1.The cell bodies of afferent ganglia are located in the spinal cord
2.The dorsal root ganglion is a motor only structure
3.Ganglia are collections of neuron cell bodies in the spinal cord that are associated with efferent fibers
4.Ganglia associated with afferent nerve fibers contain cell bodies of sensory neuronsGanglia associated with afferent nerve fibers contain cell bodies of sensory neuronsTodd was startled when the door slammed shut. What part of the brainstem is responsible?MidbrainWhich of the following accurately describes the anatomy of the parasympathetic nervous system?Craniosacral origin; long preganglionic fibers; ganglia near visceral effector organsVisceral reflex arcs differ from somatic in that ________.visceral arcs involve two motor neuronsWhat best characterizes the function of the parasympathetic nervous system?The parasympathetic nervous system maintains homeostasis when the body is at rest.Identify the Medulla OblongatadA series of measurements with a voltmeter show a neuron's membrane potential becoming more negative, from -70 mV to -85 mV.
