Over all this is good, but there a re a few mistakes. In question 4, you did not explain the function of the sympathetic and the parasympathetic systems. Question 5, you have two of the types of neurons and their functions mixed up. And finally, you did not do the sketch. Outside of this, everything looks good. If you make these corrections, please post another comment indicating that you have made corrections and you would like me to regrade the assignment.
