Human Anatomy
- The limbic system is composed of several interconnected structures including the olfactory bulbs, amygdala, hypothalamus, hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, cingulate gyrus, subcallosal gyrus, septal nuclei, mammillary bodies, and the thalamus. Pair each of these structures with their function listed below: -This limbic area is active when you are trying to memorize the names of brain areas. It is also severely atrophied in people suffering from late stages of Alzheimer’s Disease. -This limbic area is active when you are watching something that makes you feel sad. -This limbic area is active when you feel thirsty. -When the activity of this limbic area is increased you feel a sense of pleasure. -When this limbic area is damaged it often results in patients experiencing anterograde amnesia. -Damage to this limbic structure while rare often results in patients going into a coma. -This cortical limbic structure plays a large role in motivation and movement and has recently been…arrow_forwardWhich of the following describes the disinhibition in the direct pathway of the basal ganglia? Question 6 options: A) Subthalamic nucleus inhibits internal segment of the globus pallidus which disinhibits substantia nigra B) Substantia nigra inhibits striatum which disinhibits the subthalamic nucleus C) Striatum inhibits internal segment of the globus pallidus which disinhibits thalamus D) Striatum inhibits external segment of the globus pallidus which disinhibits thalamusarrow_forwardPlease label the following structures associated with the basal ganglia.arrow_forward
- Which of the following releases norepinephrine as a neurotransmitter? a. preganglionic sympathetic neurons b. preganglionic parasympathetic neurons c. postganglionic sympathetic neurons d. postganglionic parasympathetic neuronsarrow_forwardWhy does the sympathetic division produce simultaneous effects throughout the body, in contrast to parasympathetic effects, which typically are localized to specific organs?arrow_forwardWhy is the sympathetic division called the thoracolumbardivision even though its ganglia extend from the cervical regionto the sacral region?arrow_forward
- Discuss the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system. Why are these referred to as our fight-or-flight and rest-and-digest systems?arrow_forwardWhy is sympathetic action diffuse and long lasting, while parasympathetic is local and short-lived? What would happen to body systems during a stressful situation if these characteristics were reversed?arrow_forwardMr. Putuu has been diagnosed with Horner syndrome, which is caused by dysfunction of the sympathetic neurons in the superior cervical ganglion that innervate structures of the head, face, and neck. What symptoms is Mr. Chevalier likely to face due to his disease?arrow_forward
- Horner’s syndrome is a condition that presents with changes in one eye, such as pupillary constriction and dropping of eyelids, as well as decreased sweating in the face. Why could a tumor in the thoracic cavity have an effect on these autonomic functions?arrow_forwardWhich number represents postganglionic fibers?arrow_forwardMatch the terms with the appropriate ANS division: P = parasympathetic division; S = sympathetic division. Use one or both choices to answer the question.1. two motor neurons2. short preganglionic axons3. long preganglionic axons4. innervates adrenal medullae5. terminal ganglia6. trunk or chain ganglia7. prevertebral ganglia8. craniosacral division9. thoracolumbar division10. activated during exercise, fighting, or fleeing11. rami communicantes12. promotes digestion13. short postganglionic axons14. long postganglionic axonsarrow_forward
