Central Nervous System Functions and Structures Quiz

The angular gyrus is a key region in the brain involved in language and numerical processing. The hippocampus is mainly associated with memory, the cerebellum with motor control, and the insula with cognitive functions related to processing emotions and body representations.

The correct name for this anatomical structure is the anterior ramus of lateral sulcus, which plays a vital role in neural communication and signal transmission within the brain.

The central sulcus, also known as the fissure of Rolando, separates the frontal and parietal lobes of the brain. The lateral sulcus separates the temporal lobe from the frontal and parietal lobes. The postcentral sulcus is located parallel to the central sulcus and marks the primary somatosensory cortex. The sylvian fissure, also known as the lateral sulcus, separates the temporal lobe from the frontal and parietal lobes.

The inferior frontal gyrus is responsible for language production, while the cerebellum, occipital lobe, and hippocampus are not primarily involved in language production.

The correct answer is the inferior temporal gyrus, which is known for its role in visual object recognition and has been associated with face recognition and object categorization. The other options do not play a major role in visual object recognition.

The correct answer is the inferior temporal gyrus, a region in the brain responsible for visual recognition. The occipital lobe primarily processes visual information, the prefrontal cortex is involved in complex cognitive behavior and personality expression, and the amygdala plays a role in processing emotions.

The insula is a portion of the cerebral cortex, often referred to as the 'insula'. The other options mentioned do not specifically refer to the same brain structure.

The correct name for a star is Limen Insula, while the other options are incorrect or translations into Latin that do not correspond to the specific term for a star.

The correct answer refers to the specific long gyri found in the insula region of the brain.

The middle frontal gyrus is located in the frontal lobe of the brain and is responsible for various executive functions. The amygdala is associated with emotions, the medulla oblongata controls involuntary functions like heartbeat and breathing, and the cerebellum plays a role in motor control and coordination.

The postcentral gyrus is also known as the primary somatosensory area, responsible for processing sensory information such as touch, temperature, and pain.

The precentral gyrus is responsible for housing the primary motor area, which is involved in the initiation and coordination of voluntary movements.

The insula is a region of the cerebral cortex located deep within the lateral sulcus. It is known for its short gyri that contribute to its unique appearance and function.

The superior frontal gyrus is a region of the brain responsible for executive functions, such as decision-making, planning, and problem-solving. It is often referred to as the 'CEO' or 'Control Panel' of the brain.

The superior temporal sulcus is a brain structure known for its role in processing social cues and facial expressions, making it crucial for social interactions and communication. The primary motor cortex is responsible for controlling voluntary movements, the cerebellum is involved in coordination and balance, and the olfactory bulb is responsible for processing smell signals.

The Supramarginal Gyrus is responsible for processing visual information and is located above the lateral sulcus in the parietal lobe.

The name 'temporal operculum' refers to a specific part of the brain that is responsible for various functions such as language processing and auditory perception.

The triangular part of the inferior frontal gyrus is also known as the Pars triangularis, which is involved in language processing and is a key component of Broca's area.

The central sulcus, also known as the Rolandic fissure, is a prominent landmark in the brain that separates the frontal and parietal lobes. The lateral sulcus separates the frontal and temporal lobes, the sagittal suture is the line where the parietal bones of the skull meet, and Broca's area is a specific region in the frontal lobe associated with speech production.

The lateral sulcus is also known as the Sylvian fissure due to its location in the brain.

The superior parietal lobule is involved in processing sensory information and spatial orientation, while the temporal lobe is primarily responsible for memory and language processing, the cerebellum is involved in motor control and coordination, and the occipital lobe is responsible for visual processing.

The longitudinal fissure separates the two hemispheres of the brain along the sagittal plane.

The superior occipital gyrus is a region in the occipital lobe of the brain that is responsible for visual spatial processing.

The middle occipital gyrus is located in the occipital lobe of the brain and is involved in processing visual stimuli.

The inferior occipital gyrus is a specific part of the brain involved in visual processing, while the frontal lobe, cerebellum, and amygdala serve other functions in the brain.

Heschl's gyrus is a brain structure located in the auditory cortex responsible for processing sound information. Broca's area is involved in speech production, Wernicke's area is involved in language comprehension, and the fusiform face area is responsible for facial recognition.

The correct acronym PP stands for Polar plane in this context.

In this context, 'PT' refers to 'temporal plane' as a part of the question naming convention.

The correct answer refers to a specific part of the frontal lobe, which is why the other options (frontal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe) are incorrect.

TR refers to the triangular part of F3 (pars triangularis) on the brain, which is part of the frontal lobe. The incorrect answers do not accurately describe TR and may lead to confusion.
