The cell bodies of postganglionic neurons are located _________ the CNS in autonomic ganglia, with fibers terminating on the effector organ.

a. throughout b. outside c. inside d. overlying

Expert Solution

Answer:

Option B (Outside)

Explanation: The human nervous system has two major divisions; namely the CNS (central nervous system) and the PNS (peripheral nervous system). While the CNS has brain and the spinal cord being their components; the PNS comprises of the spinal and the cranial nerves originating from them.

The PNS has two sub divisions namely; the somatic neural system and the ANS (autonomic nervous system).

ANS is the component of the nervous system which controls and regulates the involuntary activities of our body. The system comprises of two major divisions of the ganglions (group of neurons) namely the preganglionic neurons and the postganglionic fibers. While the cell bodies of the neurons of the preganglionic fibers are located within the CNS, the cell bodies of the post ganglionic neurons lie outside the CNS thereby directly terminating on the surfaces of the target/effector organs.

True false questions Neuron cell bodies are only found in CNS but not in PNS, while axons are the opposite. True False If the threshold for AP is set at -60mV, a neuron receives total 8 EPSPs of -65mV and 6 IPSPs of -75mV, after the summation, this neuron will launch an AP. True False Sodium-potassium exchange pump is the key factor in maintaining the concentration gradients of the cations across the plasma membrane. True False The resting potential, -70mV, being close to...

Why is a CNS neuron not usually replaced after it is injured? Classify neurons according to their function? _______ account for roughly half of the volume of the nervous system. Many medications introduced into the bloodstream cannot directly affect the neurons of the CNS because: identify the neuroglia of the peripheral nervous system.

A. Describe parasympathetic and sympathetic neurons, taking into account the relative lengths of the fibers, neurotransmitters involved, and receptors that are present at the pre-post ganglionic junctions and postganglionic-target organ junctions (this does NOT include discussion of how the nerves exit the spinal cord). B. Name 5 effects of the flight-or-flight response and 5 effects that target DIFFERENT components than those named for the sympathetic effects of the rest-and-digest response.
