Anatomy & Physiology II – Bio 152
Module 2 Practice Exam
1. This is the most superficial layer of the brain meninges. 3
pts
Dura Mater (menix)
OR
This is the innermost, deep layer of the brain meninges,
tightly attached to the brain. Pia Mater (menix)
OR
The ______ space is beneath the arachnoid meninx (middle
layer under the subdural space), containing blood vessels
and is filled with CSF.
Subarachnoid
2. The ________ fissure separates the cerebrum from the
cerebellum. 3 pts
Transverse
OR
The _______ fissure separates the left and right cerebral
hemispheres.
Median Longitudinal
3. Describe the function of the brain ventricles. 4 pts
There are four ventricles inside the brain, which are cavities
filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CSF is formed in the
walls of the ventricles, and circulates through the ventricles
and into the subarachnoid space. It cushions the brain and
spinal cord by providing buoyancy, bathing the brain in fluid,
and allowing it to “float.”
4. All of the following are functions of the hypothalamus
except: 2 pts
A. Maintain homeostasis
B. Controls the pituitary gland
C. Links the nervous and endocrine systems

D. Relays sensory impulses to the cerebrum.
No (Thalamus, receives all sensory signals, except sense
of smell, and relays them to the cerebrum.)
5. What is the largest portion of the brain? 2 pts
Cerebellum
Cerebrum
Corpus Collosum
Cingulate Gyrus
6. This part of the brain acts to coordinate multiple sources of
sensory information. 2 pts
Primary Sensory Cortex (receives/sends only ONE type of
sensory info)
Primary Motor Cortex (receives/sends only ONE type of
motor info)
Association area
Precentral gyrus
Postcentral gyrus
7. A patient is having difficulty understanding language but is
still able to speak fluently. The patient’s dermatomes are
intact. Which area of the brain is most likely damaged? 2
pts
Broca’s Area (responsible for Speech Production – Frontal
Lobe)
Wernicke’s area (responsible for Speech Comprehension -
Temporal Lobe)
Occipital Lobe (visual input)
Parietal Lobe (mouth and taste, skin for touch, pressure and
pain)
Primary Sensory Cortex (in parietal lobe?)
OR – Temporal Lobe (hearing and smelling)
