Portage Learning BIOD 152 Module 2
Exam 2022
Question 1
pts
This layer of the meninges is tightly attached to the brain.
Pia mater (menix)
Question 2
pts
The _______ fissure separates the right and left cerebral
hemispheres.
Median longitudinal
Question 3
pts
Describe the function of the brain ventricles.
There are four ventricles in the interior of the brain,
chambers filled with cerebrospinal fluid which is produced
there. Once formed the CSF circulates through the
ventricles and into the subarachnoid space bathing and
floating the brain.
Question 4
pts
All the following are functions of the hypothalamus except:
,Regulates sleep
Links the nervous and endocrine systems
Correct!
Filters out unimportant sensory information
Regulates water balance
Question 5
pts
What is the largest portion of the brain?
Cerebellum
Correct!
Cerebrum
Corpus collosum
Cingulate gyrus
Question 6
pts
This region of the brain controls decision making skills.
Correct!
Frontal lobe
Cerebellum
Occipital lobe
Temporal lobe
Primary sensory cortex
Question 7
, pts
A patient is having difficulty producing speech sounds, but other
motor movements are normal. Which area of the brain is most
likely damaged?
Correct!
Broca’s area
Wernicke’s area
Occipital lobe
Parietal lobe
Primary motor cortex
Question 8
pts
What is muscle tone and how is it maintained?
Muscle tone is the degree at which muscles remain
partially contracted while at rest. Muscle tone is
continuously monitored and maintained by the cerebellum
to keep bones and joints in place.
Question 9
pts
Which statement is false concerning the brainstem?
The medulla portion of the brainstem continuous with the spinal
cord.
The medulla contains reflex centers to regulate vasoconstriction.
The midbrain contains the superior and inferior colliculi.
