BIOD 152 MODULE 4 FINAL STUDY PAPER 2026
COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
◉ corpus callosum. Answer: A bridge of white nerve fibers that
connect cerebral hemispheres
◉ Cerebral cortex. Answer: outer region of the cerebrum, containing
sheets of nerve cells; gray matter of the brain
◉ Deep sulci. Answer: frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital
◉ Frontal sulci. Answer: controls higher level executive fx like
reasoning and decision making; controls motor fx and control over
voluntary muscle actions
◉ parietal lobe. Answer: A region of the cerebral cortex whose
functions include processing information about touch; receive
sensory info from receptors in mouth for taste and in skn four touch,
pain, and pressure.
◉ Occipital. Answer: interprets visual input
◉ Temporal. Answer: sensory areas for hearing and smelling
, ◉ Association areas. Answer: act mainly to integrate more than 1
type of sensory info for purposeful action
◉ Primary motor cortex. Answer: the section of the frontal lobe
responsible for voluntary movement
◉ Primary sensory cortex. Answer: regions of the cerebral cortex
that initially process information from the senses
◉ Broca's area. Answer: controls language expression - an area,
usually in the left frontal lobe, that directs the muscle movements
involved in speech; speech production
◉ Wernicke's Area. Answer: located in temporal lobe; speech
comprehension
◉ Conciousness. Answer: state of being awake/aware, located in the
cerebrum.
◉ Cerebrum controls:. Answer: Cerebrum controls activities of the
lower parts of the brain, can override functioning of lower parts of
brain (i.e. via biofeedback, meditation, etc.), initiates voluntary
motor activities and controls actions of cerebellum by acting on
sensory input via thalamus.
