Part 3 Flashcards
The ____________ cortex is where our personality is established, where we decide how to behave, and
plan and execute behaviors.
Pre frontal cortex
The ___________ _____________ cortex is in the precentral gyrus. It sends the signals that initiate
somatic motor commands that stimulate our voluntary skeletal muscles.
Primary Motor Cortex
The _____________ ___________ area or __________ area is where we plan movements for the
primary cortex.
Motor Association Area or Premotor Area
For the sensory areas of the brain, the ______________ cortex is where raw sensory data is first
received and the __________ area is where we interpret that sensory info.
Primary Somatosensory;
Somatosensory Association
The postcentral gyrus contains the ____________ ______________ cortex. What type of signals do we
receive here?
Primary Somatosensory cortex;
receives somatosensory info like Pressure, pain, touch, temperature, vibration
The ______________ _______________ area is where we interpret feelings such as touch, temp, and
pressure, etc.
somatosensory Association
The _______________ _____________ cortex receives sensory input from the sight receptors in the
eyes.
Primary Visual cortex
The __________ _________ area is where we identify and understand the things we see.
Visual Association area
The _____________ ____________ cortex receives information from sound receptors in the inner ear.
Primary Auditory Cortex
The __________ _____________ area allows us to identify and understand the things we hear.
Auditory Association Area
The _______________ ____________ cortex receives information form odor receptors called
_____________ receptors. This provides us with a sense of _____________
Primary Olfactory Cortex;
odor receptors;
sense of smell
The _______________ ______________ cortex receives information from taste receptors on the
tongue’s taste buds. These receptors are also called ___________ receptors.
Primary Gustatory Cortex;
taste receptors
The orbitofrontal cortex is an association area for both __________ and ____________.
taste and smell
The General Interpretive Area or ____________ area receives information from all sensory association
areas and allows us to coordinate access to complex visual and auditory memories.
Motor speech
The motor speech center or ________ area is where we coordinate complex vocalization functions
(speech).
Brocas area
