Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The sympathetic nervous system does not regulate digestive functions of the bodythe parasympathetic nervous system does; further education is needed. The sympathetic nervous system regulates the cardiovascular system, the fight-or-flight response, and the body temperature; no further education is needed.

ANS: C
Local anesthetics are the only drugs shown to work by reducing axonal conduction. Antihypertensives, antipsychotics, and antidepressants do not act by reducing axonal conduction.
