Which of the following does NOT involve the somatic
nervous system?
A. voluntary actions
B. some reflexes
C. pain sensory signals
D. homeostasis
Which of the following does NOT involve the somatic
nervous system?
B. some reflexes
D. homeostasis
The somatic nervous system mediates voluntary actions,
while the autonomic nervous system maintains homeostasis.

Maintaining blood pressure is a job of which division of the
autonomic nervous system?
A. sympathetic
B. parasympathetic
C. sympathetic &
parasympathetic
D. central nervous system
Maintaining blood pressure is a job of which division of the
autonomic nervous system?
B. parasympathetic
C. sympathetic &
parasympathetic
Blood pressure is regulated by the interplay of the
sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.

Effector organs are organs innervated by which part of the
nervous system?
A. autonomic
B. somatic
C. autonomic & somatic
D. entire CNS
Effector organs are organs innervated by which part of the
nervous system?
A. autonomic
B. somatic
Organs innervated by the autonomic nervous
system are called effector organs.

Board
The cell bodies of the presynaptic sympathetic neurons can
be found in which of the following structures?
A. prevertebral ganglia
B. paravertebral ganglia
C. sympathetic chain
D. lateral horn (T1-L2)
The cell bodies of the presynaptic sympathetic neurons can
be found in which of the following structures?
C. sympathetic chain
D. lateral horn (T1-L2)
All presynaptic sympathetic nerve cell bodies lie in the lateral
horn of the spinal cord between spinal cord levels T1 to L2.
Back to
Board
What type of rami are only found between spinal segments
T1-L2?
A. interganglionic rami
B. white rami
communicantes
C. gray rami
communicantes
D. segmental rami
What type of rami are only found between spinal segments
T1-L2?
B. white rami
communicantes
C. gray rami
communicantes
Gray rami communicantes reach every spinal nerve, but
white rami communicantes are only found between T1 and L2.
Back to
Board
Presynaptic sympathetic fibers have the option of passing
through or synapsing at ganglia anywhere within what
structure?
A. spinal column
B. sympathetic chain
C. lateral horn
D. cervical plexus
Presynaptic sympathetic fibers have the option of passing
through or synapsing at ganglia anywhere within what
structure?
B. sympathetic chain
C. lateral horn
Presynaptic sympathetic fibers can either synapse in the
sympathetic chain or in preaortic ganglia in the abdomen
(or the suprarenal medulla).
Back to
Board
A postsynaptic sympathetic fiber can re-enter a spinal nerve
via what structure?
A. interganglionic rami
B. white rami
communicans
C. gray rami
communicans
D. sympathetic chain
A postsynaptic sympathetic fiber can re-enter a spinal nerve
via what structure?
A. interganglionic rami
C. gray rami
communicans
Gray rami communicantes carry postsynaptic sympathetic
fibers to every spinal nerve (or more properly, the ventral
primary ramus of every spinal nerve).
Back to
Board
All presynaptic sympathetic fibers leave the spinal cord
via what structures?
A. spinal nerves
B. dorsal rootlets
C. ventral rootlets
D. rami communicantes
All presynaptic sympathetic fibers leave the spinal cord
via what structures?
C. ventral rootlets
D. rami communicantes
Because presynaptic sympathetic fibers are motor fibers,
they leave the spinal cord in the ventral rootlets (of T1 to L2).
