APHY 201 Ivy Tech Ch 9 CNS Exam Questions with Correct Answers
Question 1:
Outer surface is the convoluted cerebral cortex (most complex integrating area of the brain)
Answer:
Inner core is the basal nuclei
Question 2:
Each hemisphere divided into lobes.
Answer:
Hemispheres connected by corpus callosum
Question 3:
Separates cerebrum and cerebellum
Answer:
Transverse cerebral fissure
Question 4:
Separates precentral gyrus of frontal lobe and postcentral gyrus of parietal lobe Occipital lobe
works with temporal lobe with object and face recognition, and memory formation Temporal
lobe
emotion
Answer:
Central sulcus
house the visual cortex, associated with visuospatial processing, distance and depth perception,
house the auditory and olfactory cortex; responsible for interpreting sounds, plays a significant
role in recognizing and using language, object recognition, involved with visual memory and
,Question 5:
Integrates somatosensory (general senses) information from the body, knowledge of numbers
and their relations, and in the manipulation of objects
Insular lobe
sensation, pain pathways Frontal lobe
complex thought. Corpus callosum
Answer:
Parietal lobe
house the gustatory cortex, sensorimotor processing, risk-reward behavior, autonomics,
visceral responsible for voluntary motor movement, speaking, executive functions, working
memory, and a thick band of axons that functionally and anatomically connects the two
cerebral hemispheres
Question 6:
Association areas—integrate diverse information
Answer:
Sensory areas—conscious awareness of sensation
Question 7:
Each hemisphere concerned with
Answer:
Contralateral
Question 8:
Some cortical functions are performed predominantly by the left hemisphere and some by the
right.
Conscious
behavior involves entire cortex in some way.
Primary visual cortex
by association tracts to visual association areas. Visual association areas
Answer:
Lateralization of cortical function
area of occipital lobe where conscious visual sensation occurs. Differentiates between red and
purple, blue and green, light and dark, static and moving objects, pattern recognition.
Connected in occipital, parietal, and temporal lobes which process retinal data from primary
visual cortex.
Necessary for the perception of visual objects and events. Perceive object location, motion,
color, shape, boundaries, faces. Store visual memories (recognize printed words).
, Question 9:
Communicating with the primary visual cortex, the of the cerebral cortex uses
recognize a flower or a person's face and to appreciate what we are seeing.
Answer:
Visual association area
past visual experiences to interpret visual stimuli (color, form, and movement), enabling us to
Question 10:
Process basic sensation and awareness
Answer:
Primary sensory areas
Question 11:
Perceive and recognize objects, meaning, representation by processing information from the
Answer:
Sensory association areas
Question 12:
Combine information from many sensory association areas for thinking, planning, processing
language
Answer:
Higher-order association areas
Question 13:
Area of temporal lobe that initially processes auditory information to produce awareness of vs.
a trumpet
Answer:
Primary auditory cortexsound as pitch, loudness, and location. Recognizes difference in the
same note played on a piano
Question 14:
Both the right and left temporal cortices
Answer:
Discrimination of sound frequencies and intensities detected by one ear involves
