The document contains 10 multiple choice questions about the brain and nervous system. It tests knowledge on topics like what does not mean a neuron is firing (refractory period), what neurotransmitter surplus is linked to schizophrenia (dopamine), what part of the brain stem induces sleep (pons), what lobe controls decision making (frontal lobe), what gland secretes melatonin (pineal gland), and more. Each question is followed by an answer and brief explanation of the answer.

2. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING DOES NOT MEAN A
NEURON IS FIRING?
 A. depolarization
 B. neural impulse
 C. refractory period
 D. action potential

3.  Answer=C
 A refractory period is when the neuron is returning
to a polarized state or resting potential

4. THE SURPLUS OF WHICH NEUROTRANSMITTER IS
THOUGHT TO LEAD TO SCHIZOPHRENIA?
 A. Acetylcholine
 B. Norepinephrine
 C. Endorphins
 D. Dopamine

5.  Answer=D. Dopamine

6. WHAT PART OF THE BRAIN STEM PUTS A
PERSON TO SLEEP?
 A. Medulla
 B. Pons
 C. Cerebellum
 D. Reticular formation

7.  Answer=B. Pons

8. WHICH LOBE OF THE BRAIN CONTROLS
DECISION-MAKING AND ANALYSIS?
 A. Frontal
 B. Pariental
 C. Temporal
 D. Occipital

9.  Answer=A. Frontal

10. WHICH GLAND SECRETES THE HORMONE
MELATONIN (REGULATES SLEEP CYCLE)?
 A. Pineal gland
 B. Thyroid gland
 C. Pituitary gland
 D. Adrenal gland

11.  Answer=A. Pineal gland

12. WHICH STRUCTURE OF THE NEURON RELEASES
NEUROTRANSMITTERS INTO THE SYNAPTIC CLEFT?
 A. dendrites
 B. terminal buttons
 C. cell body
 D. axon

13.  Answer=B. terminal buttons

14. THE SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM USUALLY
DOES NOT CREATE WHICH RESPONSE IN THE
BODY?
 A. pupils dilate
 B. digestion stops
 C. increasing heartrate
 D. breathing slows down

15.  Answer=D. Breathing slows down
 Actually part of the parasympathetic nervous
system
 All other are sympathetic and prepare for fight or
flight responses
