Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,4,5
Rationale: The parasympathetic nervous system causes bronchial constriction. The sympathetic and parasympathetic systems are not always opposite in their effects. The sympathetic nervous system is activated under stress. The parasympathetic nervous system is the rest-and-digest response. Sympathetic stimulation causes constriction of arterioles.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Medications cannot manufacture new neurotransmitters, they can only increase or decrease their action. There are virtually no diseases of the autonomic nervous system to heal. Even the newest medications cannot manufacture new neurotransmitters. Medications cannot manufacture new neurotransmitters, even if they have serious side effects.
