Explanation:

• Question 16: The limbic system is mainly associated with emotions. It includes structures like the amygdala (involved in fear and aggression responses), hippocampus (related to emotional memory), etc. Consciousness is more associated with the reticular activating system and cerebral cortex. Sleep - wake cycles are regulated by structures like the hypothalamus and pineal gland. Language is mainly processed in areas like Broca's and Wernicke's areas in the cerebral cortex.
• Question 17: Cerebral localization refers to the idea that specific functions are located in specific areas of the brain. For example, motor functions are in the pre - central gyrus, and sensory functions are in the post - central gyrus. Cerebral plasticity is the brain's ability to change (e.g., form new neural connections) in response to experience. Cerebral mapping is the process of identifying these localized functions. Neurophysiology is the study of how the nervous system functions (including electrical and chemical processes), not specifically about the location of functions.
• Question 18: The parasympathetic nervous system is also called the craniosacral nervous system because its pre - ganglionic neurons originate from cranial nerves (III, VII, IX, X) and sacral spinal cord segments (S2 - S4). The thoracolumbar nervous system is another name for the sympathetic nervous system (pre - ganglionic neurons from thoracic and lumbar spinal cord segments). The visceral nervous system is a more general term for the part of the peripheral nervous system that innervates internal organs. Cholinergic refers to neurons that use acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter (both sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons can be cholinergic).

Answer:

• Question 16: emotion
• Question 17: cerebral localization
• Question 18: craniosacral
