APHY 201 Module 04 Brain and Cranial Nerves Ivy Tech Questions with
Correct Answers
Question 1:
CNS functions emotions
voluntarily control your movements
be aware of your body and surroundings
Answer:
....subconsciously regulate homeostatic responses experience engage in other higher cognitive
processes
Question 2:
Cerebrum
Answer:
....Inner core is the basal nuclei
Outer surface is the convoluted cerebral cortex (most complex integrating area of the brain)
Question 3:
Each hemisphere divided into lobes.
Answer:
Hemispheres connected by corpus callosum
Question 4:
Longitudinal fissure
Answer:
....Separates right and left hemispheres of cerebrum
Question 5:
Transverse cerebral fissure
Answer:
....Separates cerebrum and cerebellum
Question 6:
Central sulcus
Answer:
....Separates precentral gyrus of frontal lobe and postcentral gyrus of parietal lobe
,Question 7:
Occipital lobe
Answer:
....house the visual cortex.
Question 8:
Temporal lobe
Answer:
....house the auditory and olfactory cortex.
Question 9:
Parietal lobe
Answer:
....Integrates sensory information from the body, knowledge of numbers and their relations,
and in the manipulation of objects
Question 10:
Insular lobe
Answer:
....house the gustatory cortex.
Question 11:
Frontal lobe
Answer:
....responsible for voluntary motor movement, speaking, and complex thought.
Question 12:
Corpus callosum
Answer:
....a thick band of axons that functionally and anatomically connects the two cerebral
hemispheres
Question 13:
Three types of cerebral functional areas
Answer:
....Motor areas—control voluntary movement Sensory
, Question 14:
Association areas—integrate diverse information
Answer:
areas—conscious awareness of sensation
Question 15:
Contralateral
Answer:
....Each hemisphere concerned with
Question 16:
Lateralization of cortical function
Answer:
....Some cortical functions are performed predominantly by the left hemisphere and some by
the right.
Question 17:
Conscious
Answer:
behavior involves entire cortex in some way.
Question 18:
Primary visual cortex
Answer:
....area of occipital lobe where conscious visual sensation occurs. Differentiates
between red and purple, blue and green, light and dark, static and moving objects, pattern
recognition. Connected by association tracts to visual association areas.
Question 19:
Visual association areas
Answer:
....in occipital, parietal, and temporal lobes which process retinal data from
primary visual cortex. Necessary for the perception of visual objects and events. Perceive object
location, motion, color, shape, boundaries, faces. Store visual memories (recognize printed
words).
