Question 6Which choice is true regarding the brain stem? Choose all that apply.

1.            One of the pons functions is to control behavior and emotion.

2.            The pons contains nuclei centers that control actions like heart rate, respiratory rate and coughing

3.            The limbic system is part of the medulla

Question 11Which statement is true of the central nervous system?

1.            Cerebral cortex is only found in the frontal lobe

2.            White matter of the brain are specialized neurons that assist in vision processing

3.            The pia mater of the meninges adheres directly to the brain and spinal cord

4.            The ventricles of the brain help transmit information from one area of the brain to the other
