| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The nonspecific ascending pathways | involved in the emotional aspects of perception |
| The superchiasmic nucleu is found in the | hypothalamus |
| Cranial nerves V, VI, and VII are found in | pons |
| The arbor vitae refers to | cerebellar white matter |
| the brain stem consists of | midbrain, medulla, and pons |
| the primary auditory cortex is located in the | temporal lobe |
| spinocerebellar tracts | carry proprioceptive inputs to the cerebellum |
| the spinal cord had gray matter on the | inside, white matter on the outside, and a ventral motor root |
| the subarachnoid space lies between what to layers of meninges? | arachnoid and pia |
| the vital centers for the control of heart rate, respiration, and blood pressure are located in the | medulla |
| cell bodies of the sensory neurons of the spinal nerves are located in | the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord |
| the fissure separating the cerebral hemispheres is the | longitudinal fissure |
| the limbic association area of the multimodal association areas provides our | emotional aspect |
| a shallow groove on the surface of the cortex is called a | sulcus |
| the cerebrospinal fluid | is formed mostly by choroid plexuses |
| if the posterior portion of the neural tube failed to develop properly | the spinal cord may be affected |
| the central sulcus separates which lobes? | frontal from parietal |
| neural tracts that convey life-saving information to the brain concerning burning pain would be | lateral spinothalamic |
| What is not found in cerebral cortex? | fiber tracts |
| the hypothalamus | is the thermostat of the body since it regulates temperature |
| the white matter of the spinal cord contains | myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers |
| a lateral tract in the spinal cord would be | rubrospinal |
| and individual accicentally transected the spinal cord between T1 and L1. This would result in | paraplegia |
| spastic paralysis suggests involvement of the | upper motor neurons |
| ridges of tissue on the surface of the cerebral hemispheres are called | gyri |
| the frontal lobe is separated from the temporal lobe by the | lateral sulcus |
| Brodmann's numbering refers to | structurally distinct cortical areas |
| two terms for the massive motor tracts serving voluntary movement are | pyramidal and corticospinal |
| an individual who could trace a picture of a bicycle with his or her finger but could not recognize it as a bicylce is most likely to have sustained damage to the | visual association area |
| Broca's area | is considered a motor speech area |
| the function of commissures is to connect | corresponding areas of the two hemispheres |
| the blood-brain barrier is effective against | metabolic waste as urea |
| which of the following is not part of basal nuclei | substantia nigra |
| all are structures of the limbic system except | caudate nucleus |
| which of the following is not a midbrain structure | third ventricle |
| the process of linking new facts with old facts already stored in the memory bank is called | consolidation |
| an electroencephalogram | indicates a normal frequency range of 1-30 Hz |
| the brain area that regulates activities that control the state of wakefulness or alertness of the cerebral cortex is the | reticular formation |
| which of the following would you not find in normal cerebrospinal fluid | red blood cells |
| REM sleep is associated with | temporary skeletal muscle paralysis, except for the extrinsic eye muscles |
| Mr. Horn was injured in an accident that completely severed his spinal cord at the level T12. You would expect to find all of the following except | slurred speech |
| Injury to the hypothalamus may result in all of the following except | loss of proprioreception |
| White matter of the spinal cord | contains the anterior and posterior spinocerebellar tracts |
| which statement about aging is most accurate? | despite some neuronal loss, changing synaptic connections support additional learning throughout life |
| which association is most accurate | motor-anterior |
| brain wave amplitude | reflects the number of neurons firing synchronously |
| declarative memory is not stored in the | mammillary body |
| Huntington's disease | has symptoms that are the opposite of Parkinson's disease |
| the corpus striatum plays a special role in | skill learning |
| storing information in long-term membory | is facilitated by the release of norepinephrine |
| important nuclei of the indirect system that receive impulses from the equilibrium apparatus of the inner ear and help to maintain balance by varying muscle tone of postural muscles are the | vestibular nuclei |
| which of the following structures is probably not directly involved in memory | medulla |
| the area of the cortex that is responsible for sensations of the full bladder and the feeling that your lungs will burst when you hold your breath too long is the | visceral sensory area |
| which statement about coma is true | coma is defined as total unresponsiveness to stimuli for a long period of time |
| tremor at rest, shuffling gait, stooped posture, and expressionless face are characteristics of | Parkinson's disease |
| which is the mildest consequence of traumatic brain injury? | concussion |
| declaritive memory | is the ability to learn specific information |
| white matter is found in all locations, with the exception of | cerebral cortex |
| second-order neurons of both the specific and nonspecific ascending pathways terminate in the | thalamus |
| loss of ability to perform skilled motor activities such as piano playing, with no paralysis or weakness in specific muscles, might suggest damage to the | premotor cortex |
| Theta waves | are not normal for adults but are common for children. |
