Central nervous system motor neurons are located in:
Select one:

b. brainstem and spinal cord
c. parietal cortex
d. thalamus and hypothalamus
A copy of the motor plan is sent to:
Select one:
a. hypothalamus
b. cerebellum
c. basal ganglia
d. both B and C
The hypothalamus:
Select one:
a. controls homeostatic regulatory behaviors, pituitary hormone secretion, and the autonomic nervous system
b. controls homeostatic regulatory behaviors, pituitary hormone secretion, and the somatic nervous system
c. controls the pain response
d. none of the above
The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system:
Select one:
a. uses acetylcholine (ACh) as a neurotransmitter in both preganglionic and postganglionic neurons
b. is responsible for “fight-or-flight” body functions
c. is responsible for “rest-and-digest” body functions
d. controls skeletal muscle contraction
The sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the nervous system both use:
Select one:
a. norepinephrine (NE) as a neurotransmitter in preganglionic neurons
b. acetylcholine (ACh) as a neurotransmitter in postganglionic neurons
c. acetylcholine (ACh) as a neurotransmitter in preganglionic neurons
d. norepinepherine (NE) as a neurotransmitter in postganglionic neurons
The “master endocrine gland” is the:
