Answer the following question given this paragraph:   Brain Stem The midbrain and hindbrain (composed of the pons and the medulla) are collectively referred to as the brain stem (Figure 13.12). The structure emerges from the ventral surface of the forebrain as a tapering cone that connects the brain to the spinal cord. Attached to the brain stem, but considered a separate region of the adult brain, is the cerebellum. The midbrain coordinates sensory representations of the visual, auditory, and somatosensory perceptual spaces. The pons is the main connection with the cerebellum. The pons and the medulla regulate several crucial functions, including the cardiovascular and respiratory systems and rates.   Q: What part of the brain is attached to the brain stem but considered a separate region of the adult brain?   A:
OPTIONS:
- parietal lobe
- temporal lobe
- frontal lobe
- cerebellum
cerebellum

Answer the following question given this paragraph:   A transverse wave is characterized by the high and low points reached by particles of the medium as the wave passes through. The high points are called crests, and the low points are called troughs. You can see both in the Figure below .   Q: What are the high points in a transverse wave called?   A:
OPTIONS:
- apex
- peaks
- waves
- crests
crests

Answer the following question given this paragraph:   Geologists look for oil in folded layers of rock called anticlines. Oil moves through permeable rock and is trapped by the impermeable cap rock.   Q: What do you call the folded layers of rock where geologists look for oil?   A:
OPTIONS:
- oscillations
- synclines
- crests
- anticlines
anticlines

Answer the following question given this paragraph:   Diseases of the endocrine system are fairly common. An endocrine disease usually involves the secretion of too much or not enough hormone by an endocrine gland. This may happen because the gland develops an abnormal lump of cells called a tumor. For example, a tumor of the pituitary gland can cause secretion of too much growth hormone. If this occurs in a child, it may result in very rapid growth and unusual tallness by adulthood. This is called gigantism.   Q: An endocrine disease usually involves the secretion of too much or not enough hormone by which gland?   A:
OPTIONS:
- Pituitary
- Thyroid
- Pancreas
- endocrine
