1. Why are a broad perspective and an interdisciplinary approach required for
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
understanding the brain? Choose the correct option. tx tx tx tx tx tx
A) Understanding the brain is a focused area in natural science with the brain serving a tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
s the common point of focus.
tx tx tx tx tx
B) Understanding the brain requires knowledge about many things, from the structure tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
of the water molecule to the electrical and chemical properties of the brain.
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
C) Understanding the brain requires the study of the different species of the brain. tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
D) Understanding the brain requires the analysis of one approach at a time to yield a n tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
ew synthesis. tx
2. Galen's study of sheep brains was the basis for a theory of brain function that prevailed
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
for almost 1500 years. Which of the following represents this view? Choose the correct
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
option.
A) The heart as the center of intellect and the brain as the cooling system
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
B) Localization of brain function in the cerebrum and cerebellum tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
C) Mind–brain duality tx
D) Parceling the cerebrum into lobes tx tx tx tx
3. What is ―mind–brain problem‖? Choose the correct option.
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
A) Individually, human mental capacities exist in the mind that is outside the brain. tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
B) The mind is the same as the brain. tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
C) Both animals and people possess intellect and a God-given soul.
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
D) The pineal gland is a spiritual entity.tx tx tx tx tx tx
4. What notion was displaced by the concept of nerves being described as wires? Choose
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
the correct option.
tx tx
A) Nerves are channels that communicate with the brain by the movement of fluids.
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
B) Muscles can be twitched when nerves are stimulated electrically and the brain itself
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
may generate electricity. tx tx
C) Signals to the muscles causing movement use the same wires as those that register s
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
ensations from the skin. tx tx tx
D) Nerves conduct electrical signals to and from the brain. tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
5. The combined work of Bell and Magendie revealed a fundamental fact about the spinal
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
nerves. Choose the correct option.
tx tx tx tx
A) Spinal nerves are myelinated. tx tx tx
B) Spinal nerves are bundles of sensory and motor nerves, and in each sensory and mo
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
tor nerve fiber, transmission is strictly one-way.
tx tx tx tx tx tx
C) Spinal nerves are not hollow tubes carrying fluid. tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
D) Both humans and animals have spinal nerves. tx tx tx tx tx tx

tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
B) To demonstrate equal participation of all regions of the brain in all cerebral fu
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
nctions
C) To show that nerves conduct electrical signals to and from the brain
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
D) To show that unique human mental capabilities exist outside the brain
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
7. On what basis did Broca defend functional localization of the brain? Choose the correct
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
option.
A) By establishing a relationship between the production of speech and the right fronta

D) By establishing a relationship between the production of speech and the cerebellum
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
8. To whom can we attribute the theory that behavior is among the heritable traits that can
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
develop? Choose the correct option.
tx tx tx tx
A) Marie-Jean-Pierre Flourens tx
B) Charles Darwin tx
C) Gustav Fritsch and Edward Hitzig tx tx tx tx
D) Franz Joseph Gall tx tx
9. Which of the following is a correct explanation of a disorder that affects the nervous
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
system? Choose the correct option.
tx tx tx tx
A) Cerebral palsy is a motor disorder caused by damage to the cerebrum before, during
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
, or soon after birth.
tx tx tx tx
B) Epilepsy is a progressive disease that affects nerve conduction, characterized by epi
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
sodes of weakness, lack of coordination, and speech disturbance.
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
C) Stroke involves a loss of feeling and movement caused by traumatic damage to the
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
spinal cord. tx
D) Alzheimer's disease is a severe psychotic illness characterized by delusions, halluci
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
nations, and bizarre behavior. tx tx tx
