapses

3. Which of the following statements about the sympathetic nervous system is TRUE?

a.It prepares the body for stress by increasing heart rate and dilating bronchi

b.It originates from the craniosacral regions of the spinal cord

c.Its postganglionic fibers are typically short in length

d.It is primarily responsible for the 'rest-and-digest' response

4. A patient is administered a drug that causes a significant increase in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, bronchodilation, and CNS stimulation, with a prolonged duration of action due to resistance to COMT and MAO metabolism. Which of the following drugs is MOST likely responsible?

a.Epinephrine

b.Isoproterenol

c.Norepinephrine

d.Ephedrine

5. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of the cholinergic nervous system?

a.It includes all preganglionic autonomic fibers and somatic motor neurons

b.It utilizes acetylcholine as its primary neurotransmitter

c.Its effects are terminated primarily by the reuptake of acetylcholine into the presynaptic neuron

d.It is responsible for decreasing heart rate and increasing gastrointestinal motility
