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.
