x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@
understanding the brain? Choose the correct option.
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@
A) Understanding the brain is a focused area in natural science with the brain se
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@
rving as the common point of focus.
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@
B) Understanding the brain requires knowledge about many things, from the stru
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@
cture of the water molecule to the electrical and chemical properties of the
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@
brain.
C) Understanding the brain requires the study of the different species of the brai
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@
n.

B) Localization of brain function in the cerebrum and cerebellum
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@

3. What is ―mind–brain problem‖? Choose the correct option.
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@

x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x
brain.@
B) The mind is the same as the brain.
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@

4. What notion was displaced by the concept of nerves being described as wires?
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@
Choose the correct option.
x@ x@ x@
A) Nerves are channels that communicate with the brain by the movement of flu
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@
ids.
B) Muscles can be twitched when nerves are stimulated electrically and the brain
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x
itself may generate electricity.
@ x@ x@ x@
C) Signals to the muscles causing movement use the same wires as those that re
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@
gister sensations from the skin.
x@ x@ x@ x@
D) Nerves conduct electrical signals to and from the brain.
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@
5. The combined work of Bell and Magendie revealed a fundamental fact about the
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@
spinal nerves. Choose the correct option.
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@
A) Spinal nerves are myelinated. x@ x@ x@
B) Spinal nerves are bundles of sensory and motor nerves, and in each sensory
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@
and motor nerve fiber, transmission is strictly one-way.
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@
C) Spinal nerves are not hollow tubes carrying fluid.
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@
D) Both humans and animals have spinal nerves.
