Central Nervous System and Brain Function

What is the main game of the central nervous system?

• Regulating body temperature

• Processing sensory information

• Coordinating conscious and unconscious activity

• Controlling muscle reflexes

Which part of the brain is responsible for coordinating muscular activity and relaying information between the body and the higher regions of the brain?

• Cerebrum

• Hippocampus

• Thalamus

• Brainstem

Which lobe of the brain is associated with muscle control, cognitive functions, and language comprehension?

• Temporal lobe

• Parietal lobe

• Occipital lobe

• Frontal lobe

What is the function of the midbrain in the brainstem?

• functions as a relay system, transmitting information necessary for vision and hearing. It also plays an important role in motor movement, pain, and the sleep/wake cycle

• Processing sensory information

• Regulating heart rate

• Coordinating muscle reflexes

Which part of the limbic system is responsible for regulating homeostasis, alertness, and reproductive activity?

• Thalamus

• Hippocampus

• Amygdala

• Epithalamus

What is the main function of the cerebral cortex in the cerebrum?

• Coordinating muscle activity

• Processing visual cues

• Regulating emotions

• Performing higher-level functions

What is the purpose of the corpus callosum in the brain?

• Processing sensory information

• Regulating heart rate

• Facilitating communication between the left and right hemispheres

• Coordinating muscle reflexes

Which part of the brain is responsible for processing auditory information and contains Wernicke’s area?

• Frontal lobe

• Parietal lobe

• Occipital lobe

• Temporal lobe

What is the function of the hypothalamus in the diencephalon?

• Performing higher-level functions

• Coordinating muscle activity

• Processing visual cues

• Regulating body temperature

Which part of the brain is responsible for regulating strong emotions like fear and is sometimes called the 'reptilian brain'?

• Hippocampus

• Epithalamus

• Thalamus

• Amygdala
