Back 5

Cerebrum

Front 6

The fourth ventricles lies between the pons and what other structure of the brain?

Back 6

Cerebellum

Front 7

This part of the brain has both a frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes

Back 7

Cerebrum

Front 8

This portion of the brain is the largest part of teh diencephalon and forms the upper and lateral walls of the third ventricle

Back 8

Thalamus

Front 9

Nearly all communication to the cerebral cortex must pass through this structure

Back 9

Thalamus

Front 10

This structure of the brain communicates intimately with the pituitary gland (hypophysis)

Back 10

Hypothalamus

Front 11

This structure of the brain is considered to be the control center for the ANA

Back 11

Hypothalamus

Front 12

The hypothalamus is in control of emotional responses, in addition to the cerebral cortex

Back 12

True

Front 13

The pituitary is part of the brain that is intimately tied to the endocrine system

Back 13

True

Front 14

The medullary respiratory center controls the rhythm and rate of breathing

Back 14

True

Front 15

The vasomotor center of the medulla controls the force and rate of the heartbeat

Back 15

False

Front 16

The cerebellum has an outer cortex, internal white matter, and areas of gray matter buried deep in the white matter

Back 16

True

Front 17

The amygdala is part of the limbic system and has neurons that process the emotions and reactions to fear

Back 17

True

Front 18

The limbic system has neural ties to the autonomic nervous system, the hypothalamus, and the reticular formation

Back 18

True

Front 19

A structure shaped like a sear horse is necessary for forming memories. That structure is the

Back 19

Hippocampus

Front 20

It is easy to mix up the terms "sulcus" and "gyrus" (on the cerebral cortex). The difference between the two structures is that

Back 20

A gyrus is a ridge and a sulcus is a groove

Front 21

The visual association area of the cerebral cortex is located in the

Back 21

Occipital lobe

Front 22

The function of the blood-brain barrier is to

Back 22

help protect the central nervous system

Front 23

The part or layer of the cerebellum that calculates how to smooth and coordinate movements is/are

Back 23

The cortex

Front 24

The second largest region of the brain is the

Cerebellum

Front 25

The primary gustatory (taste) cortex is located in the

Back 25

Parietal lobe

Front 26

The limbic system is the emotional part of the brain. However, because it includes the hypothalamus, it is also the.....region of the brain

Back 26

Visceral-control

Front 27

Cell bodies of the sensory neurons of the spinal nerves are located in

Back 27

The dorsal root ganglia external to the spinal cord

Front 28

The tough, opaque meningeal layer is teh

Back 28

Dura mater

Front 29

Which areas of the brain are most likely to process and store motor skill memories?

Back 29

The premotor cortex, basal ganglia and cerebellum

Front 30

neural centers that control heart rate, respiration, and blood pressure are located in the

Medulla

Front 31

The main visceral control center of the brain is the

Hypothalamus

Front 32

The brain stem consists of the

Midbrain, medulla, and pons

Front 33

A shallow groove on the surface of the cerebral cortex is called a

This type of brain injury in minor, and the symptoms do not last long

Back 34

concussion

Front 35

Cerebrovascular accidents is a long name for what type of brain injury?

Back 35

Stroke

Front 36

.......refers to neural activities including thinking, perceiving, remembering, and recalling information
