HEMISPHERES 3.0 LEVEL VII DISCHARGE &
PREVENTION EXAM QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS WITH 100% COMPLETE
SOLUTION |100% CORRECT
1. Explain the significance of the cerebral lateralization in relation to the
functions of the left and right hemispheres.
It indicates that both hemispheres perform identical functions.
It suggests that the left hemisphere is primarily responsible for
language and analytical tasks, while the right hemisphere is more
involved in spatial and creative functions.
It means that the hemispheres do not communicate with each other.
It shows that damage to one hemisphere has no effect on the other.
2. If a patient experiences damage to the anterior parts of the temporal
lobes, which of the following functions is most likely to be affected?
Balance and coordination
Speech production
Memory and auditory perception
Visual recognition
3. If a researcher uses a PET scan to study a patient with a stroke, what
specific information might they be looking for regarding brain function?
The structural changes in the brain post-stroke
The areas of maximal metabolic activity that are affected by the
, stroke
The electrical activity of neurons in the unaffected areas
The overall size of the cerebral hemispheres
4. What is the name of the structure that divides the cerebral hemispheres?
Transverse fissure
, Lateral sulcus
Median longitudinal fissure
Central sulcus
5. Which area of the cerebral cortex is primarily associated with intellect,
cognition, recall, personality, and working memory?
Posterior association area
Anterior association area
Primary motor cortex
Somatosensory cortex
6. If a patient experiences damage to the insula, which of the following
symptoms might they exhibit, considering its location and functions?
Impaired vision and balance
Difficulty in emotional regulation and altered taste perception
Loss of motor control in the legs
Inability to recognize faces
7. Which area of the brain is located anterior to the premotor cortex and
superior to Broca's area?
Occipital lobe
Frontal eye field
Parietal lobe
Temporal lobe
8. Explain how the motor homunculus challenges the idea of one-to-one
mapping between muscles and cortical neurons.
