Answer
  • True
  • False

  • False

Question 39

Question
Pons ("bridge") are axons from each brain hemisphere cross to the opposite side of the spinal cord
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 40

Question
The Cerebellum ("little brain") coordinates movement - fine motor skills (e.g., writing, typing) and other higher order processes e.g., auditory to visual attention switching and timing, affected by alcohol (nose touch test), damage causes cerebellar dysfunction
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 41

Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 42

Question
The Tegmentum ("covering") within the Midbrain contains Substantia nigra "black substance", facilitates readiness for movement and degeneration
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 43

Question
The Forebrain contains two hemispheres (left and right), receives sensory information (contralateral), controls muscles (contralateral)
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 44

Question
The Thalamus is a two lobed structure, superior to the brainstem, responsible for relaying sensory information (expect olfactory)
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 45

Question
The information between the thalamus and the cerebral cortex is called a thalamocortical loop
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 46

Question
The Hypothalamus is ventral to the thalamus, affects the pituitary gland's release of hormones, in turn affects a range of behaviours i.e., eating drinking, temperature regulation, sexual behaviour, fighting and activity level
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 47

Question
The Pituitary gland is an endocrine gland (produces hormones), attached to the base of the hypothalamus, in response to signals from the hypothalamus, produces hormones that are carried via the blood stream to the organs in the body
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 48

Question
Basal ganglia are groups of structures lateral to the thalamus i.e., Caudate nucleus, Putamen, Globus pallidus; mainly involved in voluntary movement, damage impairs movement (e.g., Parkinson's and Huntington's disease)
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 49

Question
Basal forebrain are collection of structures on the ventral surface of the forebrain, including nucleus basalis; involved in arousal and the sleep-wake cycle, linked to cognitive decline and degeneration in Alzheimer's disease
