Question
Which of the following is incorrect regarding the mechanism by which sound waves are converted to electrical signals perceived by the brain?
movement of the cochlear hair cells opens mechanically gated potassium channels, leading to depolarization of the cell and an action potential.
pressure waves in the air are transduced to the fluid filled spaces of the inner ear by the movement of tiny bones in the inner ear.
pressure waves moving through the fluid filled chambers of the cochlea cause the basilar membrane to bounce up and down.
pressure waves from the air move the eardrum, which in turn tugs on the tiny bones in inner ear.
movement of fluid in the semicircular canals stimulates the hair cells, which send an action potential down the auditory nerve.
What part of the brain sorts incoming information, such as touch signals from your hand, into categories before relaying it to the cerebral cortex?
thalamus
hypothalamus
pons
corpus callosum
hippocampus
Broca's area and Wernicke's area of the brain are most associated with which of the following?
ability to perceive sound
ability to correctly process and form language
ability to control emotions
ability to form memories
ability to control motor function
Which of the following parts of the brain is most associated with memory?
hippocampus
cerebellum
thalamus
hypothalamus
corpus callosum
Which of the following is the region of the cerebral cortex most closely associated with planning, emotional control and judgement?
Parietal lobes
Frontal lobes
Temporal lobes
Cerebellum
Occipital lobe
