Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Stimulation of the vagus nerve increases gastrointestinal activity. Stimulation of the vagus de-creases heart rate, causes pupil dilation, and leads to vasodilation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The spinothalamic tract carries nerve impulses from the spinal cord to the thalamus in the dien-cephalon; the corticospinal tract carries motor impulses. The pyramids assist with motor move-ments. The anterior column carries nerve impulses.

It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
