Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta 1

Pregunta
Regarding the function of the cerebral hemispheres:
Respuesta
  • the parietal lobes are involved in pain perceptions
  • the frontal areas are involved in auditory perception
  • damage to the temporal lobes can cause failure of object recognition
  • the right parietal lobe is important for speech comprehension
  • a, and b

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
Regarding speech:
Respuesta
  • In left-handed people the faculty of speech is mainly located in the right hemisphere
  • Individuals affected by Broca’s aphasia are able to speak only with difficulty
  • In right-handed people the faculty of speech is mainly located in the left hemisphere
  • An individual with Broca’s aphasia will have paralysis of the lips and tongue
  • Wernike’s aphasia results from damage to the frontal speech area

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
Regarding the electroencephalogram (EEG):
Respuesta
  • the normal EEG of an awake person is dominated by alpha waves
  • during deep sleep the EEG is always dominated by delta waves
  • the presence of theta waves in the EEG of an awake child is indicative of cerebral pathology
  • the EEG can be used to monitor the bioelectrical activity of the brain
  • none of the above

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
Regarding sleep:
Respuesta
  • reflects the intrinsic circadian rhythm of the brain
  • slow wave sleep is associated with rapid eye movements
  • young adults need less sleep than elderly individuals
  • during normal sleep the secretion of growth hormone is decreased
  • women need less sleep than men

Pregunta 13

Pregunta
The Renshaw cells:
Respuesta
  • receive recurrent collaterals from motor neurons and inhibit other motor neurons in the vicinity
  • represent the inhibitory system of cerebellum
  • are a major component of muscle spindle
  • are present in retina
  • are present in the basal ganglia

Pregunta 14

Pregunta
Promoter cortex refers to:
Respuesta
  • some areas anterior to primary motor cortex causing complex coordinate movements like speech, eye movements
  • an area of motor cortex responsible for voluntary movements
  • an area in temporal cortex
  • an area of cerebellum
  • c and d

  • gustation
  • feeding behaviour
  • sexual behaviour
  • vision

Pregunta 16

Pregunta
REM is:
Respuesta
  • characterized by delta waves on EEG
  • a sound and dreamless sleep
  • characterized by total lack of muscular activity
  • referred to as paradoxical sleep
  • characterized by alpha waves on ECG

Pregunta 17

Pregunta
Sleep deprivation:
Respuesta
  • can cause psychotic episodes
  • is associated with sluggishness of thoughts
  • makes a person more alert
  • has no effect on the individual
  • can cause reduction in arterial pressure

Pregunta
The basal ganglia are primarily concerned with:
Respuesta
  • sensory integration
  • short term memory

  • dorsomedial
  • suprachiasmatic
  • supraoptic
  • paraventricular

Pregunta 22

Pregunta
Human circadian (24-hour) rhythms:
Respuesta
  • are triggered totally by external (exogenous) factors
  • depend more on the integrity of the cerebral cortex than of the hypothalamus
  • adapt within 48 hours on changing from day to night shift work
  • for melatonin secretion produce high night-time and low day-time levels of the hormone
  • for the eosinophil count produce peak values around midday
