Your class is having a debate about how cats' bodies allow them to have the "righting reflex" Which classmate's argument is best supported by evidence? (a) Their organs are made of special tissues (b) Cats are able to send messages to their brains much faster, allowing their bodies to respond more quickly than ours (c) They have different organ systems than other animals, which give them a different set of abilities (d) They have multiple organ systems working together to help them land safely

Galen performed vivisection, or live experimentation, on animals to learn about the nervous system. What did Galen discover with his squealing pig experiment? A) Galen correctly identified that peripheral nerves could control bodily function B) Galen correctly identified the division between the central and peripheral nervous systems C) Galen demonstrated that tendons, ligaments and nerves were separate entities D) Galen demonstated that transection of individual nerves had little functional consequence.

Neuroscience Question: Which of the following statements ACCURATELY describe spinal cord organization. α-motor neurons are organized from lateral to media such that those found towards the medial section of the spinal cord controls the distal muscles. Lumbar spinal cord enlargement is observed where neurons that innervate the legs and feet are located Neuronal cell bodies (somas) of neurons that innervate single muscles are only found in a single spinal cord segment. Muscles of the trunk are represented medially while muscles of arms and hands are represented laterally Group of answer choices 1, 2, 4 2, 3, 4 2, 4 4 only 1,2,3,4 Here is my reasoning: Please you be the judge if this is correct! α-motor neurons are organized from lateral to medial such that those found towards the medial section of the spinal cord control the distal muscles. This is inaccurate. α-motor neurons are organized from medial to lateral in the spinal cord, with those medially controlling axial…

Neuroscience: Which of the following is true regarding sensorimotor reflexes? Group of answer choices Muscle spindle sensory afferents project to interneurons and lower motor neurons Pain receptor afferent only project to motor neurons Golgi tendon reflex causes contraction of the activating muscle The stretch reflex is a protective circuit that prevents muscle damage None of the above are true

How would your nervous system respond if you encounter a snake on a hiking trail? Group of answer choices The parasympathetic nervous system would send signals to increase the heart rate, decrease salivation, and increase respiration. The somatic nervous system sends signals to the central nervous system to increase heart rate and respiration. The sympathetic nervous system would send signals to increase the heart rate, decrease salivation, and increase respiration. The autonomic nervous system would send signals to the somatic nervous system to increase respiration and heart rate.
