BIOD 152 MODULE 4 ASSESSMENT TEST 2026
TESTED QUESTIONS WITH FULL SOLUTION
GRADED A+
◉ Brainstem. Answer: medulla oblongata, pons, midbrain
◉ medulla oblongata. Answer: Part of the brainstem that controls
vital life-sustaining functions such as heartbeat, breathing, blood
pressure, and digestion; vasoconstriction, reflex centers for
vomiting, coughing, sneezing, hiccuping and swallowing, tracts that
ascend or descend between SC and brains higher centers
◉ vasoconstriction. Answer: the constriction of blood vessels, which
increases blood pressure.
◉ Pons. Answer: Contains axon bundles traveling between
cerebellum and rest of CNS; fx with medulla to regulate breathing
rate and has reflex centers concerned with head movements in
response to auditory and visual stimuli
◉ Midbrain. Answer: Acts as a relay center for tracts passing
between the cerebrum, SC or cerebellum; reflex-centers for higher
levl fxs involved in visual, auditory, and tactile responses.
, ◉ Superior and inferior colliculi. Answer: located at the rostral end
of the brainstem, control reflexes for head, neck in response to
sudden visual or auditory stimulus
◉ Diencephalon. Answer: thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus
maintains homeostasis, regulates basic body fx like hinger, sleep,
thirst, body temp, water balance, and BP
Controls pituitary gland by regulating hormones of endocrine
link between nervous and endocrine systems
◉ Thalamus. Answer: the brain's sensory switchboard, located on
top of the brainstem; it directs messages to the sensory receiving
areas in the cortex and transmits replies to the cerebellum and
medulla; filters out unimportant sensory info and directs it to
appropriate regions of cerebruum for interpretation.
◉ Epithalamus. Answer: contains the pineal gland (melatonin for
sleep-wake cycle)
◉ Cerebellum. Answer: Mini-Brain
