1. Why are a broad perspective and an interdisciplinary approach required for
u u u u u u u u u u


understanding the brain? Choose the correct option. u u u u u u


A) Understanding the brain is a focused area in natural science with the brain serving u u u u u u u u u u u u u


as the common point of focus.
u u u u u u


B) Understanding the brain requires knowledge about many things, from the structure u u u u u u u u u u


of the water molecule to the electrical and chemical properties of the brain.
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


C) Understanding the brain requires the study of the different species of the brain. u u u u u u u u u u u u


D) Understanding the brain requires the analysis of one approach at a time to yield a u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


new synthesis.u u




2. Galen's study of sheep brains was the basis for a theory of brain function that prevailed
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


for almost 1500 years. Which of the following represents this view? Choose the correct
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


option.
u


A) The heart as the center of intellect and the brain as the cooling system
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


B) Localization of brain function in the cerebrum and cerebellum u u u u u u u u


C) Mind–brain duality u


D) Parceling the cerebrum into lobes u u u u




3. What is ―mind–brain problem‖? Choose the correct option.
u u u u u u u


A) Individually, human mental capacities exist in the mind that is outside the brain.
u u u u u u u u u u u u


B) The mind is the same as the brain.
u u u u u u u


C) Both animals and people possess intellect and a God-given soul.
u u u u u u u u u


D) The pineal gland is a spiritual entity.
u u u u u u




4. What notion was displaced by the concept of nerves being described as wires? Choose
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


the correct option.
u u u


A) Nerves are channels that communicate with the brain by the movement of fluids.
u u u u u u u u u u u u


B) Muscles can be twitched when nerves are stimulated electrically and the brain itself
u u u u u u u u u u u u


may generate electricity.
u u u


C) Signals to the muscles causing movement use the same wires as those that register
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


sensations from the skin.
u u u u


D) Nerves conduct electrical signals to and from the brain.
u u u u u u u u




5. The combined work of Bell and Magendie revealed a fundamental fact about the spinal
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


nerves. Choose the correct option.
u u u u u


A) Spinal nerves are myelinated. u u u


B) Spinal nerves are bundles of sensory and motor nerves, and in each sensory and
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


motor nerve fiber, transmission is strictly one-way.
u u u u u u u


C) Spinal nerves are not hollow tubes carrying fluid.
u u u u u u u


D) Both humans and animals have spinal nerves.

, 6. For what purpose did Franz Joseph Gall study the dimensions of the human head?
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


Choose the correct option.
u u u


A) To understand the propensity for certain personality traits
u u u u u u u


B) To demonstrate equal participation of all regions of the brain in all cerebral
u u u u u u u u u u u u


functions
u


C) To show that nerves conduct electrical signals to and from the brain
u u u u u u u u u u u


D) To show that unique human mental capabilities exist outside the brain
u u u u u u u u u u




7. On what basis did Broca defend functional localization of the brain? Choose the correct
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


option.
u


A) By establishing a relationship between the production of speech and the right
u u u u u u u u u u u


frontal lobe
u u


B) By establishing a relationship between the production of speech and the occipital
u u u u u u u u u u u


lobe u


C) By establishing a relationship between the production of speech and the left frontal
u u u u u u u u u u u u


lobe u


D) By establishing a relationship between the production of speech and the cerebellum
u u u u u u u u u u u




8. To whom can we attribute the theory that behavior is among the heritable traits that can
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


develop? Choose the correct option.
u u u u u


A) Marie-Jean-Pierre Flourens u


B) Charles Darwin u


C) Gustav Fritsch and Edward Hitzig u u u u


D) Franz Joseph Gall u u




9. Which of the following is a correct explanation of a disorder that affects the nervous
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


system? Choose the correct option.
u u u u u


A) Cerebral palsy is a motor disorder caused by damage to the cerebrum before,
u u u u u u u u u u u u


during, or soon after birth.
u u u u u


B) Epilepsy is a progressive disease that affects nerve conduction, characterized by
u u u u u u u u u u


episodes of weakness, lack of coordination, and speech disturbance.
u u u u u u u u u


C) Stroke involves a loss of feeling and movement caused by traumatic damage to the
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


spinal cord.
u u


D) Alzheimer's disease is a severe psychotic illness characterized by delusions,
u u u u u u u u u


hallucinations, and bizarre behavior.
