visual fiels
c. The sensation of\\pertaining to spatial position
and muscular activity stimuli originating from

Answer: C
From : AHN SG Lesson
14.1 question 1 and
AHN pg 661
2.
The name of this area of the brain means “bridge.” It is
the origin of cranial nerves V through VIII and is responsible
for sending impulses to the structures inferior and superior to
it. It also contains a respiratory center that complements the
part of the brain stem located inferior to it. It is called the
a.
b.
c.
d.
medulla oblongata.
diencephalon.
cerebellum.
pons.
ANS: D
The pons connects the midbrain to the medulla
oblongata. The word pons means “bridge.” It is
the origin of cranial nerves V and VIII.

3. A neuron consists of
a.
b.
c.
d.
Basal cell, dendrite and axon
Axon, meylon, Dendron
Dendrites, cell body, axon, and terminal buds
Tree like branches, the part that keeps it a live, a
snake like projection, and chemicals
3. ANS:D
The dendrites receive the message, the cell body keeps the neuron
alive, the axon tranports the electrical impulse to the terminal
buds which send the message on through the dispersal of
chemicals known as neural transmitters.

The four main parts of the brain are:
a.
Cerebellum, parietal, temporal, and
occipital
b. Cerebrum, corium, basal, and cecum
c.
Cerebrum, spine, ganglia, Areflexia
d. Pons, medulla, cecum, parietal
e. Cerebrum, diencephalon, cerebellum, and
the brain stem
4. ANS:E
The brain is one of the largest organs weighing in at almost 3
pounds and is divided into 4 principle parts: the cerebrum – the
largest part of the brain and is divided into left and right
hemispheres; the diencephalon – often called the interbrain- lies
beneath the cerebrum and contains the thalamus and
hypothalamus; the cerebellum is the second largest part of the
brain and is mainly responsible for voluntary movement and
balance , and the brain stem is located at the base on the brain and
contains the pons, medulla, and mid brain- this is the part that is
frequently referred to as our lizard brain and is the oldest part of
the brain.
