Match the following functions to their cranial nerves. a.hearing, body balance b.sense of smell c.sensory, motor function to facial regions, teeth d.controls many internal organs in the ventral body cavity e.moves the eye f.sense of vision -Vagus

Describe the general arrangement of gray and white matter in the spinal cord, and then describe the contents of dorsal, lateral, and ventral horns in the spinal cord.Include in your answer the following terms: columns, tracts, cell bodies, axons, interneurons, somatic motor neurons, visceral motor neurons, and afferent neurons.

A region on the medial surface of each cerebral hemisphere that brings about complex patterns of movement, such as opening and closing the hands, is the

Most brain tumors of neural origin consist of interneurons.

Indicate which brain structure is associated with each function by writing the appropriate letter in the blank using the following answer code: a.cerebellum b.hypothalamus c.brainstem d.basal nuclei e.cerebral cortex -Helps monitor and coordinate slow, sustained contractions, especially those related to support and posture

The ____________________ cortex, the site for initial cortical processing of somesthetic and proprioceptive input, is located in the ____________________ lobes.

Match the following lobes to its descriptions: a.occipital lobes b.temporal lobes c.parietal lobes d.frontal lobes -Located in front of the central sulcus

Indicate which characteristic applies to which type of memory using the following answer code: a.short-term memory b.long-term memory -Takes longer to retrieve information from this store

Match the following structures to their descriptions. a.temporal lobe b.Wernicke's area c.somatosensory cortex d.limbic association cortex e.corpus callosum f.primary motor cortex g.occipital lobe h.Broca's area i.supplementary motor area j.prefrontal association cortex -Primarily concerned with motivation and emotion

The two regions of gray matter within the cerebrum are the cerebral cortex and the basal nuclei.

The ____________________ horns in the spinal cord contain autonomic nerve fibers that supply cardiac and smooth muscle and glands.

Select the incorrect association.

The basal nuclei are part of the cerebrum and diencephalon.

Which component of the reflex arc directly sends an impulse to an organ making a response?

Which of the following is not a function of astrocytes?

The corpus callosum interconnects the

The neural change responsible for retention or storage of knowledge is known as the ____________________.
