  • 2. 

    What is the seat of intelligence, judgment and problem solving?

    • Frontal lobe

    • Temporal lobe

    • Parietal lobe

    • Occipital lobe

    Correct Answer
    A. Frontal lobe
    Explanation
    The frontal lobe is responsible for various cognitive functions, including intelligence, judgment, and problem-solving. It plays a crucial role in decision-making, reasoning, and planning. This area of the brain is involved in complex thinking processes and is often considered the seat of higher-order cognitive abilities.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    The spinal cord has _____ layer(s) of protective covering(s) called meninges.

    • 3

    • 2

    • 1

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    The spinal cord is protected by three layers of meninges. These layers, known as the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater, provide a protective covering for the delicate spinal cord. The dura mater is the outermost layer, followed by the arachnoid mater, and finally the pia mater, which is the innermost layer. These layers help to cushion and protect the spinal cord from injury or damage.

    Which function is lost with the cerebellum not working?

    • Emotions

    • Reasoning and judgment

    • Sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm)

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. None of the above
    Explanation
    The cerebellum is responsible for coordinating movement, balance, and posture, but it is not directly involved in emotions, reasoning and judgment, or the sleep-wake cycle. Therefore, none of the above functions are lost when the cerebellum is not working.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which of the following forms the brain?

    • Occipital Lobe

    • Temporal Lobe

    • Adrenal Gland

    • Parietal Lobe

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Occipital Lobe
    A. Temporal Lobe
    A. Parietal Lobe
    Explanation
    The brain is formed by the Occipital Lobe, Temporal Lobe, and Parietal Lobe. The Occipital Lobe is responsible for processing visual information, while the Temporal Lobe is involved in auditory perception, memory, and language comprehension. The Parietal Lobe plays a role in sensory perception, spatial awareness, and attention. These three lobes are essential components of the brain and contribute to its overall functioning.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    A human being has these many pairs of cranial nerves (type in number and not in words) __________

    Correct Answer(s)
    31
    Explanation
    A human being has 31 pairs of cranial nerves. These nerves emerge from the brain and control various functions of the head, neck, and some parts of the body. Each pair of cranial nerves has a specific function, such as controlling eye movement, facial expressions, hearing, taste, and sensation in different areas. The correct answer states the number of cranial nerves in numerical form, which is 31.
