Answer to Question 1

3,2,4,1,5

Global Rationale: In the sympathetic pathway, the action potential travels down the preganglionic neuron, encounters cholinergic receptors where is crosses the first ganglionic synapse, travels down the postganglionic neuron, encounters adrenergic receptors, and the reaches target tissues.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: Increasing salt intake prior to exercising is not necessary.
Rationale 2: There is no need to avoid exercising.
Rationale 3: Salt tablets can increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Rationale 4: Heat-related problems can be best avoided by consuming adequate amounts of water.
Global Rationale: Heat-related problems can be best avoided by consuming adequate amounts of water. Salt tablets can increase the risk of hypernatremia. There is no need to avoid exercising as long as enough water is consumed to avoid dehydration. Increasing salt intake prior to exercising is not necessary.
