Q1. Which three major categories describe cerebral white matter fibers?

  • Gray, white, and reticular fibers
  • Association, commissural, and projection fibers
  • Sensory, motor, and autonomic nerves
  • Dorsal, ventral, and lateral roots

Q2. What do association fibers connect?

  • The spinal cord directly to skeletal muscle
  • Only the two cerebral hemispheres
  • The cerebellum to peripheral nerves
  • Cortical areas within the same hemisphere

Q3. What do commissural fibers connect?

  • The cerebellum and vestibular apparatus
  • Only adjacent gyri in one hemisphere
  • The spinal cord and medulla
  • The two cerebral hemispheres

Q4. What do projection fibers connect?

  • Only cerebellar folia
  • Only the right and left hemispheres
  • Only neighboring cortical gyri
  • Cerebral cortex with deeper neural structures

Q5. What is the corona radiata?

  • A layer of the cerebral cortex
  • Fan-shaped projection fibers between cortex and internal capsule
  • A meningeal venous sinus
  • A commissure between occipital lobes

Q6. What is the internal capsule?

  • A cortical sulcus
  • A compact concentration of cerebral projection fibers
  • A dural fold
  • A ventricular recess

Q7. Which ventricular cavities lie within the cerebral hemispheres?

  • Fourth ventricle only
  • Lateral ventricles
  • Central canal
  • Cerebral aqueduct

Q8. Which deep gray matter structures are closely associated with the cerebrum and participate in motor and related circuits?

  • Basal nuclei
  • Cerebellar nuclei only
  • Dorsal column nuclei
  • Cranial nerve nuclei

Q9. Which arteries provide the principal arterial supply to the cerebral hemispheres?

  • Basilar, facial, and lingual arteries
  • Anterior, middle, and posterior cerebral arteries
  • Anterior spinal, PICA, and AICA only
  • Middle meningeal, occipital, and maxillary arteries

Q10. What is meant by cortical somatotopy?

  • Arrangement of cerebral arteries around the brainstem
  • Random distribution of cranial nerves in cortex
  • Orderly cortical representation of different body regions
  • Separation of gray matter from white matter
