CSDS 80 Brain Review

What are the lobes of the brain?

• cerebrum and cerebellum

• Broca's and Wernicke's areas

• frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital

• cortex and gyri

The central nervous system includes:

• the brain and spinal cord

• the brain and brain stem

• the cranial nerves

• the spinal nerves

There are two hemispheres in the brain.

• The right side of the brain controls the right side of the body

• The left side of the brain controls the left side of the body

• One hemisphere controls the central nervous system and the other side the peripheral nervous system

• Each hemisphere controls its opposite side of the body (right controls left and vice versa)

Broca's area is in which lobe of the brain?

• parietal

• occipital

• frontal

• temporal

Wernicke's area is in which lobe of the brain?

• temporal

• occipital

• frontal

• parietal

The cranial nerves play a direct role in speech production because they...

• are the main component of the cerebellum

• are part of the extrapyramidal system

• transmit sensory and motor impulses to and from the brain and head/neck

• are part of the pyramidal system

The nervous system has two parts. What are they?

• central and peripheral

• ganglia and basal ganglia

• cranial and peripheral nerves

• right and left

This part of the brain regulates and coordinates body movements, including the fine and complex movements of speech

• occipital lobe

• gyri

• brain stem

• cerebellum

The ditty "On old Olympus towering top a Fin and German viewed some hops." is a trick to remembering what?

• the names of the cranial nerves

• an old European folk song

• the functions of the brain

• the names of the sulci and gyri within the brain

What is the purpose of the brain stem?

• It regulates fight-or-flight response

• It serves as a quick pathway for the peripheral nervous sytsm

• It controls automatic vital systems, like heart rate and breathing

• It is a stalk that supports the brain
