This is the level the spinal cord ends
What is L2?
200
Stimulation of this division would results in construction of blood vessels to digestive tract, constriction of blood vessels to skin, and dilation of blood vessels to muscles and brain
What is the sympathetic division?
200
This somatosensory receptor detects light touch
What is Meissner's corpuscle?
300
This is the correct order depolarization spreads through the heart from the AV node
What is AV bundle (bundle of His) > right and left bundle branches > purkinje fibers > cardiac muscle of ventricles?
300
This type of neuron is generally a sensory neuron
What is unipolar neuron? (also bipolar.. but not the most correct answer!!)
300
What two secondary brain structures does the Rhombencephalon become, and what adult structures do these become?
What are metencephalon (pons, cerebellum), and myelencephalon (medulla)?
300
These are the two plexuses of the enteric nervous system, and their functions.
what are Aurbach's (myenteric - smooth muscle of digestive tract) and Meissner's (submucosal - secretion regulation)
300
These three cranial nerves send information about gustation to the brain.
What are CN VII (facial), CN IX (glossopharyngeal), and CN X (Vagus)?
400
Name four lymph nodes
What are cervical, axillary, mesenteric, and inguinal? (also submandibular, brachial, thoracic, abdominal, iliac, popliteal)
400
What glial cells provide structural support for the CNS and PNS, respectively?
What are astrocytes (CNS) and satellite cells (PNS)?
400
These are the three areas of the medulla
What are the cardiac center, vasomotor center, and medullary respiratory center?
400
These nerves and ganglia contribute to increased salivation.
What is the facial nerve > submandibular ganglion and otic ganglion?
400
These substances contribute to the taste of "umami"
What are glutamate and aspartate?
500
This is pathway of fetal circulation
What is internal iliac arteries > umbilical arteries > placenta > umbilical vein > hepatic portal vein AND ductus venosus to IVC
500
This is the sequence of events in a chemical synapse
What is electrical signal (action potential) spreads down axon > NT release > NT binding > graded potential spreads through dendrite/cell body?
500
These three cranial nerves innervate the eye muscles
What are CN III oculomotor, CN IV trochlear, CN VI abducens?
500
This is the pathway through a chain ganglia, from spinal cord grey matter to target tissue
What is lateral horn > ventral root > spinal nerve > WRC > chain ganglion > GRC > dorsal or ventral ramus > TT?
500
This is the pathway tears take, from production to excretion.
What is lacrimal gland > eye > lacrimal puncta> lacrimal canaliculi > lacrimal sac > nasolacrimal duct > nose?
