● Pia mater
Question 2
Sulci are deep grooves in the brain that separate large regions such as the cerebral hemispheres.
● True
● ✅ False
,Question 3
Theta waves are typically observed in:

● Adults when they are asleep
● ✅ Children and sometimes in adults during concentration
● Adults when they are deeply relaxed with their eyes closed
● All individuals during periods of extreme mental focus
Question 4
In the image, the letter E is pointing to which structure?
● Frontal lobe
● Central sulcus
● Occipital lobe
● ✅ Parieto-occipital sulcus
● Temporal lobe
, Question 5
Match the structure with its function:
● Processes sensory input from the body → ✅ Parietal lobe
● Functions in decision making and personality → ✅ Frontal lobe
● Involved in processing auditory information → ✅ Temporal lobe
