C) C
D) D
E) E

Accepted Answer

The image shows the development of the eye, and the arrow is pointing towards the optic cup, which becomes specialized for sensitivity to light. Choice C is the optic cup in the image.

Question 2

________ Cerebellum
A) Telencephalon
B) Diencephalon
C) Mesencephalon
D) Metencephalon
E) Myelencephalon

Accepted Answer

The cerebellum is part of the metencephalon, which is one of the five major divisions of the brain that develop during embryonic development. The metencephalon also includes the pons, which is an important relay center for sensory and motor information.

A) Telencephalon
B) Diencephalon
C) Mesencephalon
D) Metencephalon
E) Myelencephalon

Accepted Answer

The olivary nuclei in the rostral part of the myelencephalon (open part of the medulla)are derived from neuroblasts that migrate from the alar plates.

Question 7

________ Pons
A) Telencephalon
B) Diencephalon
C) Mesencephalon
D) Metencephalon
E) Myelencephalon

Accepted Answer

The pons is derived from the metencephalon.Nerve fibers that connect the cerebral and cerebellar cortices with the spinal cord pass through the marginal layer of the ventral region of the metencephalon.These fibers form a robust band of nerve fibers crossing to the other side.This accounts for the name pons,a Latin word meaning "a bridge." The walls of the metencephalon form the pons and cerebellum,and its cavity forms the superior part of the fourth ventricle.

Question 8

________ Thalamus
A) Telencephalon
B) Diencephalon
C) Mesencephalon
D) Metencephalon
E) Myelencephalon

Accepted Answer

The thalamus is located in the diencephalon, which is the region of the brain between the telencephalon (cerebral hemispheres) and the midbrain (mesencephalon). Therefore, B, D, and E are all incorrect. A is incorrect because the telencephalon is a higher brain division that includes the cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, and limbic system, but not the thalamus.
