Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The CTZ has to be stimulated in order for vomiting to occur. The GI mucosa, hypothalamus, and thalamus are not associated with eliciting vomiting. The forebrain, hypothalamus, and thalamus have no part in vomiting.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Feedback:
Alpha1-receptors are found in blood vessels, in the iris, and in the urinary bladder. Alpha2-receptors are located on nerve membranes. Option E is a distracter.
