Questions and Answers

What are the two branches of the autonomic nervous system, and how can we characterise their functions?

  • Sympathetic and parasympathetic; one prepares the body for action, while the other promotes relaxation and digestion (correct)
  • Central and peripheral; one controls the brain and spinal cord, while the other manages sensory and motor functions
  • Sensory and motor; one processes sensory information, while the other controls muscle movements
  • Somatic and autonomic; one controls voluntary movements, while the other regulates involuntary bodily functions
  • What happens at the level of the spinal cord?

  • Processing of visual and auditory stimuli
  • Integration of sensory information and initiation of motor responses (correct)
  • Production of cerebrospinal fluid and protection of the brain
  • Regulation of hormone secretion and metabolic processes
  • How and why do drugs used to treat psychological conditions, such as depression, cause side-effects in the body?

  • They interfere with the functioning of the autonomic nervous system, causing disruptions in vital organ functions
  • They alter the structure of the peripheral nervous system, leading to sensory disturbances
  • They may affect neurotransmitter levels in other parts of the body, leading to unintended physiological effects (correct)
  • They directly target the central nervous system, affecting cognitive functions
