CMB2007 CNS EXAM QUESTIONS AND ACCURATE
ANSWERS 2024-2025
What does the CNS consist of? - Answer brain and spinal cord
how is information relayed to and from the CNS? - Answer Information is relayed to the
CNS by afferent neurons in the peripheral nervous system
The CNS collects and processes this information: this is stored, and if appropriate,
responded to
Information is transported out of the CNS to effector cells by the efferent neurons
**remember it: efferent / effector gives an effect
what is the brain divided into? - Answer The brain is divided into two hemispheres.
What is the functional relevance of the brain being divided into hemispheres? - Answer
The functions of the cerebral cortex are often lateralised to one hemisphere or the
other. For example language skills are usually located on the left side of the brain.
What does the neural bridge that connects the two hemispheres of the brain consist of?
-Answer The two hemispheres are connected by a neural bridge called the corpus
callosum.
what does the forebrain comprise? -Answer cerebrum, thalamus and hypothalamus
what does the hindbrain comprise? -Answer cerebellum, pons, medulla
What does the brain stem comprise? -Answer midbrain, pons, medulla
