ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY NERVE TEST A local anesthetic such as Novocaine decreases membrane permeability to Na+ ions. The use of this anesthetic will Block sensory input into the CNS The sensory (afferent) division of the peripheral nervous system Conveys action potentials to the CNS During depolarization of the plasma membrane, sodium ions move rapidly into the cell Neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic terminal The peripheral nervous system includes the cranial nerves...

ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY TEST - DECEMBER Which part of the digestive system absorbs most of the water from undigested food? Large Intestine The large intestine is mainly responsible for: Absorption of water and electrolytes Which part of the small intestine is closest to the stomach? Duodenum The liver plays a key role in: Detoxifying harmful substances The muscular ring that controls the release of food from the stomach into the small intestine is called the: Pyloric sphincter The ...

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY - MUSCULAR SYSTEM TEST What is responsible for all types of movement? Muscles What do muscles do? Contract and shorten and are the machine of the body What are the three basic types of muscle found in the body? 1. Skeletal Muscle - voluntary - provide movement (attached to bones or skin) 2. Cardiac Muscle - involuntary - heart contraction (walls of the heart) 3. Smooth Muscle - involuntary - movement of substances inside the body (walls of hallow organs) ...
