,Question 1
Which of the following structures is part of the central nervous
system (CNS)?
A. Spinal cord
B. Brachial plexus
C. Sciatic nerve
D. Autonomic ganglion
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord. The
spinal cord is therefore part of the CNS. In contrast, the brachial
plexus and sciatic nerve are peripheral nervous system (PNS)
structures (collections of nerves outside the CNS). Autonomic
ganglia are also in the PNS.
Question 2
Which meningeal layer lies directly on the surface of the brain?
A. Dura mater
B. Arachnoid mater
C. Pia mater
D. Epidural membrane
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The meninges have three layers: dura mater
(outermost), arachnoid mater (middle), and pia mater
(innermost). The pia mater is a thin membrane that closely
, adheres to the surface of the brain, following the contours of
sulci and gyri. The dura is the tough outer covering, and the
arachnoid lies between dura and pia. There is no separate
“epidural membrane”; the epidural space is a potential space
above the dura.
Question 3
The primary motor cortex is located in which of the following
gyri?
A. Precentral gyrus
B. Postcentral gyrus
C. Superior temporal gyrus
D. Cingulate gyrus
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The primary motor cortex resides in the precentral
gyrus of the frontal lobe. This gyrus lies just anterior to the
central sulcus and is responsible for initiating voluntary
movement. The postcentral gyrus (option B) contains the
primary somatosensory cortex, not motor. The superior
temporal gyrus is auditory cortex and language association; the
cingulate gyrus is part of the limbic system, not primary motor.
Question 4
The lateral sulcus (Sylvian fissure) separates which two lobes of
the brain?
A. Frontal and temporal lobes
