Sensorimotor System and Neural Integration
in ANP 1106 UPDATED ACTUAL Questions
and CORRECT Answers
What are the two main divisions of the nervous system? - CORRECT ANSWER - Somatic division
and Autonomic division
What functions are controlled by the Autonomic division? - CORRECT ANSWER - Involuntary
functions such as heart rate, smooth muscles, gut, and glands
What is the role of the Somatic division? - CORRECT ANSWER - Controls voluntary movements
by transmitting signals from skin/muscles/joints to the brain and from the brain to muscles
What are the two systems within the Autonomic division? - CORRECT ANSWER - Sympathetic
and Parasympathetic systems
What is the primary function of sensory receptors? - CORRECT ANSWER - To respond to changes
in the environment (stimuli) and trigger nerve impulses
What are the three basic levels of neural integration in sensory systems? - CORRECT ANSWER -
Receptor level, Circuit level, and Perceptual level
What occurs at the receptor level of neural integration? - CORRECT ANSWER - Sensory reception
and transmission to the central nervous system (CNS)
What is processed at the circuit level? - CORRECT ANSWER - Processing in ascending pathways
within the spinal cord
Where does perceptual processing occur? - CORRECT ANSWER - In cortical sensory centers of
the brain
, What are mechanoreceptors sensitive to? - CORRECT ANSWER - Touch, pressure, vibration, and
stretch
What do thermoreceptors respond to? - CORRECT ANSWER - Changes in temperature
What is the function of photoreceptors? - CORRECT ANSWER - To respond to light energy, such
as in the retina
What do chemoreceptors detect? - CORRECT ANSWER - Chemicals, such as those involved in
smell and taste
What stimuli do nociceptors respond to? - CORRECT ANSWER - Pain-causing stimuli, including
extreme temperatures and excessive pressure
What are exteroceptors? - CORRECT ANSWER - Receptors that respond to stimuli arising outside
the body
What do proprioceptors monitor? - CORRECT ANSWER - Stretch in skeletal muscles, tendons,
joints, and ligaments
What are interoceptors also known as? - CORRECT ANSWER - Visceroceptors, which respond to
stimuli arising in internal viscera and blood vessels
What is the difference between simple and complex receptors? - CORRECT ANSWER - Simple
receptors are modified dendritic endings of sensory neurons, while complex receptors are housed in
specialized sense organs
What types of sensations do general senses include? - CORRECT ANSWER - Tactile sensations
(touch, pressure, stretch, vibration), temperature, pain, and muscle sense
