About This Quiz


What do you know about the brain and nervous system? The basic component of the nervous system is the nerve cell or neuron. In combination, neurons form nerves, which are the fibers that conduct signals throughout the body. A protective shielding of myelin, a fatty substance, defends parts of the fibers. The action of nerve cells is mutually electrical and chemical. This quiz will get your brain working. Good luck.

    Name one thing your cerebellum controls _________________ HINT: - ProProfs

    Name one thing your cerebellum controls _________________ HINT:

    Explanation
    The cerebellum controls balance, movement, and coordination. It is responsible for maintaining our body's equilibrium and stability, allowing us to stay upright and steady. It also plays a crucial role in coordinating voluntary movements, ensuring smooth and precise execution. The cerebellum receives sensory information from various parts of the body and integrates it to fine-tune motor commands, enabling us to perform complex tasks with accuracy and efficiency.

    The ________ lobe are in the rear of the brain and and contain the visual cortex, which processes sight. - ProProfs

    The ________ lobe are in the rear of the brain and and contain the visual cortex, which processes sight.

    Explanation
    The occipital lobes are located at the back of the brain and they house the visual cortex, which is responsible for processing visual information. This means that the occipital lobes play a crucial role in our ability to see and interpret the world around us.

    The cerebrum controls how we ____________?HINT: - ProProfs

    The cerebrum controls how we ____________?HINT:

    Explanation
    The cerebrum is responsible for controlling various cognitive processes such as thinking, planning, imagining, and reasoning. These functions are essential for higher-level cognitive abilities and are primarily regulated by the cerebrum.

    What is the back part of the brain called? - ProProfs

    What is the back part of the brain called?

    • Cerebrum

    • Brain stem

    • Thalamus

    • Cerebellum

    Correct Answer
    A. Cerebellum
    Explanation
    The back part of the brain is called the cerebellum. It is responsible for coordinating voluntary movements, maintaining balance, and controlling posture. It receives information from the sensory systems, the spinal cord, and other parts of the brain, and uses this information to fine-tune motor activity. The cerebellum also plays a role in cognitive functions such as attention and language.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 
    The lobe that is located near the ear and is incharge of hearing is the ____________ lobe. - ProProfs

    The lobe that is located near the ear and is incharge of hearing is the ____________ lobe.

    • Occipital

    • Parietal

    • Temporal

    • Frontal

    Correct Answer
    A. Temporal
    Explanation
    The temporal lobe is responsible for processing auditory information and is located near the ear. It plays a crucial role in interpreting sounds and speech, as well as in recognizing and remembering auditory stimuli. The occipital lobe is primarily involved in visual processing, the parietal lobe is responsible for sensory perception and spatial awareness, and the frontal lobe is involved in cognitive functions such as problem-solving and decision-making.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 
    Which lobe contains the cerebrum? - ProProfs

    Which lobe contains the cerebrum?

    • Frontal Lobe

    • Temporal lobe

    • Parietal lobe

    • Occipital lobe

    Correct Answer
    A. Frontal Lobe
    Explanation
    The cerebrum is located in the frontal lobe of the brain. This lobe is responsible for various cognitive functions such as decision-making, problem-solving, and voluntary movement. It is situated at the front of the brain, just behind the forehead. The frontal lobe plays a crucial role in higher-level thinking and executive functions.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 
    What sits below the the cerebrum and in front of the cerebellum? - ProProfs

    What sits below the the cerebrum and in front of the cerebellum?

    • Cerebellum

    • Brainstem

    • Thalamus

    • Cerebrum

    Correct Answer
    A. Brainstem
    Explanation
    The brainstem is located below the cerebrum and in front of the cerebellum. It is responsible for controlling many basic functions of the body, such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. It also serves as a pathway for nerve fibers to transmit signals between the brain and the rest of the body.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 
    Where is the parietal lobe located? - ProProfs

    Where is the parietal lobe located?

    • Behind the forehead

    • Behind the frontal lobe

    • In the rear of the brain

    • Beside the cerebellum

    Correct Answer
    A. Behind the frontal lobe
    Explanation
    The parietal lobe is located behind the frontal lobe in the brain. It is responsible for processing sensory information from the body, such as touch, temperature, and spatial awareness. It plays a crucial role in sensory perception, spatial orientation, and body awareness.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 
    The cerebrum makes up_______ percent of the brain's weight. (this is a number answer) - ProProfs

    The cerebrum makes up_______ percent of the brain's weight. (this is a number answer)

    Correct Answer
    85
    Explanation
    The cerebrum makes up 85% of the brain's weight.
