Essay#1: Section 13.2, and Section 12.5 and 12.6
A. Identify four of the 12 cranial nerves (one sensory, one motor, and two mixed (sensory/motor). What are
their functions? Where in the brain (in the CNS) and in the body (outside the CNS) do they originate
and serve?
B. A viral infection has damaged a patient’s spinothalamic, corticospinal, and posterior column-medial
lemniscus tract. What are these pathways or tracts and their functions in the CNS, and what are some
signs exhibited by the patient that will help you, as her doctor, to accurately diagnose the problem and
the cause of the infection?
Essay#2: (A). What are three differences (3 for each area by comparing them (1 a, b, c; 2 a, b, c; 3 a, b, c)**
between the Motor, sensory, and Associated Areas in the brain. Identify two of such areas, and explain their
functions (the area) in that region of the brain, and where exactly (the area) is it located in that region of the
brain? Section 12.2 Cortex
**(1 a-motor, b-sensory, c-associated; 2 a-motor, b-sensory, c-associated; 3 a-motor, b-sensory, c-associated).
(B).Explain the different “Errors in Refraction” (Sec 15.5), and describe the major structures in the inner ear,
their structure, and function (what do they do & how) of the various parts?
Bonus Essay: (A). A viral infection has damaged a patient’s tectospinal tract. What signs of this damage
probably helped the physicians diagnose the problem? (B). What are the different classifications of Sensory
receptors? Provide and describes two example of each. Since sensory receptors and neurons are involve in
