Explanation:

Question 36 (Which of the following is NOT a result of parasympathetic excitation?)

The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for "rest and digest" functions. Salivation, elimination of urine, and increased peristalsis of digestive viscera are parasympathetic responses. Dilation of pupils is a sympathetic (fight - or - flight) response, not parasympathetic.

Short bones are roughly cube - shaped or cylindrical and relatively small in length (compared to long bones which are longer and have a distinct diaphysis and epiphysis). A bone that is cylindrical and about one inch long fits the description of a short bone. Long bones are longer (e.g., femur, humerus), sesamoid bones are embedded in tendons (e.g., patella), and irregular bones have complex shapes (e.g., vertebrae).

The skeletal system has functions like hematopoiesis (blood cell production in red marrow), storage of minerals (e.g., calcium, phosphorus), and support (for the body structure). Communication is a function of the nervous system (via neurons), not the skeletal system.

Answer:

dilation of the pupils
