Brain and Behavior (Psych 273) UNL
Exam 1 Chapter 1-8
natural selection (Ch 1) correct answers A process in which individuals that have
certain inherited traits tend to survive and reproduce at higher rates than other
individuals because of those traits.
Encephalization Quotient (EQ) (Ch 1) correct answers Measure of brain size obtained
from the ratio of actual brain size to the expected brain size for an animal of a particular
body size
Central Nervous System (CNS) (Ch 2) correct answers brain and spinal cord
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) (Ch 2) correct answers the sensory and motor
neurons that connect the CNS to the rest of the body
autonomic nervous system (Ch 2) correct answers the part of the peripheral nervous
system that controls the glands and the muscles of the internal organs (such as the
heart). Its sympathetic division arouses; its parasympathetic division calms.
sympathetic nervous system (Ch 2) correct answers fight or flight
parasympathetic nervous system (Ch 2) correct answers rest and digest
somatic nervous system (Ch 2) correct answers the division of the peripheral nervous
system that controls the body's skeletal muscles
Enteric Nervous System (ENS) (Ch 2) correct answers an independent neural system
involved with digestion; capable of signaling the brain regarding stress and other
emotions (GI Tract)
spinal cord (Ch 2) correct answers a major part of the central nervous system which
conducts sensory and motor nerve impulses to and from the brain
Midbrain (Ch 2) correct answers A small part of the brain above the pons that
integrates sensory information and relays it upward.
forebrain (cerebrum) (Ch 2) correct answers the largest and most complex brain region,
which contains centers for complex behaviors and mental processes
Brainstem (Ch 2) correct answers The oldest part and central core of the brain,
responsible for automatic survival functions.
, Hindbrain (Ch 2) correct answers An area of the brain that coordinates information
coming into and out of the spinal cord
hindbrain, midbrain, forebrain (Ch 2) correct answers The major subdivisions of the
human brain
Hindbrain parts (Ch 2) correct answers The posterior portion of the brain including
cerebellum and brainstem.
Diencephalon (Ch 2) correct answers thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus
occipital lobe (Ch 2) correct answers A region of the cerebral cortex that processes
visual information
pariental lobe (Ch 2) correct answers A region of the cerebral cortex that processes
information about touch
temporal lobe (Ch 2) correct answers A region of the cerebral cortex responsible for
hearing and language.
frontal lobe (Ch 2) correct answers associated with reasoning, planning, parts of
speech, movement, emotions, and problem solving
frontal lobe location (Ch 2) correct answers front of brain
parietal lobe location (Ch 2) correct answers Behind the frontal lobe
occipital lobe location (Ch 2) correct answers back of brain
temporal lobe location (Ch 2) correct answers sides of the brain
Is the cell membrane and crossing important for behavior (Ch 3) correct answers Yes
Genes (Ch 3) correct answers DNA segments that serve as the key functional units in
hereditary transmission.
Where are our genes? (Ch 3) correct answers On our chromosomes
Genotype (Ch 3) correct answers An organism's genetic makeup, or allele
combinations.
Phenotype (Ch 3) correct answers An organism's physical appearance, or visible traits.
Genes make proteins (Ch 3) correct answers Yes
