Questions About Nervous System Questions
Question 1 of 5
The diameter of a motor nerve fibre is
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Motor nerve fibers (alpha motor neurons) are large, myelinated, and typically 12-20 micrometers in diameter to ensure fast conduction to muscles. Smaller diameters are for sensory or unmyelinated fibers.
Question 2 of 5
The sensory root of the facial nerve
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The sensory root of CN VII is the nervus intermedius, carrying taste and parasympathetic fibers, exiting via the internal acoustic meatus, not foramen ovale.
Question 3 of 5
The midbrain
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The midbrain contains oculomotor (CN III) nuclei, lying between the pons and diencephalon in the posterior cranial fossa.
Question 4 of 5
Regarding the blood supply of the cerebral cortex
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The anterior cerebral artery supplies the medial cortex (contralateral leg, micturition/defecation areas). Middle cerebral supplies lateral cortex (arm, face, speech).
Question 5 of 5
Regarding anterior nerve roots
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Anterior roots contain efferent motor fibers and some sympathetic fibers (T1-L2), joining posterior roots at the spinal nerve.
