Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.

Choose the description that best matches the picture:

A central neuron does not synapse in a chain ganglion, but instead within a prevertebral ganglion.

A central neuron synapses with a ganglion at the same level within the chain ganglia.

A central neuron synapses within a more superior ganglion in the chain.

A central neuron synapses within a more inferior ganglion in the chain.

A central neuron synapses within a more superior ganglion in the chain.

another name for the peripheral nervous system

generally considered to be within our voluntary control

An axon from the central neuron that projects to a sympathetic ganglion and represents output from the CNS to the ganglion is referred to as a

sympathetic fiber

preganglionic fiber

postganglionic fiber

collateral fiber

front 14

The axon from a ganglionic neuron that projects to the target effector is called a

The axon from a central sympathetic neuron in the spinal cord can project to the periphery in several ways. Match the following diagrams with their corresponding descriptions:

A

B

C

back 15

A. The fiber can project out to the ganglion at the same level and synapse on a ganglionic neuron

B. A branch can project to more a superior or inferior ganglion in the chain

C. A branch can project through the white ramus communicans, but not terminate on a ganglionic neuron in the chain. Instead, it projects through one of the splanchnic nerves to a collateral ganglion or the adrenal medulla
