The Brain (Chapter 12) Exam Questions
With Complete Solution Scored A+
Location of cerebrospinal fluid - ANSWER-meninges
Function of cerebrospinal fluid - ANSWER-protects CNS, nourishes the brain, carries
chemical signals throughout the brain
Where is cerebrospinal fluid absorbed back into the blood? - ANSWER-arachnoid villi
Where is cerebrospinal fluid produced? - ANSWER-choroid process
Primary functions of the left cerebral hemisphere - ANSWER-motor- reasoning, problem
solving, language
conscious/verbal
Primary functions of the right cerebral hemisphere - ANSWER-sensory- art, imagination,
spatial thinking
emotional/subconscious
contralateral control - ANSWER-each cerebral hemispheres controls the opposite side
of the body
Corpus callosum and epilepsy patients - ANSWER-the right and left hemispheres are
really like separate brains. the corpus callosum is the only thing that connects them.
they use to cut this connect for severe epileptics.
, five lobes of the cerebral cortex - ANSWER-frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe,
occipital lobe, and the 5th "hidden" lobe the insula
The central succulus separates which lobes of the brain? - ANSWER-dividesthe parietal
and frontal lobes
What does Phineas Gage's story tell us? - ANSWER-His frontal lobe was damaged,
profoundly impacting his personality.
frontal lobe - ANSWER-
the lateral fissure separates which lobes of the brain? - ANSWER-divides the parietal
and temporal lobes
functions of primary and
secondary motor (premotor, frontal eye field, Broca's; prefrontal cortex) - ANSWER-
Primary motor cortex - ANSWER-general movement of the body
functions of the premotor cortex - ANSWER-learned reflexes, repetitive, patterned skills.
I.e. play piano
functions of the frontal eye field - ANSWER-synchronizes eye movements
functions of Broca's area - ANSWER-speech. directs muscle of the tongue
prefrontal cortex - ANSWER-complex movement, elaboration of thoughts, personality,
memory.
