The fissure separates the cerebrum from the cerebellum. Your Answer: The transverse fissure Transverse
Describe the function of the brain ventricles. Your Answer: Brain ventricles ARE 4 and are found inside the brain and filled with CSF. 2 laterals and 3rd and 4th ventricles all of them drain in the central canal of the spinal cord and contains CSF; their main function it is where the CSF is made which helps to absorb impacts when the brain faces them for any activity or movements There are four ventricles in the interior of the brain, chambers filled with cerebrospinal fluid which is produced there. Once formed the CSF circulates through the ventricles and into the subarachnoid space bathing and floating the brain.
Correct ! Correct! Question 4
All the following are functions of the hypothalamus except : Maintain homeostasis Controls the pituitary gland Links the nervous and endocrine systems Correct! Relays sensory impulses to the cerebrum***** Question 5
This ventricle is located anterior to the cerebellum. Later al Media l Third Fourth Question 6
This region of the brain controls decision making skills. Frontal lobe Cerebellum Occipital lobe Temporal lobe
Correct Answer Question 7
A patient is having difficulty understanding language but is still able to speak fluently. The patient’s dermatomes are intact. Which area of the brain is most likely damaged? Broca’s area Wernicke’s area Occipital lobe Parietal lobe Primary sensory cortex Question 8
What is muscle tone and how is it maintained? Your Answer: It is manage by the sensory muscles spindles which work with the stretching of the muscles; it helps to maintain muscles contraction. It is crucial for creating reflexes help with the postures and the equilibrium Correct answer Muscle tone is the degree at which muscles remain partially contracted while at rest. Muscle tone is continuously monitored and maintained by the cerebellum to keep bones and joints in place. Question 9
Which statement is false concerning the brainstem? The medulla portion of the brainstem continuous with the spinal cord.
Correct! Correct Answer Correct! The medulla contains reflex centers to regulate vasoconstriction. The midbrain contains the superior and inferior colliculi. The midbrain helps to regulate breathing. Question 10
Which of the following is true concerning the cerebellum? The gray matter is internal while the white mater is external. The cerebellum works to plan body movements by relaying information spinal cord. The anterior lobe receives information from the body trunk. The vermis coordinates the trunk and shoulder movements. Question 11
Alzheimer’s disease impacts which region(s) of the brain? Occipital lobe Frontal lobe Parietal lobe Hippocamp us All the above
Question 14
Label the following spinal cord regions in the diagram below: 1: 5: 6: 9: 11: Your Answer:
Correct! Question 15
What cranial nerve is highlighted in blue (also indicated by the arrow) in the figure below? Optic Oculomot or Trochlear Abducens Spinal Accessory
Correct Answer Question 17
The maxillary branch of the trigeminal nerve: receives sensory information from the eyebrows receives sensory information from the upper lip and upper gums is a mixed sensory and motor branch controls the muscles of mastication Question 18
Use the figure below to answer the following questions. Answer by writing the letter (A-J) from the figure that corresponds with the correct cranial nerve.
Label the nerves (A-C) in the figure below: A: B: C:
Correct! Correct! Correct Answer Question 20
The sacral plexus is formed from spinal nerves: L04- S T12-L C01- C L01-S Question 21
A patient is on a ventilator post a car accident. What region of the spine is most likely damaged? L01- L S01- S T01- T C03-C Question 22
A patient is not able to extend his left wrist or fingers. What nerve is most likely damaged? Ulnar Axillar y Radial

Correct Answer Question 26
Which of the following is false concerning the sympathetic nervous system? It is also called the thoracolumbar division. It is also called the craniosacral division. The primary neurotransmitter is norepinephrine. It inhibits the digestive tract. Question 27
If you were hiking in the woods and came across a mountain lion, which division of your nervous system would have increased activity? Explain your answer. Your Answer: Correct answer The sympathetic nervous system would have increased activity as it is responsible for preparing our bodies to respond to stressful situations. Question 28
If someone sustains an injury to the area of the spinal cord, as shown below by the blue oval, would you be more likely to see paralysis or decreased sensation? Explain your answer.
Your Answer: You would be more likely to see decreased sensation because sensory neurons enter the spinal cord posteriorly. Question 29
One of your patients sustained a hemorrhagic CVA. You notice they have rigid movements when moving their arms. They also have difficulty forming a plan to move their body. What area of the brain is most likely impacted? Explain your reasoning. Your Answer: Correct answer The basal ganglia is responsible for executing a motor plan and to slow and control fine movements (creating the rigid movements). Apraxia, or impaired motor planning. Apraxia results in rigid movements and difficulty executing a motor plan.
