1. Which structure connects the two cerebral hemispheres?
A. Internal capsule
B. Anterior commissure
C. Corpus callosum
D. Fornix
Rationale: The corpus callosum is the largest commissural fiber
bundle connecting the left and right cerebral hemispheres.
2. The primary motor cortex is located in which gyrus?
A. Postcentral gyrus
B. Precentral gyrus
C. Cingulate gyrus
D. Angular gyrus
Rationale: The precentral gyrus of the frontal lobe contains the
primary motor cortex responsible for voluntary movement.
3. Which lobe of the brain is primarily responsible for vision?
A. Occipital lobe
B. Temporal lobe
C. Parietal lobe
,D. Frontal lobe
Rationale: The occipital lobe contains the primary visual cortex.
4. Damage to Broca’s area results in:
A. Expressive aphasia
B. Receptive aphasia
C. Hemianopia
D. Ataxia
Rationale: Broca’s area controls speech production; damage leads
to impaired speech expression.
5. Which cranial nerve is responsible for facial expression?
A. Trigeminal nerve (V)
B. Facial nerve (VII)
C. Glossopharyngeal nerve (IX)
D. Hypoglossal nerve (XII)
Rationale: The facial nerve innervates muscles of facial expression.
6. The cerebellum primarily functions to:
A. Initiate voluntary movement
B. Coordinate movement and balance
C. Regulate temperature
D. Control speech comprehension
Rationale: The cerebellum fine-tunes motor activity and maintains
balance and posture.
7. Which ventricle is located between the two thalami?
A. Lateral ventricle
B. Third ventricle
C. Fourth ventricle
D. Central canal
Rationale: The third ventricle lies in the midline between the
thalami.
, 8. The brainstem includes all EXCEPT which structure?
A. Midbrain
B. Pons
C. Thalamus
D. Medulla oblongata
Rationale: The thalamus is part of the diencephalon, not the
brainstem.
9. Which artery supplies the lateral surface of the cerebral
hemisphere?
A. Anterior cerebral artery
B. Middle cerebral artery
C. Posterior cerebral artery
D. Basilar artery
Rationale: The middle cerebral artery supplies most of the lateral
cerebral cortex.
10. The primary somatosensory cortex is located in the:
A. Postcentral gyrus
B. Precentral gyrus
C. Superior temporal gyrus
D. Insula
Rationale: The postcentral gyrus receives sensory input from the
body.
11. Which structure is responsible for memory formation?
A. Hippocampus
B. Amygdala
C. Caudate nucleus
D. Putamen
Rationale: The hippocampus plays a critical role in forming new
memories.
