a.High-level cognitive function and parasympathetic nervous systems. The other
b.Balance and affect options are associated with the cerebral cortex;
c.Internal organs of the body its function consists of determining intelligence,
d.Balance and equilibrium personality, and motor function.

2. The major function of the sympathetic A
nervous system is to: Stimulation of the sympathetic branch of the au-
tonomic nervous system prepares the body for
a.orchestrate the stress response. emergencies for fight or flight (stress response).
b.coordinate fine motor movement. The cerebellum plays a key role in the coordi-

prioception) are dependent on the parietal lobe.
Stereognosis is the ability to perceive the weight
and form of solid objects by touch and is not under
sympathetic control.

3. he parasympathetic nervous system A
maintains the day-to-day function of: The parasympathetic division functions in a com-
plementary and counterbalancing manner to con-
a.digestion. serve body resources and maintain day to day
b.response to stress. body functions, such as digestion and elimination.
c.lymphatic supply to the brain.
d.lymphatic drainage of the brain.

4. Cerebrospinal fluid serves as a: C
Cerebrospinal fluid circulates between an inter-
a.nerve impulse transmitter. connecting system of ventricles in the brain and
b.red blood cell conveyer.
c.shock absorber.

5. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy will B
likely produce: Peripheral neuropathy is a disorder of the pe-
ripheral nervous system that results in motor and
a.hyperactive ankle reflexes. sensory loss in the distribution of one or more

c.exaggerated vibratory sense. may have sensations of numbness, tingling, burn-
d.hypersensitive temperature percep- ing, and cramping. In moderate to severe diabetic
tion. neuropathy, there is wasting of the foot muscles,
absent ankle and knee reflexes, decreased or no
vibratory sensation below the knees, and/or loss
of pain or sharp touch sensation to the midcalf
level.

6. The thalamus is the major integration C
center for the perception of: The thalamus is the major integrating center for
the perception of various sensations such as pain
a.speech. and temperature, serving as the relay center be-
b.olfaction. tween the basal ganglia and cerebellum. The re-
c.pain. ception of speech and interpretation of speech are
d.thoughts. located in the Wernicke area. The olfactory sense
is processed in the parietal lobe. The cerebrum
holds memories, allows you to plan, and enables
you to imagine and think.

7. The awareness of body position is A
known as: Recognition of body parts and awareness of body
position are known as proprioception. This is de-
a.proprioception. pendent on the parietal lobe. The other options

nation of their source. The frontal lobe contains
a.Frontal lobe the motor cortex associated with voluntary skeletal

d.Temporal lobe sible for processing received sensory data.

9. Peripheral nerves that arise from the C
brain rather than the spinal cord are Cranial nerves are peripheral nerves that arise
called ___________ nerves. from the brain rather than the spinal cord. The
other choices refer to the autonomic nervous sys-
a.sympathetic tem.
