Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for resetting the autonomic nervous system after activation and can often function on hyper-alert in individuals who have experienced trauma. The peripheral nervous system consists of the nerves and ganglia located outside the central nervous system. The central nervous system consists of the brain and the spinal cord. The sympathetic nervous system mobilizes body systems during activity (especially during stress).

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: The occipital lobe is involved in interpretation of visual perception and recognition, language, and memory formation. The parietal lobe facilitates complex motor and cognitive skills, such as a mastery of visual and spatial balance, mathematical ability, and spelling. The temporal lobe is the emotional center and is involved with memory, cognition, and understanding the acoustic aspects of language. The right frontal lobe has functional responsibilities for muscular movement on the left side of the body.
