Question

1) Joe Camel believes that smoking tobacco is beneficial when he isstudying because nicotine is an ____ for acetylcholine, which____.

        agonist; contributes toattention, arousal, and memory
        antagonist; contributes toattention, arousal, and memory
        agonist; regulates sleep andwakefulness
        antagonist; regulates sleepand wakefulness

2) On the way home from the library last night you heard thefootsteps of someone following you. You turned and saw the shadowof a large man heading towards you. You ran to your car faster thanyou had ever run. By the time you got to your car your heart ratewas rapid and you were sweating. This fight or flight response wasmost likely the result of activity in your

        somatic nervous system
        sympathetic nervoussystem
        parasympathetic nervoussystem
        central nervous system

3) Wanda fell down some stairs and hit her head. Prior to heraccident she was an excellent flute player, but she now hasdifficulty coordinating the finger movements required in complexmusical pieces. It is likely that in the fall Wanda damaged her

        reticular formation
        amygdala
        cerebellum
        temporal lobe

4) Erin suffered a brain injury and her neurologist has told herthat there is damage to her reticular formation. In this instance,Erin is most likely to experience

        a disruption of her sleep andwake cycles
        a loss of fine motorcoordination
        the inability to accuratelylocate objects in space
        the degeneration ofdopamine-releasing neurons

5) Vivian has been experiencing unexplained flashes of light andcolor, even when her eyes are closed. She recently saw aneurologist who located a small brain tumor. In this case, it islikely that the tumor is located in Vivian's

        temporal lobes
        right frontal lobe
        occipital lobes
        left parietal lobe

6) The correct order in which a nervous system message "to walk" istransmitted from your brain to the muscles in your legs is

        motorcortex-thalamus-cerebellum-efferent nerves
        somatosensorycortex-midbrain-cerebellum-afferent nerves
        motorcortex-midbrain-cerebellum-efferent nerves
        motorcortex-midbrain-cerebrum-afferent nerves

Explanation / Answer

1) A. agonist; contributes to attention, arousal, andmemory Nicotine is an agonist for Nicotonic Acetylcholinereceptors. 2) B.    sympathetic nervous system The way I remember that sympathetic is fight or flight is Iassociation emotion with "sympathy" and anger and fear are emotionsand correspond to fight or flight. Kind of silly but it worksfor me. 3) C. cerebellum No concepts here, you just need to know your facts 4) A. a disruption of her sleep and wake cycles Again no concepts here 5) C.    Occiptal Lobe Way of remebering: Occiptal is kind of similar to Ocular whichrelates to vision. Also temporal is involved in audio (thinktempo). 6) A.    motor cortex-thalamus-cerebellum-efferentnerves You can eliminate half the responses just by knowing that efferentnerves go away from the brain and afferent towards.
