Neurological System Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which number in the diagram corresponds to the renal pelvis? (Figure 2)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The number 13 corresponds to the renal pelvis because it is the funnel-shaped structure in the kidney that collects urine from the nephrons and channels it into the ureter. The renal pelvis is a critical part of the urinary system, as it serves as a reservoir for urine before it is excreted from the body.
Question 2 of 5
The Broca's area is located in the lobe:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Frontal lobe is the correct answer because Broca's area, which is responsible for speech production and language processing, is located in the posterior part of the frontal lobe, typically in the left hemisphere. Damage to this area results in Broca's aphasia, characterized by non-fluent speech and difficulty forming sentences.
Question 3 of 5
In initial stage of Parkinson disease the most typical involuntary movement is the following:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Tremor is the correct answer because it is one of the earliest and most characteristic symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The tremor is typically a resting tremor, which decreases with voluntary movement and is often described as ‘pill-rolling' due to its appearance. It results from the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra.
Question 4 of 5
The action potential of a neuron
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The action potential is initiated by the influx of Na+ through voltage-gated sodium channels, causing depolarization. It is terminated by the efflux of K+ through voltage-gated potassium channels, leading to repolarization. The action potential does not decline in amplitude as it propagates along the axon (all-or-none principle), and there is a net movement of Na+ and K+ across the membrane during the process.
