ANP 1111 FINAL EXAM 2026/2027 PRACTICE
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED
A+
What are the four subdivisions of the brain?
cerebrum, diencephalon, brainstem, cerebellum
What is gray matter?
short, nonmyelinated neurons and cell bodies, some is organized into nuclei.
What is white matter?
myelinated axons
How is gray and white matter organized in the spinal cord?
Central cavity surround with gray matter in a butterfly shape, which is surround
with white matter
How is gray and white matter organized in the brain?
Central cavity surrounded with gray matter. Some nuclei scattered. outside of
cerebrum and cerebellum is covered in gray matter. Rest is white matter.
,What are ventricles?
Spaces in the brain filled with cerebral spinal fluid and lined with ependymal cells
What are the four ventricles of the brain?
two lateral ventricles, third ventricle, fourth ventricle
What separates the two lateral ventricles?
septum pellucidum
Where is the third ventricle located?
diencephalon
Where is the fourth ventricle located?
between pons and cerebellum
Where are the lateral ventricles located?
cerebral hemispheres
What connects the third and fourth ventricles?
,cerebral aqueduct
What are the 3 apertures and what do they do?
2 Lateral apertures & 1 median aperture connect the ventricles to the subarachnoid
space
What are the lobes of the brain?
frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, insular
What separates gyri?
sulci
What separates the precentral and the postcentral gyrus?
The Central Sulcus
What is the cerebral cortex and what does it do?
outer layer of the cerebrum, responsible for conscious behaviour
what are the functional areas of the cerebral cortex?
Motor, Sensory & Association
, How is the brain contralateral?
Each hemisphere of the brain handles sensory & motor functions of the opposite
side of the body
How is the brain lateralized?
Although the brain is symmetrical, one side might do more than the other.
Where are the motor areas?
posterior part of the frontal lobe
Where is the primary motor cortex located?
precentral gyrus
What does the primary motor cortex do?
Responsible for the control of skeletal muscles.
What muscles need the most precise motor control?
The face, fingers and the hands
