Cerebrum and Receptors

Question 1

Telencephalon

Answer 1

The Cerebrum

Responsible for higher brain functions

Question 2

Cerebrum

Answer 2

Consists of an outer gray matter (cerebral cortex) and an inner white matter

Question 3

Cerebrum Structure

Answer 3

Two Cerebral Hemispheres

Question 4

Longitudinal Fissure

Answer 4

Seperates Cerebral Hemisphere

Question 5

Corpus Callosum

Answer 5

Axons that connect left and right hemisphere

Question 6

Gyrus

Answer 6

Raised area/elevation of cortex

Question 7

Sulcus

Answer 7

Depression or groove between gyri

Question 8

Frontal Lobe End Location

Answer 8

Ends at the central sulcus

Question 9

Central Sulcus

Answer 9

Seperates parietal and frontal lobe

Question 10

Motor Speech Area (Broca Area)

Answer 10

On left frontal
Controls motor functions involved with speech
If this is damaged, you can’t speak

Question 11

Primary Motor Cortex

Answer 11

Located in precentral gyrus of each frontal lobe

Controls voluntary skeletal muscle movement

Question 12

Parietal Lobe

Answer 12

Ends Anteriorly at Central Sulcus

Lateral Limits at a LAteral Sulcus

Question 13

What areas are in the Frontal Lobe

Answer 13

Motor Speech Area

Primary Motor Cortex

Question 14

Primary Somatosensory Cortex

Answer 14

Located in Postcentral Gyrus of each parietal lobe

Recieves sensory input from skin, muscle, joints

Question 15

Wernicke Area

Answer 15

Overlaps areas in both parietal and temporal lobes

Helps us understand written/spoken language

Question 16

What areas are in the Parietal Lobe

Answer 16

Primary Somatosensory Cortex

Wernicke Area

Question 17

What areas are located in the Temporal Lobe

Answer 17

Primary Auditory Cortex
Wernicke Area
Primary Olfactory Corex

Question 18

Primary Auditory Cortex

Answer 18

Interprets/distingushes sounds

Stores Auditory memories

Question 19

Wernicke Area (Temporal Lobe)

Answer 19

Involved in recognizing, understanding, or comprehending spoken or written language

Question 20

Primary Olfactory Cortex

Answer 20

Processes smell information and provides conscious awareness of smells

Question 21

Area of Occipital Lobe

Answer 21

Primary Visual Cortex

Question 22

Primary Visual Cortex

Answer 22

Works with other areas in the occipital lobe to distinguish and interpret visual images
Assembles pieces to create a picture

Question 23

Areas located in Insula

Answer 23

Primary Gustatory Cortex

Question 24

Insula

Answer 24

Deep to the lateral sulcus and involved with memory

Primary Gustaory Cortex

Answer 25

Involved in processing taste information

Question 26

Receptors Definiton

Answer 26

A receptor is a structure that converts a sensory stimulus to a nerve impulse

Question 27

Types of Receptors

Answer 27

Exteroceptors, Interoceptors, Propioceptors

Question 28

Exteroceptors

Answer 28

Near surface of body
Stimuli from outside environment
Some are cutaneous receptors (Skin)
Special Senses (Sight, Smell, Taste)

Question 29

Interoceptors

Answer 29

Primary stretch receptors in smooth muscle of blood vessels and viscera

Question 30

Proprioceptors

Answer 30

Provides infromation about muscles, joints, and tendons
Sends information to cerebellum
Involves joint receptors, muscle spindles
