Central nervous sytem

The term ventricle is also a

• Furrow

• Hollow fluid-filled space

• Group of axons in the CNS

• Deep groove

• Elevated ridge of tissue

Postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe controls​ (a)  

• Sensory functions
• Motor functions
• Visual sensation
• Smell
• Speech

The cerebral cortex is composed of ​ (a)  

• gray matter
• white matter

The ​ (a)   is involved with intellect, complex learning abilities (called cognition), recall, and personality

• Anterior association area
• Posterior association area
• Visual association area
• Limbic association area

The anterior association area is also called the prefrontal cortex

• True

• False

Damage to the left primary motor cortex may cause what symptoms

• Paralysis of voluntary muscle control on the right side of the body

• Loss of programmed or planned motor skills

• Paralysis of voluntary muscle control on the left side of the body

• Reflexive contraction of muscle

In most people, the ______ dominates the task of language

• left hemisphere

• right hemisphere

Aqueductal stenosis is a condition where the cerebral aquaduct is blocked. Aqueductal stenosis would prevent the flow of cerebrospinal fluid between

• the lateral ventricles

• the fourth ventricle and the spinal cord

• the lateral ventricles and the third ventricle

• the third ventricle and the fourth ventricle

All of the structures of the CNS originate from the​ (a)  

• neural tube
• cerebellum
• telencephalon
• hindbrain

Match the area of the brain with the appropriate function: Reticular formation

• Includes prefrontal cortex, posterior association areas, and limbic association area

• Integrates sensory information and memories with emotional response

• Keeps the cerebral cortex alert and conscious and enhances its excitability

• Provides precise timing and appropriate patterns of skeletal muscle contraction, allowing smooth, coordinated movements and agility
