Block 1

Question 1

Function: Cingulate Gyrus

Answer 1

Involved in emotional processing of pain

Contains a supplementary motor area where complex movements are planned and executed

Question 2

Function: Insula

Answer 2

Receives information from viscera and contributes to the autonomic components of the pain response

Question 3

Function: Cingulate Sulcus

Answer 3

Involved in initial stages of movement generation

Question 4

Function: Precentral Gyrus

Answer 4

This is the primary motor cortex

Question 5

Function: Left Inferior Frontal Gyrus

Answer 5

Broca’s area : Speech Production (motor aspect)

Question 6

Function: Superior Temporal Gyrus

Answer 6

Wernicke’s area: Sensory area for speech, contains auditory association area (Speech comprehension)

Question 7

Function: Uncus

Answer 7

Olfactory Cortex

Question 8

Function: Postcentral Gyrus

Answer 8

This is the primary somatosensory cortex

Question 9

Function: Calcarine Sulcus

Answer 9

The Primary Visual Cortex surrounds this sulcus

Question 10

Function: Thalamus

Answer 10

Processes and relays information between sensory or motor systems to cerebral cortex

Question 11

Function: Hypothalamus

Answer 11

Regulates the endocrine system by influencing secretion of the pituitary gland; involved with the ANS

Question 12

Function: Pineal Body (Pineal Gland)

Answer 12

It secretes melatonin (Sleep/Wake regulation)

Question 13

Function: Midbrain; Tectum; Superior Colliculi

Answer 13

Visual system relay and reflex

Question 14

Function: Midbrain; Tectum; Inferior Colliculi

Answer 14

Auditory system relay and reflex

Question 15

Function: Medulla; Pyramids

Answer 15

these are isilateral fiber tracts carrying motor information from the primary motor cortex (precentral gyrus) en route to the spinal cord

Question 16

Function: Anterior Comissure

Answer 16

It connects the temporal lobes of the cerebrum as well as the olfactory bulb

Question 17

Function: Posterior Comissure

Answer 17

Connects parts of the Midbrain

Question 18

Answer 18

a relay in the auditory pathway

Question 19

Function: Thalamus; Lateral Geniculate Nucleus

Answer 19

a relay in the visual pathway
