I. Matching (20 points) Match the description with the appropriate structure in the adult brain.
1. Implicated in “normal” social behavior Frontal lobe
2. The eye and optic nerve are really part of this brain region diencephalon
3. Site of origin of conscious motor commands Cerebellum
4. Relays various sensory inputs to “higher” brain regions Thalamus
5. Where the pleasure of a nice massage is perceived Post central gyrus
6. Regulates daily and seasonal cycles Epithalamus
7. Controls the endocrine system via the pituitary gland hypothalamus
8. Region to which the corpora quadrigemina belong mesencephalon
9. Coordinates and learns complex motor skills Precentral gyrus
10. Coordinates autonomic nervous system function Medulla oblongata

II. Functional Components (20 points) indicate the type of information being carried in each of the following situation: somatic sensory (ss), somatic motor (SM), visceral sensory (VS) or visceral motor (VM). Realize that reflexes will involve more than one.

1. Intestinal peristalsis VM
2. Contraction of the quadriceps SM
3. Drooling VM
4. The patellar reflex SS VM
5. Smelling garlic SS
6. Tasting chocolate VS
7. Pupil dilation
8. Pain withdrawal reflex
9. Feeling nausea VS
10. Seeing a rainbow SS

III. Name the Nerve (10 points) Indicate which peripheral nerve (spinal or cranial) is likely implicated in each of the following situations. If cranial, give name and number.

1. Inability to abduct at the shoulder. scuprascapular
2. Toes drag on the ground when walking Fibular nevre
3. Shifting weight completely over the standing leg when walking Static
4. Failure to exhibit pupil constriction Ocular motor III
5. Droopy face, dry eyes, and dry mouth. Facial VII
6. Can’t see Optic II
7. Arm is hyper flexed at the elbow, wrist and digits.
brachial plexus
8. Sore throat. Vagus X
9. At the doc’s office, feel the hammer but can’t kick l1-l5 femoral nerve
10. Hiccups Phrenic

IV Short answers (20 points)
Lucy wants to bulk up. She’s lifting heavy weights fast, three times a week. Unfortunately, Lucy has very few fast glycolytic muscle fibers in her biceps and she isn’t getting very buff. Explain to Lucy why her workout regime is not working.

She needs to work out with light weights many times to build the type of muscle she does have. You are born with a ratio and cannot change that ratio, and to work on the type that she does have. You must do a lot of slow reaps and put stress on the muscles so that they shorten and bulk up.

2. Explain, on a cellular level, why ladies in the 50’s wore high-heeled bedroom slippers with little pom-poms on top.

The Sacromeres in the calf muscles have shorted and there are fewer sacromeres in the cell so walking around flat footed would have been painful b/c the cross bridges would be broken and stretled further than they are usual to.
