Exploring Human Brain Structure

What are the three main parts of the human brain?

• Frontal Lobe, Occipital Lobe, Temporal Lobe

• Cortex, Medulla, Hippocampus

• Thalamus, Hypothalamus, Amygdala

• Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Brainstem

What is the largest part of the human brain called?

• Cerebellum

• Brainstem

• Cerebrum

• Thalamus

Which part of the brain is associated with higher brain functions such as thought and action?

• Brainstem

• Thalamus

• Cerebral cortex

• Cerebellum

What is the surface of the cerebrum made up of?

• Cerebrospinal fluid

• Neurons

• White matter

• Gray matter

How many layers does the neocortex have?

• 4

• 8

• 10

• 6

What are the four lobes of the cerebrum?

• frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe

• brainstem

• cerebellum

• hippocampus

Where is the frontal lobe located in relation to the forehead?

• The frontal lobe is located at the back of the head.

• The frontal lobe is located above the forehead.

• The frontal lobe is located below the forehead.

• The frontal lobe is located directly behind the forehead.

What functions are associated with the frontal lobe?

• Sensory processing and memory storage

• Language comprehension and production

• Visual perception and spatial awareness

• Decision making, problem solving, planning, emotional regulation, motor function, behavior control, reasoning, and judgment.

What type of nerve fibers are found beneath the gray surface of the cerebrum?

• Motor nerve fibers

• Unmyelinated nerve fibers

• Sensory nerve fibers

• Myelinated nerve fibers (white matter)

What is the significance of the wrinkled surface of the cerebrum?

• The wrinkled surface of the cerebrum increases surface area for neurons, enhancing cognitive functions.

• It is primarily responsible for regulating body temperature.

• It serves as a protective layer against injuries.

• It reduces the amount of blood flow to the brain.
