MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. The autonomic nervous system coordinates which of the following? a. High-level cognitive function b. Balance and affect c. Internal organs of the body d. Balance and equilibrium e. Emotions and behavior ANS: C
The autonomic nervous system coordinates the internal organs of the body by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The other options are associated with the cerebral cortex, whose function consists of determining intelligence, personality, and motor function. TOP: Discipline: Neuroscience
MSC: Organ System: Nervous
2. The major function of the sympathetic nervous system is to: a. orchestrate the stress response. b. coordinate fine motor movement. c. determine proprioception. d. contribute input from visual, labyrinthine, and proprioceptive sources. e. perceive stereognosis. ANS: A

Stimulation of the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system prepares the body for emergencies for fight or flight (stress response). The cerebellum plays a key role in the coordination of fine motor movements. Recognition of body parts and awareness of body position (proprioception) are dependent on the parietal lobe. The basal ganglia contribute input from visual, labyrinthine, and proprioceptive sources. Stereognosis is the ability to perceive weight and form of solid objects by touch and is not under sympathetic control. TOP: Discipline: Neuroscience
MSC: Organ System: Nervous
3. The parasympathetic nervous system maintains the day-to-day function of: a. digestion. b. response to stress. c. lymphatic supply to the brain. d. lymphatic drainage of the brain. e. coordinating fine motor movements. ANS: A
The parasympathetic division functions in a complementary and counterbalancing manner to conserve body resources and maintain day-to-day body functions such as digestion and elimination. TOP: Discipline: Neuroscience
