Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The lateral horn contains cell bodies within the autonomic nervous system. Both the anterior and ventral horns contain the nerve cell bodies for efferent pathways that leave the spinal cord by way of spinal nerves. The dorsal horn contains sensory neurons.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The corpus callosum connects the two cerebral hemispheres and is essential in coordinating activ-ities between hemispheres. The peduncle is made up of efferent fibers of the corticospinal, corti-cobulbar, and corticopontocerebel lar tracts. The basal ganglia is a portion of the pyramidal sys-tem. The pons (bridge) is easily recognized by its bulging appearance below the midbrain and above the medulla.
