Question 1 WQ




A first-
WQ




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




prominent deep groove that separates the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe. Which of the fol
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ




lowing is the correct name for this landmark?
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ




A. Lateral sulcus WQ




B. Central sulcus WQ




C. Parieto-occipital sulcus W Q




D. Calcarine sulcus WQ




Correct Answer: B WQ WQ




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




eparates the frontal lobe anteriorly from the parietal lobe posteriorly. Distractors: The later
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ




al sulcus separates the temporal lobe from the frontal and parietal lobes. The
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ




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




the medial surface of the occipital lobe.
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ




Question 2 WQ




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




ical location is this functional area found?
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ




A. Superior frontal gyrus WQ WQ




B. Postcentral gyrus WQ




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




D. Angular gyrus WQ




Correct Answer: C WQ WQ




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




ocated on the transverse temporal gyri of Heschl, which are found on the superior surface of
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ




the temporal lobe. Distractors: The superior frontal gyrus is involved in motor and executive
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ




functions. The postcentral gyrus is the primary somatosensory cortex. The angular gyrus is
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ




involved in language processing (part of Wernicke’s area).
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ




Question 3 WQ




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




represents the most posterior portion of this structure?
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ




A. Genu

, B. Rostrum

C. Body

D. Splenium

Correct Answer: D WQ WQ




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




losum. Distractors: The rostrum is the anterior-
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ




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




t.

Question 4 WQ




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




hich lobe of the brain is hidden deep within the lateral sulcus?
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ




A. Limbic lobe WQ




B. Insular lobe (Insula) WQ WQ




C. Occipital lobe WQ




D. Diencephalon

Correct Answer: B WQ WQ




Explanation: Correct option: The insula lies deep within the lateral sulcus and is covered
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ




by the overgrowth of the surrounding frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes (the opercula).
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ




Distractors: The limbic lobe is found on the medial surface of the hemisphere. The occipita
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ




l lobe is at the posterior pole. The diencephalon is a deep core structure, not a lobe of the
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ




cerebral cortex. WQ




Question 5 WQ




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




minent longitudinal bundles on the ventral aspect of the medulla oblongata. What are these
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ




structures called? WQ




A. Cerebral peduncles WQ




B. Pyramids

C. Olive

D. Superior colliculi WQ




Correct Answer: B WQ WQ




Explanation: Correct option: The pyramids are two longitudinal ridges on the ventral surfa
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ




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