The reticular theory
Postulates that brain functions are localized in specific brain areas
Was incorrect
Speculated that the brain was the seat of the soul
Is attributed to Theodor Schwann
The motor cortex consists of
The primary sensory and motor cortex

Chocolate
Swearing
None of these
Rubbing it better
What do excitatory neurotransmitters do to the likelihood of the postsynaptic neuron firing an action potential?
They increase the likelihood
They decrese the likelihood
They dont change the likelihood
They first decrease and then increase the likelihood
The myelin sheath serves to:
Speed up action potential propagation
Two of these answers are correct
Increase the size of the action potential

Cones
Ganglion cells
Bipolar cells
Rods
Photopigments
Amacrine cells
Which of the following statements is not true?
The frontal lobe has three regions
Some information from the visual cortexis projected to the temporal lobe
The primary somatosensory cortex is located near the primary motor cortex
Someone with Wernicke's aphasia has difficulties with the production of speech
Damage to the basal gangia is implicated with Huntington's disease
The amygdala
Is part of the hypothalamus
Produces hormones for sexual differentiation
Two of these answers are correct
Is involved in positive emotions such as laughter
Is involved in fear, anger and disgust
Axons carry
Information to the dendrites
Information to the nucleus
Information away from the glial cells
Information away from the cell body
The multipolar neuron consists off
3 axons extending from the soma and many dendrites
1 axon and many dendrites branching from the soma
1 axon and 1 dendrite branching from the cell body
1 axon extending from the soma and no dendrites
Which "type" of neuron receives messages from sensory organs and delivers them to the CNS?
Efferent neuron
Interneuron
Afferent neuron
Motorneuron
None of these answers are correct
Which of the following statements about the spinal cord is true?
Two of these answers are correct
It is part of the CNS
Only transports motor information to the muscles
It has a core of grey matter surrounded by white matter
Which lobe of the brain is involved in touch and sensation?
Frontal
Temporal
Parietal
None of these lobes
Which of the following statements about the autonomic nervous system is not true?
Sympathetic nervous system is fight or flight
None of these answers is true
Associated with involuntary control of body movement
Neurons are excitatory only
Which of the following is not true
ECT is a form of brain imaging
Galen believed in "animal spirits"
The cochlea is a snail-shaped structure of the middle ear
The intracellular fluid is on the inside of the neuron
Ions cross freely the membrane of a neuron at rest
There are 12 cranial nerves
The neuron membrane is a lipid bilayer
An action potential occurs when
Depolarization causes voltage-gated calcium channels to close
Depolarization causes voltage-gated sodium and potassium ion channels to open
Depolarization causes voltage-gated sodium channels to open and potassium channels to shut
Hyperpolarization causes voltage-gated sodium and potassium ion channels to open
