3.1 Practice - Brain anatomy & spinal reflexes

The left cerebral hemisphere generally controls the right side of the body and vice versa. This is _____________ organisation.

• Unilateral

• bilateral

• ipsilateral

• contralateral

If your temporal lobes were electrically stimulated, you would probably:

• hear sounds

• move parts of your body

• feel sensations in your skin

• see visual stimuli

What are the correct labels for this diagram? (starting top left and rotating anticlockwise)

• midbrain; hindbrain; cerebral cortex; brain stem; corpus callosum; forebrain; pons

• frontal lobe; parietal lobe; occipital lobe; temporal lobe; left hemisphere; right hemisphere; amygdala

• corpus callosum; cerebral cortex; thalamus; pons; optic nerve; central fissure; cerebellum

• cerebral cortex; thalamus; hypothalamus; pons; reticular formation; medulla; brain stem

Differentiate between the cerebrum and cerebellum.

• The cerebellum is part of the forebrain and coordinates body movement; the cerebrum is part of the hindbrain and is divided into the left and right hemispheres.
• The cerebrum is part of the forebrain and is divided into the left and right hemispheres; the cerebellum is part of the hindbrain and coordinates body movement.
• The cerebrum is part of the forebrain and is divided into the left and right hemispheres; the cerebellum covers the whole brain.
• The cerebrum is part of the hindbrain and is divided into the left and right hemispheres; the cerebellum covers the whole brain and coordinates body movement.

The __________ is referred to as the communication centre of the brain.

• amygdala
• thalamus
• hypothalamus
• corpus callosum

The type of spinal reflex shown in the image is a

• monosymaptic reflex arc

• bisynaptic reflex arc

• polysynaptic reflex arc

• simple reflex arc

What type of neuron is shown at A?

• motor neuron

• sensory neuron

• interneuron

• ganglion

People with damage to the area shown, may:

• lack foresight and will likely make mistakes in planning

• have difficulty recognising faces and paintings

• unable to perceive visual stimuli

• feel numbness in parts of their body

Identify the area in green.

• Premotor association area

• Primary motor cortex

• Prefrontal area

• Primary somatosensory cortex

Identify the area responsible for processing complex auditory information including speech and music

• Broca's Area

• Wernicke's Area

• Primary Auditory Cortex

• Auditory Association Area
