ANCC PMHNP Exam Prep – Neuro Questions With Accurate
Answers.
Also known as soma; made up of the nucleus and cytoplasm within the cell
membrane: - accurate answers-Cell body
Transmits signals away from the neuron's cell body to connect with other
neurons and cells: - accurate answers-Stem or axon
Collect incoming signals from other neurons and send the signal toward the
neuron's cell body: - accurate answers-Dendrites
Composed of spinal cord and the brain - accurate answers-Central nervous
system
Conveys information from the CNS to skeletal muscles; responsible for
voluntary movement - accurate answers-Somatic nervous system
Regulates internal body functions to maintain homeostasis; conveys info from
the CNS to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands; responsible for
involuntary movement; divided into the sympathetic nervous system and the
parasympathetic nervous system - accurate answers-Autonomic nervous
system
The excitatory division; prepares the body for stress (fight or flight);
stimulates or increases activity of organs - accurate answers-Sympathetic
nervous system
Maintains or restores energy; inhibits or decreases activity of organs -
accurate answers-Parasympathetic nervous system
Category of brain tissue i that is the myelinated axons of neurons: - accurate
answers-White matter
Composed of nerve cell bodies and dendrites; it is the working area of the
brain and contains the synapses or area of neuronal connection - accurate
answers-Gray matter
, Small shallow grooves in the brain - accurate answers-Sulci
Deeper grooves extending into the brain - accurate answers-Fissures
Raised tissue areas in the brain - accurate answers-Gyri
Largest part of the brain, divided into two halves known as the right and left
cerebral hemispheres - accurate answers-Cerebrum
Dominant in most people; controls most right-sided body functions: - accurate
answers-Left hemisphere
Controls most left-sided body functions - accurate answers-Right hemisphere
Corpus callosum - accurate answers-Connects right and left hemisphere -
facilitates exchange of sensorimotor information between the two
hemispheres.
What area of the brain do these parts/activities occur:
Motor function, premotor area, association cortex, seat of executive functions,
language, personality variables? - accurate answers-Frontal Lobe
Personality, emotional and intellectual changes are a result of problems in
what area of the brain? - accurate answers-Frontal lobe
Responsible for controlling voluntary motor activity of specific muscles: -
accurate answers-Motor function/frontal lobe
Coordinates movement of multiple muscles: - accurate answers-Premotor
area/frontal lobe
Allows for multimodal sensory input to trigger memory and lead to decision
making: - accurate answers-Association cortex/frontal lobe
Working memory, reasoning, planning, prioritizing, sequencing behavior,
insight, flexibility, judgment, impulse control, behavioral cueing, intelligence
and abstraction: - accurate answers-Seat of executive function/frontal lobe
Expressive speech - accurate answers-Language/Broca's area/frontal lobe
