1. Why are a broad perspective and an interdisciplinary approach
/fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


required for understanding the brain? Choose the correct option.
/fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


A) Understanding the brain is a focused area in natural science with the /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


brain serving as the common point of focus.
/fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


B) Understanding the brain requires knowledge about manythings, from the bb /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


structure of the water molecule to the electrical and chemical
/fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


properties of the brain. /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


C) Understanding the brain requires the study of the different species of the /fgg /fgg / fg g /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


brain. /fgg


D) Understanding the brain requires the analysis of one approach at a time /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


to yield a new synthesis. /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg




2. Galen's study of sheep brains was the basis for a theory of brain
/fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


function that prevailed
/fgg /fgg /fgg


for almost 1500 years. Which of the following represents this view? Choose the
/fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


correct option.
/fgg /fgg


A) The heart as the center of intellect and the brain as the cooling system
/fgg /fgg / fg g /fgg / fg g /fgg /fgg /fgg / fg g /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


B) Localization of brain function in the cerebrum and cerebellum /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fg g / fgg / fg g /fgg


C) Mind–brain duality / fg g


D) Parceling the cerebrum into lobes /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg




3. What is ―mind–brain problem‖? Choose the correct option.
/fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


A) Individually, human mental capacities exist in the mind that is /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


outside the brain. /fgg /fgg /fgg


B) The mind is the same as the brain. / fgg /fgg / fg g /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg

4. What notion was displaced bythe concept of nerves being described
/fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


as wires? Choose the correct option.
/fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


A) Nerves are channels that communicate with the brain by the movement
/fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


of fluids. /fgg / fgg


B) Muscles can be twitched when nerves are stimulated electrically and the
/fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


brain itself may generate electricity.
/fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


C) Signals to the muscles causing movement use the same wires as those
/fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


that register sensations from the skin.
/fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


D) Nerves conduct electrical signals to and from the brain. /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg / fgg / fg g / fg g /fgg




5. The combined work of Bell and Magendie revealed a fundamental fact about
/fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


the spinal nerves. Choose the correct option.
/fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


A) Spinal nerves are myelinated. /fgg / fgg / fg g


B) Spinal nerves are bundles of sensoryand motor nerves, and in each
/fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


sensory and motor nerve fiber, transmission is strictly one-way.
/fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg


C) Spinal nerves are not hollow tubes carrying fluid. /fgg / fg g /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg /fgg
