All of the following characterize the ANS except (a) a two-neuron efferent chain, (b) presence of neuron cell bodies in the CNS, (c) presence of neuron cell bodies in the ganglia, (d) innervations of skeletal muscles.

To determine:
All of the following characterize the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) except
a two-neuron efferent chain,
presence of neuron cell bodies in the CNS,
presence of neuron cell bodies in the ganglia,
innervation of skeletal muscles.
Answer to Problem 1MC
Correct answer:
(d) Innervation of skeletal muscles
Explanation for the correct answer:
Option (d) is given as innervations of skeletal muscles. The ANS (autonomic nervous system) is classified as a portion of the PNS (peripheral nervous system) that provides smooth muscles and glands and influences the activity of the internal organs. It is a unique system that needs a sequential two-neuron efferent pathway. It consists of cell bodies and these bodies have neurons in the CNS (central nervous system) and ganglia. Hence, option (d) is the correct option.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation for the incorrect answers:
Option (a) is given as a two-neuron efferent chain. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is unique as it requires a sequential two-neuron efferent pathway; the preganglionic neuron must first cross a synapse onto a postganglionic neuron before innervating the target organ. Hence, option (a) is an incorrect option.
Option (b) is given as a presence of neuron cell bodies in the CNS. Neuron cell bodies are a junction between autonomic nerves originating from the central nervous system and autonomic nerves innervating their target organs in the periphery. Hence, option (b) is an incorrect option.
Option (c) is given as a presence of neuron cell bodies in the ganglia. In ganglia, cell bodies of afferent nerves (input nerve fibers) and efferent nerves (output/motor nerve fibers), or axons are present. Ganglia is located in the autonomic nervous system and sensory system. Hence, option (c) is an incorrect option.
ANS is characterized by a two-neuron efferent chain, presence of neuron cell bodies in the CNS and the ganglia.

- Plekhg5 functions in bottle cell formation, and Shroom3 functions in neural plate closure, yet the phenotype of injecting mRNA of each into the animal pole of a fertilized egg is very similar. What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?arrow_forwardWhat are some medical issues or health trends that may have a direct link to the idea of keeping fat out of diets?arrow_forwardwhat did charles darwin do in sciencearrow_forward

First color all the polar and non-polar covalent bonds in the R groups of your 2 amino acids using the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. B. Next, color where all the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds could occur in the R group of each amino acid. Use the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. C. Position the two amino acids on the page below in an orientation where the two R groups could bond together.
