Questions and Answers

1.

The nervous system may be divided into two principal divisions: (Select two)
- A.
  
  The central nervous system
- B.
  
  The autonomic nervous system
- C.
  
  The peripheral nervous system
- D.
  
  The parasympathetic nervous system
Correct Answer(s)
A. The central nervous system
C. The peripHeral nervous system

Explanation
The nervous system is divided into two principal divisions: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord, which are responsible for processing and coordinating information. The PNS includes all the nerves that connect the CNS to the rest of the body, allowing for communication between the brain and the organs, muscles, and sensory receptors. Therefore, the correct answer is the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.

______ ______are commonly recognised neurotransmitters.
- A.
  
  Adrenalin and dopamine
- B.
  
  Noradrenalin and dopamine
- C.
  
  Noradrenalin and serotonin
Correct Answer
B. Noradrenalin and dopamine

Explanation
Noradrenalin and dopamine are commonly recognized neurotransmitters in the brain. Noradrenalin is involved in regulating attention, alertness, and stress response, while dopamine plays a role in motivation, reward, and movement. Both neurotransmitters are important for communication between nerve cells and are involved in various physiological and psychological processes.

The three main parts of the brain are: (Select three)
- A.
  
  The cerebellum
- B.
  
  The dura mater
- C.
  
  The cerebrum
- D.
  
  The brain stem
Correct Answer(s)
A. The cerebellum
C. The cerebrum
D. The brain stem

Explanation
The cerebellum, cerebrum, and brain stem are the three main parts of the brain. The cerebellum is responsible for coordinating voluntary movements and maintaining balance and posture. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and is responsible for conscious thought, memory, and processing sensory information. The brain stem connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls basic functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.

Lumbar and sacral plexuses give rise to the fermoral nerve, the obturator nerve, and the sciatic nerve.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The lumbar and sacral plexuses are nerve networks located in the lower back and pelvis. These plexuses give rise to several major nerves, including the femoral nerve, obturator nerve, and sciatic nerve. Therefore, the statement that the lumbar and sacral plexuses give rise to the femoral nerve, obturator nerve, and sciatic nerve is true.

5.

The ‘knee jerk’ reflex is voluntary and serves to stop us collapsing at the knee.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement is false because the knee-jerk reflex is actually an involuntary reflex. It is a rapid and automatic response to a stimulus, such as tapping the patellar tendon below the kneecap. This reflex involves the contraction of the quadriceps muscle, causing the leg to extend. It is not under conscious control and does not serve to stop us from collapsing at the knee.
