HUBS1406 - Nervous system

Question 1

The largest part of the brain, the cerebrum has two hemispheres (or halves). The cerebrum controls voluntary movement, speech, intelligence, memory, emotion, and sensory processing.

Answer

true

Question 2

Brain Stem - At the base of the brain, the brain stem connects to the spinal cord and is made up of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata.

Answer

true

Question 3

The midbrain acts like a complex switchboard, allowing the brain to communicate with the rest of the nervous system. It is located at the top of the brain stem.

Answer

true

Question 4

The pons relay messages from the cerebrum to the cerebellum and spinal cord. It is located in the centre of the brain stem.

Answer

true

Question 5

Medulla Oblongata - This portion of the brain stem is located just above the spinal cord. It regulates vital functions, such as heartbeat and breathing.

Answer

true

Question 6

Thalamus - Located in the central part of the brain, the thalamus processes and coordinates sensory messages, such as touch, received from the body.

Answer

true

Question 7

Hypothalamus - The hypothalamus regulates functions like thirst, appetite, and sleep patterns. It also regulates the release of hormones from the pituitary gland. It is located above the brain stem.

Answer

true

Question 8

Pituitary Gland - This tiny gland produces hormones involved in regulating growth, puberty, metabolism, water and mineral balance, the body's response to stress, and more.

Answer

true

Question 9

Cerebellum - The cerebellum helps coordinate and fine-tune movement and balance.

Answer

true

Question 10

A part of the peripheral nervous system called the autonomic nervous system is responsible for controlling many of the body processes we almost never need to think about, like breathing, digestion, sweating, and shivering. The autonomic nervous system has two parts: the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous systems.

Answer

true

Question 11

The sympathetic nervous system activates what is often termed the fight or flight response.

Answer

true

Question 12

Sometimes called the rest and digest system, the parasympathetic system conserves energy as it slows the heart rate, increases intestinal and gland activity, and relaxes sphincter muscles in the gastrointestinal tract.

Answer

true

Question 13

All neurones have finger-like projections called dendrites and a long fibre called an axon.
