Which factor is primarily responsible for the difference between the speed of somatic transmission and autonomic transmission of nerve impulses?
 
  1. Abundance of ganglia
  2. Presence of myelin
  3. Absence of acetylcholine
  4. Availability of neuronal tissue

Question 2

The nurse is explaining the process of synaptic transmission to the client who is taking medication that will affect it. Which client statement would indicate the need for further instruction?
 
  1. The two primary neurotransmitters of the autonomic nervous system are epinephrine and dopamine.
  2. The ganglia contain the neuron cell body of the postganglionic neuron.
  3. The more neurotransmitter released into the synapse, the greater the response.
  4. After the neurotransmitter binds with a receptor, the message is conveyed to the target tissue.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Ganglia are absent in somatic nerves.
Rationale 2: The presence of myelin allows for movement of impulses more quickly than autonomic transmission.
Rationale 3: Absence of acetylcholine is unrelated to the speed of transmission.
Rationale 4: Availability of neuronal tissue is unrelated to the speed of transmission.
Global Rationale: The presence of myelin allows for movement of impulses more quickly than autonomic transmission. Ganglia are absent in somatic nerves. Absence of acetylcholine and availability of neuronal tissues are both unrelated to the speed of transmission.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: This is false, indicating that the client needs further teaching. The two primary neurotransmitters of the autonomic nervous system are norepinephrine and acetylcholine.
Rationale 2: This is a correct statement.
Rationale 3: This is a correct statement.
Rationale 4: This is a correct statement.
Global Rationale: The two primary neurotransmitters of the autonomic nervous system are norepinephrine and acetylcholine, not epinephrine and dopamine. This statement indicates the need for further education. All of the other statements indicate the client understands the teaching that was presented.
