What part of the brain is in charge of aggression, disgust, and fear?

• Cerebellum

• Amygdala

• Pituitary Gland

• Parietal Lobe

In the diagram, which of the parts of the Neuron would be the first to receive information from a neighboring neuron?

• Axon

• Synapse

• Soma

• Dendrite

This Lobe is in charge of heading auditory messages and comprehending them so they make sense. Damage to this part of the brain could lead to hearing loss or difficulty understanding verbal conversations.

• Temporal Lobe

• Frontal Lobe

• Occipital Lobe

• Parietal Lobe

This brain scan is a little bit clearer than an x-ray, but does not expose you to unnecessary radiation.

• EEG

• CT Scan

• fMRI

• PET Scan

Which part of a Neuron is considered the "body" of the cell, controlling all parts of its functions?

• Soma

• Axon Terminals

• Myelin Sheath

• Nucleus

Alcohol would be an example of a....

• Stimulant

• Depressant

• Hallucinogen

If a person was under the influence of alcohol and was experiencing impairment in their balance, which part of the brain is most likely affected?

• Hippocampus

• Medulla

• Cerebellum

• Thyroid

Point A is indicating which part of the Neuron?

• The Myelin Sheath, where the axon is protected

• The Synapse, where neurons connect to other neighboring neurons

• Neurotransmitters, which are chemical messages sent from the brain

• Dendrites that are translating info to the Soma of the cell

Marijuana would be an example of a....

• Stimulant

• Depressant

• Hallucinogen

This Lobe is in charge of understanding the information received from your 5 senses, including pain, temperature. If you were to damage this part of your brain, you might experience permanent numbness/tingling in your hands or face.

• Frontal Lobe

• Temporal Lobe

• Parietal Lobe

• Occipital Lobe
