3. controls ejaculation in males.

4. NS that causes mydriasis (constrict of radial muscle of eye, wide
pupils).

5. NS that causes vasoconstriction of arteries and veins.

6. NS that causes bronchiole and tracheal relaxation (dilation).

7. controls muscular movements.

8. sweat glands are part of.

9. conveys sympathetic signals to the sweat glands.

10. has ganglia located along the spinal cord.

11. has ganglia located near the end organ.

12. has neuromuscular junction (NMJ) which when activated cause
calcium influx into muscle.

13. increases heart contractility.

14. shunt bloods from the skin and digestive tract, and dilates
cardiac and muscle arterioles and veins.

15. causes breakdown of glycogen and lipids.

class best confirms this suspicion?

[A] IgA   [D] IgG

[B] IgD   [E] IgM

[C] IgE   [F] S-IgA 



19. IgA protease is produce by all of the following EXCEPT:

[A] Hemophilus influenzae  [D] St. mutans

[B] St. pneumoniae   [E] Neisseria gonorrhoeae

[C] St. pyogenes   [F] Neisseria meningitides 



20. The serum of a five day-old infant is analyzed for quantitation of
immunoglobulins. The lab reports the following values: IgG = 800 mg/dl
IgA = 1 mg/dl; IgM = 20 mg/dl. Which of the following statements is
most correct?

[A] The IgM is of fetal origin

[B] The IgM is both of fetal and maternal origin.

[C] The IgG is of fetal origin.

[D] The immunoglobulin in the serum is all of fetal origin.

[E] The immunoglobulin in the serum of this infant is all of maternal
origin.



21. Which is the region of complement fixation?

[A] Light chain   [D] Hypervariable region

[B] Heavy chain   [E] Fab portion

[C] Kappa or lambda chain

1) Fight or flight is the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous
system -F
2) 'parasympathetic puts it up' - E
3) 'sympathetic shoots it out' - F
4) sympathetic causes mydriasis - F
5) vasoconstriction is also sympathetic - F
6) bronchodilation is sympathetic - F
7) voluntary movement is the somatic nervous system - C
8) sweat glands are not part of any nervous system - J
9) acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter here - H
10) sympathetic ganglia are along the spine - F
11) parasympathetic ganglia are near the end organ - E
12) the somatic nervous sytem innervates muscles - C
13) the sympathetic increases contractility - F
14) the sympathetic - F
15) in the liver, this is the action of the sympathetic nervous system
- F
