Brain Structure and Function
Psychology ⇒ Biological Bases of Behavior
Brain Structure and Function starts at 11 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Brain Structure and Function.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 12
Describe the function of the meninges in the brain.

Fill in the blank: The ________ is the outermost layer of the brain, involved in higher-order functions such as reasoning and decision-making.
True or False: The brainstem controls basic life functions such as breathing and heartbeat.
True or False: The cerebellum is involved in coordinating voluntary movements and maintaining balance.
True or False: The cerebrum is divided into four main lobes.
True or False: The hypothalamus is involved in regulating hunger, thirst, and body temperature.
