basic anatomy	Poor student describes two systems but does not accurately point out CNS origination sites or lengths of preganglionic fibers	Fair student describes two systems, with some description of CNS origination sites and relative lengths of fibers but minimal detail	Good student describes two systems, with appropriate origins of preganglionic fibers, sites of ganglia, and relative lengths of preganglionic fibers.
neurons	Poor student describes the two major neuron types found in autonomic system but does not accurately identify with parasympathetic and sympathetic systems, does not describe transmitters and receptors involved in detail	Fair student describes the two major neuron types found in autonomic system but does not accurately identify with parasympathetic and sympathetic systems, provides some information about the transmitters and receptors involved	Good student describes the two major neuron types found in autonomic system and identifies the particular transmitters and their receptor subtypes at both preganglionic and postganglionic sites
functions	Poor the student describes some heart functions under control of autonomic system but does not provide detail	Fair the student describes cardiac function under control of autonomic system and the relative actions of para- and symp- innervation, but does not provide "full" description	Good the student describes cardiac function under control of autonomic nervous system and detail of how the para- and symp- system works to control heart rate and force of contraction
