Brain & Cranial Nerves
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| List the four major parts of the brain? | Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Brain stem, and diencephalon |
| The adult brain represents only ____ of the total body weight. | 0.02 |
| Cerebrospinal fluid carries chemicals transferred from the ______ to neurons in the CNS. | Blood |
| What is the name of the large cavity located in each hemisphere of the cerebrum? | Lateral ventricle |
| This is a narrow tube that connects the third and fourth ventricles: | Aqueduct of the midbrain |
| Where is the cardiovascular center in the brainstem? | In the medulla |
| This is a netlike region of white and gray matter that extends through the brain, maintaining consciousness. | Reticular formation |
| Nuclei in this structure relay sensory information to the cerebral cortex. | Thalamus |
| This structure regulates eating and drinking behavior. | Hypothalamus |
| Gyri in the cerebrum are formed because: | The gray matter grows faster than the white matter |
| The nuclei deep within the cerebrum that help initiate and terminate movements are called the: | Basal ganglia |
| Where is the primary somatosensory area located? | Parietal lobe |
| Which of the following areas of the cerebrum is responsible for conscious movements the body. | Precentral gyrus |
| Where is the visual area located? | Occipital lobe |
| Which of the following is an extension of the dura mater and separates parts of the brain? | Falx cerebelli |
| How much of the body's oxygen supply does the brain require? | 20% |
| This structure protects the brain by preventing the passage of harmful substances and pathogens from the bloodstream into the nervous tissue. | Blood brain barrier |
| Cerebrospinal fluid is produced in a tissue called: | Choroid plexus |
| These are fingerlike projections that reabsorb CSF into the bloodstream. | Arachnoid villi |
| This part of the brain is composed of the medulla oblongata, pons and midbrain. | Brain stem |
| Where is the center in the brainstem for adjusting the basic rhythm of breathing? | In the medulla |
| This consists of the thalamus, hypothalamus and epithalamus. | Diencephalon |
| This structure has nuclei that control the ANS. | Hypothalamus |
| This structure controls the output of many hormones from the pituitary gland. | Hypothalamus |
| The hypothalamus produces hormones that directly control which of the following glands? | Pituitary |
| This structure produces the hormone melatonin. | Pineal gland |
| The structure that connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres. | Corpus callosum |
| Where is the primary motor area located? | Frontal lobe |
| Where is the Broca's speech area located? | Frontal lobe |
| Which of the following functional areas of the cerebrum is responsible for speech? | Broca's area |
| How many pairs of cranial nerves are there? | 12 |
| Which of the following cranial nerves carries sensory information to the olfactory area? | Cranial Nerve I |
| Which cranial nerves move the eyeball? | Cranial Nerve III, IV and VI |
| Cranial nerve V is also known by which name? | Trigeminal |
| Which cranial nerve is responsible for regulating visceral activity? | Vagus |
| Which cranial nerve is responsible for facial expression? | Facial |
| This structure controls body temperature. | Hypothalamus |
| Where is the pineal gland found? | Epithalamus |
| This structure helps to smooth and coordinate complex skeletal muscle movements. | Cerebellum |
