A) CNS injuries are fatal
B) CNS axons lack any ability to regrow after injury
C) regenerating CNS are misled by chemical signals that prevent proper regrowth
D) CNS axons lack a connective tissue sheath to guide the regenerating axons

Distinguish between a dermotome and a myotome:
- a dermotomem is a patch of skin in which cutaneous innervation is provided by a single spinal nerve. Myotome is part of a muscle in which motor innervation is provided by a single spinal nerve
For the following effects, write P if the effect is due to parasympathetic inputs, and S if the effect is due to sympathetic inputs:
- relaxation of smooth muscle in the walls of peripheral blood vessels
- reduction in heart rate
- increase in output of sweat glands
- increase in motility
- erection of penis/clitoris
- dilation of the pupil
- salivary secretion becomes thicker, more viscous (dry mouth)
- increased blood pressure
- S, P, S, P, P, S, S, S,
Several structures are condensations of fascia, such as skin ligaments. Name two others?
*tendons, deep fascia
Name a palpable bone of the back other than a part of the vertebral column:
*spine of scapulae
Which is/are false?
A) the somatic sensory division of the peripheral nervous system carries propriceptive information and visceral information about which we are not typically aware
B) the autonomic sensory division of the peripheral nervous system carries efferent impulses
C) the CNS processes or integrates sensory information and creates a motor ouput
D) the PNS carries information to and from the CNS
E) the supracristal line is an imaginary line connecting the posterior superior iliac spines, and indicates the inferior limit of the lumbar cistern
