Neuroscience Quiz

What is the function of the dendrite?

• Sends messages to other neurons

• Controls reflexes and vital functions

• Takes impulses away from the soma

• Receives impulses from other neurons

Which part of the neuron contains the nucleus?

• Cell Body

• Axon

• Dendrite

• Axon Terminal

What is the function of the myelin sheath?

• Covers many axons and schwann cells helps speed neural impulses

• Relays sensory information to the cerebral cortex

• Provides resting functions such as digestion and urination

• Controls body movement and posture

Which lobe of the brain is responsible for vision?

• Frontal Lobe

• Parietal Lobe

• Temporal Lobe

• Occipital Lobe

What is the function of the pituitary gland?

• Controls reflexes and vital functions

• Relays sensory information to the cerebral cortex

• Master gland

• Provides resting functions such as digestion and urination
