22-23 Physio - Senses and Nervous System Exam

Which lobe of the brain deals with integrating sensory information, as well as the sense of touch?

• Frontal
• Parietal
• Occipital
• Temporal

What is the function of the Pons?

• Bridge connecting cerebellum to brain stem, as well as voluntary motor control
• Fine-tunes motor activity based on prior information, regulates fear/pleasure centers
• Autonomic functions
• Relay and processing center for sensory information

What allows increased surface area of the brain?

• Corpus Callosum
• Pineal Gland
• Gyri and Sulci
• Hypothalamus

The image has a circled structure which is the thalamus. What is directly to the right of this thalamus?

• Hypothalamus

• Pineal Gland

• Pituitary Gland

• Corpus Callosum

Using the image, which highlighted color represents the structure that regulates consciousness, sleep, and alertness by being a final relay point for sensory info?

• blue/purple

• green

• yellow

• red

The brain stem is made up of 3 divisions. Which division does NOT belong?

• Pons

• Medulla Oblongata

• Midbrain

• Diencephalon

Which sulcus would divide the frontal lobe and temporal lobe?

• central sulcus

• lateral sulcus

• parieto-occipital sulcus

• temporal sulcus

Removing this brain division would result in your motor actions being less precise and accurate.

• Cerebellum

• Medulla Oblongata

• Pituitary Gland

• Hypothalamus

In the image, the highlighted structure is the pons. Relative to the pons, which direction is the structure responsible for autonomic functions?

• left

• right

• above

• all 3 other answers combined

You are a highly intelligent human (and beautiful and unique snowflower) that can reason, speak, and remember things. Comparing your cerebrum to an animal that cannot do those things well, your ___ lobe is much larger.

• Frontal

• Parietal

• Occipital

• Temporal
