PSYC110 Post-Lab Test: The Nervous System and Brain Functions
Devry PSYC110 ch 2 post lab test
1) A work-related accident left Bob with a paralyzed left arm and an inability to recognize the
left side of his visual field. Bob's condition is called:
spinocerebellar degeneration.
Broca's aphasia.
Wernicke's aphasia.
spatial neglect.
Score: 1
2) When people are walking, raising their hands in class, or smelling a flower, they are using the:
skeletal nervous system.
central nervous system.
autonomic nervous system.
somatic nervous system.
Score: 1
3) Unlike other glands, such as salivary or sweat glands, endocrine glands:
do not have any effect on metabolism.
do not have any effect on the body's growth.
secrete chemicals directly into the bloodstream.
secrete hormones onto the body's tissues through ducts.
Score: 1
4) According to the textbook, scientists are investigating the use of stem cells to:
treat cancer.
