Neurology: The Brain

This is for the neurology quiz on wednesday. This is for the neurology quiz on wednesday. This is for the neurology quiz on wednesday. Do you know all about the Brain?? If you dont get out your notes and cheat on this quiz because I made the questions straight from the handout.

Its only on the brain. And not all of it. Its hard making a quiz :(Its only on the brain. And not all of it. Its hard making a quiz :(Its only on the brain. And not all of it. Its hard making a quiz :(Its only on the brain. And not all of it. Its hard making a quiz :(

What is your age?
Under 18 Years Old
18 to 24 Years Old
25 to 30 Years Old
31 to 40 Years Old
41 to 50 Years Old
51 to 60 Years Old
Over 60 Years Old
What is your gender?
Male
Female
1. The Brain Stem:
Contain vital refelex centers for coordinating functions such as respiration and heartbeat
Is made up of the medulla oblongata, the pons, and the midbrain
Has vital sensory and motor tracts funneling through it
All of the above
2. The white matter of the medulla oblongata:
coordinate vital organ functions
relay proprioceptive data from upper extremeties to the thalamus
are mostly motor/ sensort tracts going to and from periphery and upper brain centers
carry motor planning data from the cerebral cortex into the cerebellum
3. What projects from the posterior surface of the medulla and connects with the cerebellum, carrying proprioceptive input?
Inferior cerebellar peduncles
Substansia Nigra
Cerebral peduncles
Pneumotaxix center
4. The Medullary Rhythmicity Center:
Has Fibers that synapse with lotor motor neurons in the AGH that gives rise to the phrenic nerve
controls basic rate and depth of breathing
controls vasodilation and vasoconstriction via the sympathetic NS
A & B
5. What rellays proprioceptive data from the lower extremeties to the thalamus?
Nucleus Gracilis
Nucleus Cuneatus
Vasomotor Center
Pontine Nuclei
6. Where do we find the nuclei for cranial nerves 5-7 and the upper half of the nucleus of cranial nerve 8?
White Matter of the Pons
White Matter of the Midbrain
Grey Matter of the Pons
Grey Matter of The Medulla
7. What is the relay center for motor planning data coming from the cerebrum and passing through the middle cerebellar peduncles into the pons?
Pontine Nuclei
Pnemotaxic Center
Apneustic Center
Substansia Nigra
8. The White Matter of the midbrain DOES NOT have:
pyramidal, extrapyramidal, and sensory tracts
cerebral peduncles
superior cerebellar peduncles
inferior cerebellar peduncles
9. Superior cerebellar peduncles project from the cerebellum to the midbrain, they also:
carry motor correction data from the cerebellum back to the motor area of the cerebral cortex
stimulate the diaphragm producing active inhalation
act as a point of origin for the extrapyramidal rubrospinal tracts
Regulate the basal nuclei
10. What releases dopamine and regulates the basal nuclei?
Superior colliculi
Inferior colliculi
Substantia nigra
Red Nuclei
11. Where is the lateral geniculate nucleus located and what does it do?
In the white matter of the thalamus and helps regulate physical changes due to emotonal stimuli
In the Grey matter of th thalamus and relays nerve impulses from the optic nerve to the visual region of the cerebral cortex
In the grey matter of the hypothalamus and releases oxytocin into the blood
Its located in the garbage where the rest of this quiz belongs
12. The Thalamus are 2 egg shaped structures made up of mostly grey matter. Its function is:
Helps Maintain Conciousness
Acts as a relay center for all sensory information except olfaction
Edits sensory information ascending to the cortex
All of the Above
13. Which gland is attached to the hypothalamus via the infundibulum
adrenal
pituitary
thyroid
hyoid
14. The hypoythalamus is great because it:
Releases ADH, and Oxytocin
A & C
Contains drive centers that motivate basic behaviors such as eating, basic emotions and thirst
controls skeletal muscle during coarse movement
15. Because The Hypothalamus has no blood brain barrier it can
monitor glucose, pH and electrolyte levels
control cardiac and respiratory motor activity
beat the thalamus in a sword fight
filters sensory input
16. The Limbic System is commonly refered to as the
Emotional Brain
Active Brain
Sympathetic Brain
Parasympathetic Brain
17. The Limbic System includes structures called:
Hippocampus
Amygdala
Gyrum cortex
A & B
18. The Largest part of the brain is
The Cerebellum
The Cerebrum
The Diencephelon
The Midbrain
19. The Cerebrum is composed of
Deep nuclei, white matter tracts and the cerebral cortex
a jelly like substance called gyri
The medulla, pons and midbrain
A&B
20. The deep nuclei of the Cerebrum are:
the basal nuclei and other gray areas such as the nuclei making up the limbic system
also known as "the red the black and the twins in the back"
large bundles of white matter linking various functional areas
a small white matter region of the cerebrum
21. What is Huntington's disease caused by?
Failure of the substantia nigra to inhibit the basal nuclei
damage to basal nuclei
demonic possesion
