Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Nerve membranes, which are capable of conducting action potentials along the entire membrane, send messages to nearby neurons or to effector cells that may be located inches to feet away via this electrical communication system. Other options are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The parasympathetic system is sometimes called the craniosacral system because the central nervous system neurons that originate parasympathetic impulses are found in the cranium (one of the most important being the vagus or tenth cranial nerve) and in the sacral area of the spinal cord. The thoracolumbar system is the sympathetic nervous system. The other options are distractors.
