1. Why are a broad perspective and an interdisciplinary approach required for
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
understanding the brain? Choose the correct option. gg gg gg gg gg gg
A) Understanding the brain is a focused area in natural science with the brain serving gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
as the common point of focus.

B) Understanding the brain requires knowledge about many things, from the structure gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
of the water molecule to the electrical and chemical properties of the brain.

C) Understanding the brain requires the study of the different species of the brain. gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg

option.

4. What notion was displaced by the concept of nerves being described as wires?

Choose the correct option.
gg gg gg gg
A) Nerves are channels that communicate with the brain by the movement of fluids.

B) Muscles can be twitched when nerves are stimulated electrically and the brain itself

sensations from the skin.

nerves. Choose the correct option.
gg gg gg gg gg
A) Spinal nerves are myelinated. gg gg gg
B) Spinal nerves are bundles of sensory and motor nerves, and in each sensory and

functions gg
