Question

Please help me out by answering all the questions!!

Markita is sitting in the first row of a baseball game, when a foul ball comes streaking at her head. She barely has time to move out of the way, and narrowly avoids getting hit. Which part of her nervous system will go into overdrive and mobilize her energy resources in the face of this near disaster?

the sympathetic nervous system

the rostral nervous system

the caudal nervous system

the parasympathetic nervous system

The genome is the complete

collection of sexual characteristics regulated by the X and Y chromosomes.

range of traits that contribute to reproductive success.

genetic profile common to members of a species.

set of interactions between genes and environment.

The Central Nervous System is:

all portions of the nervous system that are not encased in bone

made up of the brain and spinal chord

the portion of the nervous system that controls the beating of the heart and other “central” organs

covered in a myelin sheath

Which comparison best explains the difference between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems?

The sympathetic nervous system is like a car’s gas pedal, while the parasympathetic nervous system is like a car’s brake pedal.

The sympathetic nervous system is like a lawn mower, while the parasympathetic nervous system is like the lawn.

The sympathetic nervous system is like a vacuum cleaner, while the parasympathetic nervous system is like the bag in a vacuum cleaner.

The sympathetic nervous system is like a airplane, while the parasympathetic nervous system is like a boat.

  • the sympathetic nervous system( it helps in the fight and flight response, hence the correct option)
  • the rostral nervous system (helps in flexing and standing , functions relating to the nose facing or front part)
  • the caudal nervous system (helps in flexing and standing , functions

relating to the tail facing or back part)

  • the parasympathetic nervous system ( functions of the unconscious like

sexual arousal, salivation,etc.)
