Which of the following statements are NOT true? (Select all that apply) Somatic motor neurons release the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. The motor pathways in the somatic and autonomic nervous system consist of two motor neurons in series. Autonomic motor neurons release norepinephrine only. The somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system both include sensory and motor neurons. "The effect of autonomic motor neurons is either excitation or inhibition, depending on their transmitters and receptors.

Select ALL the following statements that are TRUE for the vertebrate nervous system: 1. The sympathetic division amplifies the effects of the parasympathetic division. 2. The parasympathetic division releases neurotransmitters that act on receptors that slow heart rate. 3. Stimulating the organs of digestion is a parasympathetic response. 4. The sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions consist of afferent neurons. 5. The autonomic nervous system controls the action of skeletal muscle.
