1. Why are a broad perspective and an interdisciplinary approach required for
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
understanding the brain? Choose the correct option. bb bb bb bb bb bb
A) Understanding the brain is a focused area in natural science with the brain bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
serving as the common point of focus.
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
B) Understanding the brain requires knowledge about many things, from the bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
structure of the water molecule to the electrical and chemical properties of
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
the brain. bb bb
C) Understanding the brain requires the study of the different species of the brain. bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
D) Understanding the brain requires the analysis of one approach at a time to bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb

4. What notion was displaced by the concept of nerves being described as wires?
bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
Choose the correct option.
bb bb bb bb
A) Nerves are channels that communicate with the brain by the movement of

fluids. bb
B) Muscles can be twitched when nerves are stimulated electrically and the brain

itself may generate electricity.

bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb
register sensations from the skin.
bb bb bb bb bb
D) Nerves conduct electrical signals to and from the brain.

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