Question 1 qa




A first- qa




year medical student is identifying surface landmarks on a cadaveric brain. She identifies a pro
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa




minent deep groove that separates the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe. Which of the fol lowin
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa




g is the correct name for this landmark?
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa




A. Lateral sulcus qa




B. Central sulcus qa




C. Parieto-occipital sulcus q a




D. Calcarine sulcus qa




Correct Answer: B WQ qa




Explanation: Correct option: The central sulcus (of Rolando) is the major landmark that s ep
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa




arates the frontal lobe anteriorly from the parietal lobe posteriorly. Distractors: The later al sul
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa




cus separates the temporal lobe from the frontal and parietal lobes. The
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa




parieto-
occipital sulcus separates the parietal and occipital lobes. The calcarine sulcus is located on the
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa




medial surface of the occipital lobe.
qa qa qa qa qa qa




Question 2 qa




The primary auditory cortex is essential for the perception of sound. In which specific anatom ica
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa




l location is this functional area found?
qa qa qa qa qa qa




A. Superior frontal gyrus qa qa




B. Postcentral gyrus qa




C. Transverse temporal gyri (of Heschl) qa qa qa qa




D. Angular gyrus qa




Correct Answer: C WQ qa




Explanation: Correct option: The primary auditory cortex (Brodmann areas 41 and 42) is l oc
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa




ated on the transverse temporal gyri of Heschl, which are found on the superior surface of the t
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa




emporal lobe. Distractors: The superior frontal gyrus is involved in motor and executive functi
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa




ons. The postcentral gyrus is the primary somatosensory cortex. The angular gyrus is involved i
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa




n language processing (part of Wernicke’s area).
qa qa qa qa qa qa




Question 3 qa




The corpus callosum is the largest commissural pathway in the brain. Which of the following re
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa




presents the most posterior portion of this structure? qa qa qa qa qa qa qa




A. Genu

, B. Rostrum

C. Body

D. Splenium

Correct Answer: D WQ qa




Explanation: Correct option: The splenium is the thickened posterior end of the corpus cal losu
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa




m. Distractors: The rostrum is the anterior-
qa qa qa qa qa qa




inferior portion. The genu is the anterior "bend." The body (trunk) is the large middle segmen t.

Question 4 qa




During a neuroanatomy lab, a student reflects the frontal, parietal, and temporal opercula. W hi
qa qa qa qa qa WQ qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa




ch lobe of the brain is hidden deep within the lateral sulcus?
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa




A. Limbic lobe qa




B. Insular lobe (Insula) qa qa




C. Occipital lobe qa




D. Diencephalon

Correct Answer: B WQ qa




Explanation: Correct option: The insula lies deep within the lateral sulcus and is covered by
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa q




the overgrowth of the surrounding frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes (the opercula). Distrac
a qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa




tors: The limbic lobe is found on the medial surface of the hemisphere. The occipita l lobe is at
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa




the posterior pole. The diencephalon is a deep core structure, not a lobe of the cerebral cortex

Question 5 qa




A neuroanatomist is examining the ventral surface of the brainstem. He notes a pair of pro mi
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa




nent longitudinal bundles on the ventral aspect of the medulla oblongata. What are these struc
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa




tures called? qa




A. Cerebral peduncles qa




B. Pyramids

C. Olive

D. Superior colliculi qa




Correct Answer: B qa qa




Explanation: Correct option: The pyramids are two longitudinal ridges on the ventral surfa ce
qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa qa q




of the medulla containing the corticospinal tracts. Distractors: Cerebral peduncles
