Page 4: Consider the following: The detrusor muscle is found in the walls of the urinary bladder. Contraction of the detrusor muscle pushes urine out of the bladder. The internal urethral sphincter is a muscle surrounding the urethra. Contraction of the internal urethral sphincter prevents urine from leaving the bladder. 16. What is the effect of norepinephrine (NE) on the detrusor muscle and the internal urethral sphincter? [16] 17. What is the sympathetic effect on the smooth muscle of the iris? [17] 18. Which of the following is a sympathetic effect? [18] 19. Which of the following is a parasympathetic effect? [19] Consider the following: The Beta-1 Adrenergic receptor is found primarily in cardiac muscle. 20. Based on what you know about the location cardiac muscle is, what type of neurotransmitter acts on adrenergic receptors and the effects of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems on the heart, Which of the statements in the dropdown menu is true: [20]

The effectors of the ANS are [3] 4. A preganglionic neuron carries nerve impulses between [4] 5. Which pair of neurons are both unmyelinated? [5]

Free Response 2: PICK ONE of the following free response questions to answer for a maximum of 5 points: Option a – Describe the CONTRACTION CYCLE. Only portions of your answer relating to the contraction cycle will count for bonus points. Hopefully at this point you know what the contraction cycle refers to (Chapter 10). Option b – Describe growth in length of bone at the epiphyseal plate in terms of the separate histological zones and what they do (Chapter 6) Option c – Detail the steps of endochondral ossification (Chapter 6)

Pages 2: 6. Which section divides the body into equal right and left portions? [6] 7. Which body cavity contains the heart and lungs? [7] 8. When glucose concentration in the blood rises above a certain level, β cells in the pancreatic islets release insulin. Insulin acts on the cells of the liver causing them to convert glucose into glycogen. This lowers blood sugar (glucose). When glucose concentration in the blood falls below a certain level (the level, the pancreas stops secreting insulin. This is an example of [8] 9.
