Question 5

Indicate which characteristic applies to which type of memory by using the following answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all).
-takes longer to retrieve information from this store
A)short-term memory
B)long-term memory

Accepted Answer

Long-term memory takes longer to retrieve information from compared to short-term memory. Short-term memory is designed for immediate use and typically holds information for only a few seconds to a minute or two, while long-term memory can retain information for hours, days, months, or even years. Retrieving information from long-term memory can require more effort and cues to access the stored information, which can take longer than accessing information from short-term memory.

Question 6

Indicate which characteristic applies to which type of memory by using the following answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all).
-limited storage capacity
A)short-term memory
B)long-term memory

Accepted Answer

Short-term memory has a limited storage capacity, typically around 7 items. Long-term memory, on the other hand, has an essentially unlimited storage capacity.

Question 7

Match the spinal tract with its characteristic by using the following answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all)..
-largest sensory tract
A)ventral spinocerebellar
B)rubrospinal
C)lateral corticospinal

E)lateral spinothalamic

Accepted Answer

The answer of Match the spinal tract with its characteristic...

Question 8

Match the following functions to their cranial nerves by using the following answer code.
-optic
A)hearing, body balance
B)sense of smell
C)sensory, motor function to facial regions, teeth
D)controls many internal organs in the ventral body cavity
E)moves the eye
F)sense of vision

Accepted Answer

The optic nerve is known as cranial nerve II, responsible for transmitting visual information from the retina to the brain.

Question 9

Match the spinal tract with its characteristic by using the following answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all)..
-tract that terminates in the cerebellum
A)ventral spinocerebellar
B)rubrospinal
C)lateral corticospinal
D)fasciculus cuneatus
E)lateral spinothalamic

Accepted Answer

The answer of Match the spinal tract with its characteristic...

Question 10

Indicate which characteristic applies to which type of memory by using the following answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all).
-involves transient modifications in function of preexisting synapses
A)short-term memory
B)long-term memory

Accepted Answer

Short-term memory involves transient modifications in function of pre-existing synapses. Long-term memory involves the creation of new synapses and changes in gene expression.

Question 11

Match the following functions to their cranial nerves by using the following answer code.
-trigeminal
A)hearing, body balance
B)sense of smell
C)sensory, motor function to facial regions, teeth
D)controls many internal organs in the ventral body cavity
E)moves the eye
F)sense of vision

Accepted Answer

The trigeminal nerve is responsible for providing sensory and motor function to the facial regions and teeth.

Question 12

Match the following functions to their cranial nerves by using the following answer code.
-oculomotor
A)hearing, body balance
B)sense of smell
C)sensory, motor function to facial regions, teeth
D)controls many internal organs in the ventral body cavity
E)moves the eye
F)sense of vision

Accepted Answer

Oculomotor nerve is cranial nerve III.

Question 13

Match the following functions to their cranial nerves by using the following answer code.
-olfactory
A)hearing, body balance
B)sense of smell
C)sensory, motor function to facial regions, teeth
D)controls many internal organs in the ventral body cavity
E)moves the eye
F)sense of vision

Accepted Answer

The olfactory nerve is cranial nerve I, responsible for sense of smell.

Question 14

Indicate which characteristic applies to which type of memory by using the following answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all).
-very large storage capacity
A)short-term memory
B)long-term memory

Accepted Answer

Long-term memory has a very large storage capacity, whereas short-term memory has a limited capacity, typically around 7 items.

Question 15

Match the following functions to their cranial nerves by using the following answer code.
-vagus
A)hearing, body balance
B)sense of smell

Indicate which characteristic applies to which type of memory by using the following answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all).
-probably involves relatively permanent functional or structural changes between existing neurons
A)short-term memory
B)long-term memory

Accepted Answer

Relatively permanent changes between existing neurons indicate the formation of long-term memory, as short-term memory is much more temporary and does not involve such structural or functional changes.

Question 17

Indicate which characteristic applies to which type of memory by using the following answer code (options may be used more than once or not at all).
-site for initial deposition of new information
A)short-term memory
B)long-term memory

The site for initial deposition of new information is short-term memory, as this is where new information is temporarily stored before it can be transferred to long-term memory through processes like rehearsal and consolidation.
