The ciliary ganglia and pterygopalatine ganglia are autonomic ganglia of the parasympathetic division.

a)

YES

b)

NO

17.
  1. What are the functions of the ciliary ganglia and pterygopalatine ganglia?

  1. i) The ciliary ganglia are responsible for constricting the pupil.

  2. ii) The ciliary ganglia are responsible  for producing tears and stimulating salivary production from sublingual, submandibular and parotid glands.

  3. iii) The pterygopalatine ganglia are responsible for constricting the pupil.

  4. iv) The pterygopalatine ganglia are responsible for producing tears and stimulating salivary production from sublingual, submandibular and parotid glands.

a)
  1. i and iii

18.
  1. The ANS contributes to our emotional responses by regulating various physiological functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration.

a)

YES

b)

NO

19.
  1. How does the ANS contribute to our emotional responses?

  1. i) The sympathetic division is responsible for the "fight or flight" response, which is triggered    by stress or danger. This response prepares the body to respond to the threat by increasing heart rate, dilating pupils, and increasing blood flow to the muscles. 

  2. ii) The parasympathetic division is responsible for the "rest and digest" response, which is triggered by relaxation and promotes digestion and other restorative functions. 

  3. iii) The sympathetic division is responsible for the "rest and digest" response, which is triggered by relaxation and promotes digestion and other restorative functions. 

  4. iv) The parasympathetic division is responsible for the "fight or flight" response, which is triggered by stress or danger. This response prepares the body to respond to the threat by increasing heart rate, dilating pupils, and increasing blood flow to the muscles.

YES

b)

NO

c)
