Brain Learning Check

What does the corpus callosum connect?

• The two hemispheres of the brain

• The brain to the spinal cord

• The frontal lobe to the parietal lobe

• The left hemisphere to the left side of the body

Where is the medulla located?

• Above the cerebellum

• Between the pons and the optic chiasm

• Right under the cerebellum

• Next to the pons

What is the function of the pons?

• It handles senses except for vision, hearing, and smell

• It interprets visual sensory messages

• It connects the medulla and the brainstem

• It produces important hormones

Where does the pituitary gland attach?

• Between the frontal and parietal lobes

• Between the pons and the optic chiasm

• Next to the medulla

• Under the cerebellum

What do ventricles contain?

• Cerebrospinal fluid

• Sensory information

• Hormones

• Nerve axons

What is the function of the occipital lobe?

• It helps us to move our muscles

• It receives and interprets visual sensory messages

• It is involved in hearing and smell

• It handles senses except for vision, hearing, and smell

Where is the temporal lobe located?

• Next to the pons

• Above the lateral fissure

• Below the lateral fissure

• Under the cerebellum

What is the role of the frontal lobe?

• It produces important hormones

• It helps us to smell and move our muscles

• It receives and interprets visual sensory messages

• It connects the medulla and the brainstem

What does the parietal lobe handle?

• Interpreting visual sensory messages

• Connecting the medulla and the brainstem

• Senses, except for vision, hearing, and smell

• Producing important hormones

What is the function of the thalamus?

• It produces cerebrospinal fluid

• It is a ‘relay station’ for sensory information

• It attaches to the brain between the pons and the optic chiasm

• It helps in muscle movement
