NU670 EXAMINATION TEST 2026 QUESTIONS
WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
◉ pons. Answer: regulate sleep, respiration, swallowing, bladder
control, hearing, equilibrium, taste, eye movement, facial expressions,
facial sensation, posture
◉ medulla oblongata (Myelencephalon). Answer: regulates autonomic,
involuntary functions through vasomotor centers
ie. breathing, HR, BP
◉ Midbrain (mesencephalon). Answer: impacts motor control,
sleep/wake cycles, alertness, vision, hearing, temperature regulation
◉ brainstem. Answer: controls innate and automatic self preserving
behavior patterns
AKA primal brain, reptilian brain, trunk of the brain
Consists of pons, medulla, and midbrain
,◉ fissures and sulci. Answer: increase surface area of the brain
◉ sulci. Answer: small grooves
◉ fissures. Answer: large grooves
◉ gyri. Answer: ridges or bulges between the grooves
◉ cerebellum. Answer: Control and coordination
balance and equilibrium
cognition
emotion and perceptual functions
fine motor coordination
impulse control
language
memory
motor learning
posture
MOTOR system
no motor commands initiated in cerebellum, but commands are modified
and adapted
, obtains info from the balance systems (Inner ear, sensory nerves,
auditory and visual systems)
◉ Cerebrum. Answer: frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes
◉ grey matter. Answer: high concentration of neuronal cell bodies that
contain genes
responsibile for metabolism and synthesizing proteins
thought processes
◉ white matter. Answer: myelin - protects neurons
◉ loss of either grey or white matter. Answer: deficits in language,
memory, reasoning, etc
◉ Temporal lobe. Answer: process auditory input into emotional context
comprehension of meaningful sounds and language
memory
◉ Parietal lobe. Answer: sensory info processed
integrates touch, taste, pain, pressure, temperature, spatial awareness,
language processing
