Question 1

Broca’s area textbook

Answer 1

brain region that translates thoughts into speech or signs

Question 2

Broca’s area wikipedia

Answer 2

functions linked to speech production.
The production of language has been linked to the Broca’s area since Pierre Paul Broca reported impairments in two patients. They had lost the ability to speak after injury to the posterior inferior frontal gyrus of the brain.

Question 3

Paul Broca (1824-1880)

Answer 3

a French physician, surgeon, anatomist, and anthropologist

His work revealed that the brains of patients suffering from aphasia (disturbance in formulation and comprehension of language) contained lesions in a particular part of the cortex, in the left frontal region.

Question 4

Phineas Gage

Answer 4

Large iron rod went through his head

Question 5

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)

Answer 5

A technique for producing temporary inactivation of brain areas using repeated pulses of magnetic stimulation

Question 6

Electroencephalogram (EEG)

Answer 6

A recording of the electrical activity of the brain

Question 7

PET scan full name and what it is?

Answer 7

Positron Emission tomography. A brain image produced by a device that obtains detailed pictures of activity in the living brain by recording the radioactivity emitted by cells during different cognitive or behavioural activities

Question 8

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

Answer 8

A technique for brain imaging that scans the brain using magnetic fields and radio waves

Question 9

functional MRI

Answer 9

A brain imaging technique that combines benefits of both MRI and PET scans by detecting magnetic changes in the flow of blood to cells in the brain

Question 10

Central Nervous System (CNS)?

Answer 10

part of nervous system containg the brain and spinal cord

Question 11

Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)?

Answer 11

part of nervous system composed of the spinal and cranial nerves that connect the body’s sensory receptors to the CNS and the CNS to the muscles and glands

Question 12

Somatic Nervous System?

Answer 12

subdivision of the peripheral nervous system that connects the central nervous system to the skeletal muscles and skin. Regulates actions of the body’s skeletal muscles. Voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles. Also called Voluntary Nervous System

Question 13

Autonomic nervous system (ANS) textbook?

Answer 13

subdivision of the peripheral nervous system the controls the body’s involuntary motor responses

Question 14

Autonomic nervous system (ANS) wikipedia?

Answer 14

The autonomic nervous system (ANS or visceral nervous system or involuntary nervous system) is the part of the peripheral nervous system that acts as a control system functioning largely below the level of consciousness, and controls visceral functions. The ANS affects heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, salivation, perspiration, pupillary dilation, micturition (urination), and sexual arousal. Most autonomous functions are involuntary but a number of ANS actions can work alongside some degree of conscious control. Everyday examples include breathing, swallowing, and sexual arousal, and in some cases functions such as heart rate.

Question 15

Sympathetic division of autonomic nervous system?

Answer 15

deals with emergency response and the mobilisation of energy. Fight or flight.

Question 16

parasympathetic division of autonomic nervous system?

Answer 16

monitors the routine operation of the body’s internal functions and conserves and restores body energy.
