Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The sensory nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system.
Rationale 2: The motor nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system.
Rationale 3: The brain and spinal cord are components of the central nervous system.
Rationale 4: The two divisions of the peripheral nervous system are the somatic and autonomic.
Global Rationale: The two divisions of the peripheral nervous system are the somatic and autonomic. The sensory nervous system and the motor nervous system are both part of the peripheral nervous system. The brain and spinal cord are components of the central nervous system.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Urinalysis +5 WBC, while abnormal, indicating an infection in the urinary tract, is not in response to the sympathetic nervous system.
Rationale 2: A hemoglobin of 13.5 mg/dL is a normal level.
Rationale 3: An elevated blood glucose level is a metabolic effect of the sympathetic nervous system.
Rationale 4: A blood urea nitrogen of 8 mg/dL is a normal level.
Global Rationale: An elevated blood glucose level is a metabolic effect of the sympathetic nervous system. Urinalysis +5 WBC, while abnormal, indicating an infection in the urinary tract, is not in response to the sympathetic nervous system. A hemoglobin of 13.5 mg/dL and a blood urea nitrogen of 8 mg/dL are both normal level.
