LESSON REVIEW/PREVIEW
Let us have a review from Chapter 3 before moving forward to the next chapter. With the different
functions of autonomic nervous system, you identify if the function is under the SYMPATHETIC or
PARASYMPATHETIC division. Do this without looking at your notes and check it right after.
Enjoy!

1. Mydriasis / Pupil dilation – PARASYMPATHETIC

2. Urination – PARASYMPATHETIC
3. Bronchodilation – SYMPATHETIC
4. Miosis / Pupil constriction – PARASYMPATHETIC
5. Erection – PARASYMPATHETIC

CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING

You will answer and rationalize this by yourself. This will be recorded as your quiz. One (1) point will
be given to the correct answer and another one (1) point for the correct ratio. Superimpositions or
erasures in your answer/ratio is not allowed. You are given 20 minutes for this activity.
Multiple Choice
1. ___________ detect light touch and superficial pressure and are found in the epidermis.
a. Meissner's corpuscles
b. Pacinian corpuscles
c. Merkel's disks
d. Ruffini corpuscles
e. Free nerve endings
ANSWER: C
RATIO: Light touch and superficial pressure are detected by Merkel's disk.

2. The fleshy part of the external ear on the outside of the head is the:
a. external auditory canal.
b. ceruminous gland.
c. tympanic membrane.
d. auricle.
e. middle ear.
ANSWER: D
RATIO: The auricle is the fleshy part of the external ear that is located on the outside of the
head.

3. The auditory ossicles:

a. include the malleus, incus, and stapes.
b. are located in the inner ear.
c. decrease the vibrations from the tympanic membrane.
d. transmit vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the round window.
e. have all of these characteristics.
ANSWER: A
RATIO: The malleus, incus, and staples are examples of auditory ossicles.

4. The gelatinous mass inside of the eye is called the:

a. lacrimal secretion.
b. mucoid body.
c. vitreous humor.
d. hyaloid mass.
e. scleroid humor.
ANSWER: C
RATIO: The gelatinous mass inside the eye is known as the vitreous humor.

5. Special senses arise from receptors located:

a. primarily in the head.
b. throughout the integumentary system.
c. in the fingertips.
d. in internal organs.
e. only in the central nervous system.
ANSWER: A
RATIO: Special senses that are restricted to specific parts of the body, such as the head.
Special senses include the eyes, nose, ears, and tongue.

6. The maculae and otoliths are found in:

a. the saccule and utricle.
b. the cochlea.
c. the semicircular canals.
d. the tympanum.
ANSWER: A
RATIO: The two otolith organs in the vertebrate inner ear are the utricle and saccule. They are part of
the balancing system (membranous labyrinth) in the bony labyrinth's vestibule (small oval chamber).
They stimulate hair cells with small stones and a viscous fluid to detect motion and orientation.

7. The middle layer of the eye that, consists of the choroid, ciliary body, and iris is:
a. the conjunctiva.
b. the fibrous tunic.
c. the vascular tunic.
d. the nervous tunic.

ANSWER: A
RATIO: The conjunctiva is the middle layer of the eye that includes the choroid, ciliary body,
and iris.

8. During training for night combat, soldiers are trained to look slightly to one side of objects they
detect. This is because:
a. looking indirectly at an object places the image on the fovea centralis.
b. looking directly at an object places the image on the optic disk.
c. color vision is better if you look slightly to one side of an object.
d. the fovea has very few rod cells, which are necessary for vision in dim light.
ANSWER: D
RATIO: When you look at an object directly, it places the image on the fovea centralis.
Because it is a right combat, areas of the retina with a high density of rods are critical.
Looking to one side of the object will cause the image to be diverted to the fovea centralis,
which has very few rod cells, which are required for vision in low light.

9. Which of the following statements is FALSE?

a. Depth perception occurs where the two visual fields of the eyes overlap.
b. One common cause of double vision is misalignment of eyes due to a weakening of extrinsic
eye muscles.
c. Depth perception requires monocular vision.
d. The image seen by each eye is called the visual field of that eye.
ANSWER: C
RATIO: Depth perception requires monocular vision.

10. Pepper, diagnosed with cataracts, was treated by surgically removing the lenses of her eyes. The type
of glasses she should get to compensate for the removal of her lenses would be:
a. concave lenses.
b. convex lenses.
c. glasses to compensate for astigmatism
ANSWER: B
RATIO: Convex lenses allow the passing light to converge.
