ANP 1111 Final Exam Questions and
Answers Graded A+
What are the four subdivisions of the brain? - Correct answer-cerebrum,
diencephalon, brainstem, cerebellum
What is gray matter? - Correct answer-short, nonmyelinated neurons and cell
bodies, some is organized into nuclei.
What is white matter? - Correct answer-myelinated axons
How is gray and white matter organized in the spinal cord? - Correct answer-
Central cavity surround with gray matter in a butterfly shape, which is surround
with white matter
How is gray and white matter organized in the brain? - Correct answer-Central
cavity surrounded with gray matter. Some nuclei scattered. outside of cerebrum
and cerebellum is covered in gray matter. Rest is white matter.
What are ventricles? - Correct answer-Spaces in the brain filled with cerebral
spinal fluid and lined with ependymal cells

,What are the four ventricles of the brain? - Correct answer-two lateral ventricles,
third ventricle, fourth ventricle
What separates the two lateral ventricles? - Correct answer-septum pellucidum
Where is the third ventricle located? - Correct answer-diencephalon
Where is the fourth ventricle located? - Correct answer-between pons and
cerebellum
Where are the lateral ventricles located? - Correct answer-cerebral hemispheres
What connects the third and fourth ventricles? - Correct answer-cerebral aqueduct
What are the 3 apertures and what do they do? - Correct answer-2 Lateral apertures
& 1 median aperture connect the ventricles to the subarachnoid space
What are the lobes of the brain? - Correct answer-frontal, parietal, occipital,
temporal, insular
What separates gyri? - Correct answer-sulci
What separates the precentral and the postcentral gyrus? - Correct answer-The
Central Sulcus
What is the cerebral cortex and what does it do? - Correct answer-outer layer of the
cerebrum, responsible for conscious behaviour

,what are the functional areas of the cerebral cortex? - Correct answer-Motor,
Sensory & Association
How is the brain contralateral? - Correct answer-Each hemisphere of the brain
handles sensory & motor functions of the opposite side of the body
How is the brain lateralized? - Correct answer-Although the brain is symmetrical,
one side might do more than the other.
Where are the motor areas? - Correct answer-posterior part of the frontal lobe
Where is the primary motor cortex located? - Correct answer-precentral gyrus
What does the primary motor cortex do? - Correct answer-Responsible for the
control of skeletal muscles.
What muscles need the most precise motor control? - Correct answer-The face,
fingers and the hands
Where is the premotor cortex located? - Correct answer-anterior to primary motor
cortex
What does the premotor cortex do? - Correct answer-Helps plan movements by
selecting and sequencing basic motor movements into more complex tasks (e.g.
playing a musical instrument).

, What is Broca's area responsible for? - Correct answer-Preparation of speech. ->
Organizes the making of sounds that will be heard as words
What does the frontal eye field do? - Correct answer-controls voluntary eye
movements
Where is the primary somatosensory cortex? - Correct answer-postcentral gyrus
What does the primary somatosensory cortex do? - Correct answer-receives
sensory inputs from the skin, joints and muscles.
Important for proprioception
What is the somatosensory association cortex? - Correct answer--Posterior to the
primary somatosensory cortex
-Integrates sensory input and determines size, texture, and relationship of parts of
objects being felt
What is the primary visual cortex - Correct answer-receives and processes
incoming visual information
What is the visual association area? - Correct answer-interprets information
acquired through the primary visual cortex
Where is the primary visual cortex located? - Correct answer-posterior tip of
occipital lobe
