Neuro - Everything

Question 1

primary motor cortex

Answer 1

Brodmans 4

• sends neural messages to the muscles via pyramidal pathways
• modulated by extrapyramidal pathway

Question 2

premotor cortex

Answer 2

• Brodmans 6

- initation and planning of skilled motor movements

Question 3

Broca’s Area

Answer 3

• Brodmans 44,45

- programs pattenred movements of vocal apparatus for phonemes and words

Question 4

prefrontal cortex

Answer 4

Brodmans 9,10,46

-contributes to abstract thinking, problems solving, judgment (EFs)

Question 5

frontal lobe areas

Answer 5

• primary motor cortex
• premotor cortex
• broca’s
• prefrontal cortex

Question 6

parietal lobe

Answer 6

primary soamtosensory cortex (postcentral gyrus)

• angular gyrus
• supramarginal gyrus

Question 7

primary somatosensory cortex/ postcentral gyrus

Answer 7

Broddmans 3,1,2

-sensations analyzed, elaborated, connected with multiple stimuli from other parts of the brain

Question 8

angular gyrus

Answer 8

Broddmans 39

-translating written words to internal monologue (readig), writing, and language functions

Question 9

supramarginal gyrus

Answer 9

Broddmans 40
-same as angular, translates written words to internal monologue, writing, calculaton, right/left distinctions, and language functions like metaphors and abstraction

Question 10

temporal lobe

Answer 10

primary auditory cortex

wernicke’s area

Question 11

primary auditory cortex

Answer 11

Broddmans 41,42

-processes sound information

Question 12

wernicke’s area

Answer 12

Broddmans 22

-developing ana;ysis of auditory stimuli to point of comprehension

Question 13

Occitpital lobe

Answer 13

• primary visual cortex, Broddmans 17

- processes visual information

Question 14

Limbic system

Answer 14

• cingulate gyrus, hippocampus, amygdala

- so it supports functions including emotion, behavior, long-term memory, olfaction

Question 15

brainstem

Answer 15

-regulation of cardiac and respiratory functioning, consciousness, relaying info through cranial and spinal nerves

Question 16

Zone of Language

Answer 16

• region of left hemisphere associated with language
• located within distribution of MCA (why L MCA most often causes aphasia)
• incorpotates parts of frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes
