Given these phrases:
(1) neuron cell bodies in the nuclei of cranial nerves
(2) neuron cell bodies in the lateral gray horn of the spinal cord
(T1-L2 and S2-S4)
(3) two synapses between the CNS and effectors
(4) regulates smooth muscle
Which of the phrases are true for the autonomic nervous system?
a. 1,3 b. 2,4 c. 1,2,3 d. 2,3,4 e. 1,2,3,4

Introduction:
The autonomic nervous system controls the unconscious movement of the body. It has two important divisions’ sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. They are present on the preganglionic neuron of the CNS and autonomic ganglia of the PNS. The sympathetic axons travel through the sympathetic chain ganglia to their target cell. A ganglion is nerve cell bodies which are connected to one another in a series and form plexus.
Answer to Problem 1RAC
The correct answer is option (e) 1,2,3,4.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (e).1,2,3,4. All the given option is true for autonomic nervous system. The axon of the parasympathetic preganglionic neuron cell bodies is present in the cranial nerves. The lateral gray horn is a motor neuron fiber of the spinal cord that connects two sides of cord, dorsal and ventral ganglia. There are two synapses between the CNS and effectors Ach at the first synapse and Ach or norepinephrine at the second synapse. It helps in regulating smooth muscle contraction. So, the correct answer is option (e).
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (a).1,3. This option is not appropriate because the statement second and fourth is also true. The lateral gray horn from T1 − L2 is present in the sympathetic division and S2- S4 is located in the parasympathetic division. The sympathetic division of the ANS helps in regulating smooth muscle contraction.
Option (b).2,4. This option is not correct because the axon of the parasympathetic preganglionic neuron cell bodies is present in the nuclei of cranial nerves of the CNS which helps in regulating the ANS activity. There are two synapses one at the end of each neuron, first in the CNS and second in the ganglion.
Option (c).1,2,3. This is an invalid option because the fourth statement is also correct, the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system helps in regulating the contraction of the smooth muscle of the target organ.
Option (d).2,3,4. This option is not appropriate because the first statement is also true, The lateral gray horn from T1−L2 is present in the sympathetic division and S2-S4 is located in the parasympathetic division.

Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below.

Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. 18 carbons fatty acids 12 carbons 9 glycerol A. Glycerol is broken down to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, a glycolysis intermediate via the following pathway shown in the figure below. Notice this process costs one ATP but generates one FADH2. Continue generating ATP with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate using the standard pathway and aerobic respiration. glycerol glycerol-3- phosphate…arrow_forward
