BIOS252 EXAM 2 ANATOMY AND
PHYSIOLOGY III EXAM SCRIPT 2026
QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
◉ Cerebellum Answer: A large structure of the hindbrain that
controls fine motor skills.
-Posterior to pons
- divides cerebrum and brainstem
-Connects brainstem via cerebellar peduncles
-functions to smooth and coordinate the intended motion that is
happening detected by the proprioceptors
-functions in balance and coordination
-regulates tone and posture
◉ Diencephalon Answer: thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus,
CVOs
◉ thalamus Answer: relays messages between lower brain centers
and cerebral cortex
- plays a role in maintaining consciousness
◉ Hypothalamus Answer: maintains homeostasis
,◉ Epithalamus Answer: contains the pineal gland where melatonin
secretes
◉ CVOs Answer: circumventricular organs - monitor chemical
changes because they lack a BBB
◉ Cerebrum Answer: Largest part of the brain; responsible for
voluntary muscular activity, vision, speech, taste, hearing, thought,
and memory.
◉ frontal lobe Answer: Responsible for consciousness and
communication, memory, attention, planning, personality,
judgement, voluntary movement (motor cortex)
◉ parietal lobe Answer: portion of the cerebral cortex lying at the
top of the head and toward the rear; receives sensory input for touch
and body position
touch, pain, temp, and the sense of limb position
◉ temporal lobe Answer: An area on each hemisphere of the
cerebral cortex near the temples that is the primary receiving area
for auditory information with the encoding of memory
, near the ear - auditory
◉ occipital lobe Answer: vision
◉ what is the function and number of olfactory nerve Answer: 1,
smell
olfactory - smelly, stinking
◉ what is the number and function of optic nerve Answer: 2, vision
eyesight
◉ what is the number and function of oculomotor nerve Answer: 3,
movement of eye ball in upper eyelid, motor adjusts lens for near
vision accomodation and constricts pupil
number 3 and does 3 different things ( upper eyelid, constricts pupil,
motor adjusts lense)
◉ what is the number and function of trochlear nerve Answer: 4,
movement of eyeballs
