Answer 2

1) Frontal Lobe
2) Parietal Lobe –> Concerned with sensory perception and integration of taste some visual information, somatosensory sensations (touch, stretch, pain)
3) Occipital Lobe –> Principal Visual Center
4) Temporal –> Concerned with hearing, smell, learning, and memory visual recognition and emotional behavior
5) Insula –> Plays a role in understanding and speaking, taste, integrating sensory information from visceral receptors.

Question 3

Match the following with the brain regions:

Vision, hearing, equilibrium, taste, and smell

Answer 3

Vision –> Posterior occipital lobe

hearing –> superior temporal lobe and insula

Equilibrium –> Cerebellum

Taste –> Parts of the insula and lower parietal lobe

Smell –> medial temporal and inferior frontal lobes

Question 4

What is the difference between the primary sensory areas and the Sensory association areas?
