Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The right side of the brain is the artistic side and is concerned with forms and shapes. This patient could have difficulty distinguishing the roundness of the spoon with the straight line of the top of the fork. The left side of the brain is more analytical and is concerned with names, numbers, and process.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The SNS is also called the thoracolumbar system because the CNS cells, where the impulses for the SNS originate, are located in the thoracic and lumbar sections of the spinal cord. The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) is called the craniosacral system because the CNS neurons, where the impulses for the PNS originate, are found in the cranium and the sacral area of the spinal cord. Alpha2-receptors are located on nerve membranes and the hypothalamus and medulla are located where the main nerve centers for the autonomic nervous system (ANS) are located.
