1. Whyare a broad perspective and an interdisciplinaryapproach required for
t t t t t t t t t
understanding the brain? Choose the correct option.
t t t t t t t
A) Understandingthe brain is a focused area in natural science with the brain serving as t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
the common point of focus.
t t t t t
B) Understandingthe brain requires knowledge about manythings, from the structure of t t t t t t t t t t
the water molecule to the electrical and chemical properties of the brain.
t t t t t t t t t t t t
C) Understandingthe brain requires the studyof the different species of the brain. t t t t t t t t t t t t
D) Understandingthe brain requires the analysis of one approach at a time to yield a new t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
synthesis. t
2. Galen's study of sheep brains was the basis for a theory of brain function that prevailed
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
for almost 1500 years. Which of the followingrepresents this view? Choose the correct
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
option.
t

t t t t t t t t t t t t t
B) Localization of brain function in the cerebrum and cerebellum t t t t t t t t
C) Mind–brain duality t
D) Parcelingthe cerebrum into lobes t t t t
3. What is ―mind–brain problem‖? Choose the correct option.
t t t t t t t
A) Individually, human mental capacities exist in the mind that is outside the brain. t t t t t t t t t t t t
B) The mind is the same as the brain. t t t t t t t
C) Both animals and people possess intellect and a God-given soul.
t t t t t t t t t

4. What notion was displaced bythe concept of nerves beingdescribed as wires? Choose the
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
correct option.
t t
A) Nerves are channels that communicate with the brain bythe movement of fluids.
t t t t t t t t t t t
B) Muscles can be twitched when nerves are stimulated electricallyand the brain itself
t t t t t t t t t t t
may generate electricity.
t t t
C) Signals to the muscles causingmovement use the same wires as those that register
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
sensations from the skin.
t t t t
D) Nerves conduct electrical signals to and from the brain. t t t t t t t t
5. The combined work of Bell and Magendie revealed a fundamental fact about the spinal
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
nerves. Choose the correct option.
t t t t t
A) Spinal nerves are myelinated. t t t
B) Spinal nerves are bundles of sensoryand motor nerves, and in each sensoryand
t t t t t t t t t t t
motor nerve fiber, transmission is strictly one-way.
t t t t t t t
C) Spinal nerves are not hollow tubes carrying fluid. t t t t t t t

t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
develop? Choose the correct option.
t t t t t

t t t t
A) Cerebral palsyis a motor disorder caused bydamage to the cerebrum before, during,
t t t t t t t t t t t
or soon after birth.
t t t t
B) Epilepsyisa progressive disease that affects nerve conduction, characterized by t t t t t t t t t
episodes of weakness, lack of coordination, and speech disturbance.
