Brain Structures

Which brain structure is responsible for producing and storing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)?

• Ventricles

• Cingulate Gyrus

• Thalamus

• Optic Chiasm

What is the main function of the thalamus?

• Processes information between the spinal cord, mid brain, and the cerebral cortex.

• It produces cerebrospinal fluid.

• It regulates thirst and hunger.

• It is called the "master gland."

Which structure is known as the "master gland" of the body?

• Pituitary Gland

• Thalamus

• Hypothalamus

• Optic Chiasm

What is the main role of the hypothalamus?

• Maintaining homeostasis in the body

• Producing cerebrospinal fluid

• Relaying sensory information

• Linking motivation to behavior

What happens at the optic chiasm?

• The right and left optic nerves cross.

• Cerebrospinal fluid is produced.

• Hormones are secreted.

• Motivation is linked to behavior.

What is the function of the cingulate gyrus?

• Processing emotion, learning, and memory formation

• Producing cerebrospinal fluid

• Regulating thirst and hunger

• Relaying sensory information

Which part of the brain has a great influence on linking motivation to behavioral outcomes?

• Cingulate Gyrus

• Optic Chiasm

• Ventricles

• Pituitary Gland

Which of the following is NOT a function of the hypothalamus?

• Producing cerebrospinal fluid

• Regulating thirst

• Controlling body temperature

• Releasing hormones to control the pituitary gland

What is the main function of the optic chiasm?

• It is where the right and left optic nerves cross.

• It produces hormones.

• It stores cerebrospinal fluid.

• It regulates hunger.

Which brain structure controls reflex patterns associated with vision and hearing?

• Midbrain

• Cerebrum

• Pineal gland

• Corpus callosum
