which of the following is not true about rapid eye movement sleep

the length of REM sleep gets shorter through out the night, in fact, it actually gets LONGER

this nervous system division has preganglionic neurons located in the brainstem and sacral spinal cord that send out long axons to innervate ganglia located close to the organ they inervate

parasympathetic nervous system

this tract is activated when you have a stomach ache

this superficial rapidly adapting mechanoreceptor that detects low frequency vibration

meissner's corpuscle

this deep, rapidly adapting mechanoreceptor that detects vibration

pacinian corpuscle

this membrane allows sound vibration to exit the cochlea

round window

this structure provides the most focusing power of the eye
