Delimiter between question and answer:

Tips:

  • No column headers.
  • Each line maps to a question.
  • If the delimiter is used in a question, the question should be surrounded by double quotes: "My, question","My, answer"
  • The first answer in the multiple choice question must be the correct answer.

CN V: Trigeminal
Which cranial nerves neurons are closely integrated with CN X?
CN XI: Accessory
Which cranial nerve has 3 branches, each having a special importance for speech production?
CN X: Vagus
Which structure is described as "the doorway" through which subcortical systems of the nervous system communicate with the cerebral cortex?
Thalamus
T or F?: It is believed that the initial planning of a voluntary movement is formulated primarily in the association cortices.
True
T or F?: The primary motor cortex is an actual action commander.
True
The control circuits in the basal ganglia and cerebellum link the association cortex with the ____ ____ _____.
Primary Motor Cortex
The spinal nerves play an important role in speech production because they provide motor innervations for the muscles of _____.
