Obj. 3.01-3.02 Nervous System

If all neurons in the body were functioning normally except those in the cerebrum, what could a person do? 

• Breathe
• See
• Move
• Think

What structure in the brain is responsible for producing smooth coordinated movements and maintaining body posture?

• Cerebrum
• Cerabellum
• Frontal lobe
• Balance

There are four fluid cavities in the brain that contain cerebrospinal fluid. What are they called?

• Villi
• Sinuses
• Ventricles
• Lobes

What is contained in the cerebral ventricles and serves as a liquid shock absorber to protect the brain?

• Connective tissue
• Lymph fluid
• Adipose tissue
• Cerebrospinal fluid 

What part of the brain is responsible for maintaining consciousness, mental processing, and normal speech?

• Thalamus
• Hypothalamus
• Cerebrum
• Cerebellum

The autonomic nervous system consists of motor neurons that would control:

• The beating of the heart
• A person's emotions
• The sensation of pain
• The movement of the head

In order for a nerve impulse to begin, it must be initiated by a/an:

• Enzyme
• Catalyst
• Stimulus

• Cerebrum

What is the function of the choroid plexus?

• It helps in the formation of cerebrospinal fluid
• It provide oxygen
• Connects left and right brain
• Maintains balance

The body's "vital centers" are located in the medulla. Impulses from the medulla control:

• Reflex action
• Body temperature
• Cramp
• Heartbeat and blood pressure

What part of the nervous system is responsible for the body's "flight or fight" response?

• Sympathetic 
• Peripheral
• Parasympathetic
• Axon
