Q

Motor Speech Area (Broca Area)

A

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

What areas are located in the Temporal Lobe

A

Primary Auditory Cortex
Wernicke Area
Primary Olfactory Corex

18
Q

Primary Auditory Cortex

A

Interprets/distingushes sounds

Stores Auditory memories

19
Q

Wernicke Area (Temporal Lobe)

A

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

20
Q

Primary Olfactory Cortex

A

Processes smell information and provides conscious awareness of smells

21
Q

Area of Occipital Lobe

A

Primary Visual Cortex

22
Q

Primary Visual Cortex

A

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

23
Q

Areas located in Insula

A

Primary Gustatory Cortex

24
Q

Insula

A

Deep to the lateral sulcus and involved with memory

25
Primary Gustaory Cortex
Involved in processing taste information
26
Receptors Definiton
A receptor is a structure that converts a sensory stimulus to a nerve impulse
27
Types of Receptors
Exteroceptors, Interoceptors, Propioceptors
28
Exteroceptors
Near surface of body Stimuli from outside environment Some are cutaneous receptors (Skin) Special Senses (Sight, Smell, Taste)
29
Interoceptors
Primary stretch receptors in smooth muscle of blood vessels and viscera
30
Proprioceptors
Provides infromation about muscles, joints, and tendons Sends information to cerebellum Involves joint receptors, muscle spindles
