🗑
Which of these effectors is not directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system?   skeletal muscle  
🗑
The sympathetic division is often casually referred to as the ______   fight or flight  
🗑
Which of the following statements concerning the brainstem is true?   damage to the brainstem is usually fatal

Which of the following is correctly associated with the medulla oblongata?   it relays sensory information  
🗑
The fact that the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body is explained by the   division of the cerebellum into two hemispheres  
🗑
The pyramids of the medulla contain   ascending sensory tracts  
🗑
Which portion of the brain stem is continuous with the spinal cord?   medulla oblongata  
🗑
A patient with a traumatic head injury may exhibit vomiting as a result of irritation of nuclei in the   Medulla oblongata  
🗑
A small lesion on the brainstem which resulted in a rapid heart rate, intense vasoconstriction, and elevated blood pressure would probably be located in the   medulla oblongata  
🗑
The part of the brain that connects the medulla to the midbrain is the   pons  
🗑
Which two portions of the brain are involved in controlling respiration?   pons, hypothalamus  
🗑
The sleep/wake cycle is influenced by the   reticular formation  
🗑
The reticular formation   maintains alertness and attention  
🗑
The cerebellum communicated with other parts of the CNS by means of nerve tracts called the   cerebellar peduncles  
🗑

🗑
Which of the following feelings is not related to hypothalamic function   feeling satiated after a meal

🗑
Which of the following functions is most likely to be preformed by the visual association area?   "recognizes" the face of a close friend  
🗑
Damage to Wernicke's area would result in   "seeing stars"  
🗑
If Broca's area is damaged, the result is   inability to think of things to say  
🗑
A patient has suffered a cerebral hemorrhage that has damaged the primary motor area of his right cerebral cortex. As a result the   patient cannot voluntarily move his left arm or leg  
🗑
Mike who is left handed decided to wear his favorite t-shirt to his anatomy class. On his t-shirt were the words "only left handed people are in their right minds" What does this statement mean?   This means that left handed people are controlled by the right side of the brain.

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
