Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

A tonic-clonic seizure often begins with tonic contraction of the muscles with extension of the extremities and immediate loss of consciousness. Incontinence of the bladder and bowel is common. Cyanosis may occur from contraction of airway and respiratory muscles. The tonic phase is followed by the clonic phase, which involves rhythmic bilateral contraction and relaxation of the extremities. A myoclonic seizure involves bilateral jerking of muscles, generalized or confined to the face, trunk, or one or more extremities. Absence seizures are nonconvulsive, and complex partial seizures are accompanied by automatisms.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

The pelvic nerves leave the sacral plexus on each side of the cord and distribute their peripheral fibers to the bladder, uterus, urethra, prostate, distal portion of the transverse colon, descending colon, and rectum. Sacral parasympathetic fibers also supply the venous outflow from the external genitalia to facilitate erectile function. The hypothalamus, vagus nerve, and postganglionic sympathetic neurons do not control erectile function.
