, 3. Bundle of axons in the PNS
4. Group of ganglia in the PNS
7. If your doctor told you that you are suffering from a dysfunction in a _ , you would know the
relevant structure was in the central nervous system.
1. nerve

system.
1. nerve, tract
2. tract, nerve
3. ganglion, nucleus
4. nucleus, ganglion (*)
9. A bundle of axons in the CNS is called a _ , but is called a _ if it is in the peripheral
nervous system.
1. tract, nerve (*)
2. nerve, tract
3. ganglion, nucleus
4. nucleus, ganglion
10. In the development of the brain, the:
1. Forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain develop from the upper part of a tube-like structure in
the fetus (*)
2. Forebrain remains quite small until birth, then rapidly overgrows the rest of the brain
3. Forebrain is not convoluted until after birth
4. Spinal cord does not begin to develop until after birth
11. The functioning of the two hemispheres is:
1. Totally symmetrical
2. Somewhat asymmetrical (*)
3. Mostly independent
4. Totally dependent
12. While a mature gorilla may appear to display practically every anatomical feature in common
with humans, we all have one proportionately larger feature in our brains. This is the:
1. Brain
2. Cerebellum
3. Cerebral hemispheres (*)
4. Midbrain
13. A gyrus is:
1. A ridge in the cortex (*)
2. A small space between the ridges of the cortex
3. A large space between the ridges of the cortex
4. One hemisphere of the cortex
14. The lissencephalic individual in the chapter’s opening vignette had a brain that lacked:
1. Gyri
2. Sulci
16. The organization of the human cortex is typically composed of _ layers and columns
containing _ neurons.
1. 6, more than 500
2. 5, 80–100
3. 5, more than 500
4. 6, 80–100 (*)
17. Amato, an anthropologist, found three skulls of the same species at one site. He is most likely
to conclude that the:
1. Largest skull came from the largest individual (*)
2. Largest skull came from the most intelligent individual
3. Largest skull came from a male
4. Smallest skull came from a female
18. According to the anatomist Bischoff, women were considered intellectually inferior solely
because:
1. Of their uterus
2. They typically have smaller brains than men (*)
3. Of the effects of feminine hormones on the brain
4. Men dominated every developed society
19. Among humans, the relationship between brain size and intelligence is:
1. A strong positive correlation
2. A weak negative correlation
3. Small with high variability (*)
4. Stronger for females than for males
20. In the human brain:
1. The frontal lobe controls sensory integration
2. The precentral gyrus controls voluntary movement (*)
3. The basal ganglia are located in the non-dominant hemisphere
4. Obsessive-compulsive behaviors are controlled by the same area responsible for
language production
21. Homunculus refers to:
1. “One sided,” referring to the dominance of one hemisphere over the other
2. “Works as one,” referring to how the individual parts of the brain work together
3. “Little man,” referring to how the parts of the body map onto the motor cortex of the brain
(*)
4. “Folded on itself,” referring to the multiple convolutions in the brain
