Exam 7: Somatosensory,chemical,and Motor Systems

The ____________________ is probably involved in the emotional and motivational aspects of motor movement.

Nocioceptors respond to ____________________.

Unlike the ____________________ system,the auditory system receives input from both ears resulting in bilateral representation of sound.

Most sensory systems pass through which one of the following areas of the brain?

There are ____________________ types of receptors found on the skin and throughout the body.

The inability to recognize objects and/or people is known as agnosia.

Energy undergoes the process of ____________________ after receptor cells are activated by various environment stimuli.

Cranial nerves VII and IX are involved with:

The four cortical areas of the motor system include all of the following except:

The inability to recognize objects by touch is known as ____________________.

Taste receptors are not neurons.

The primary auditory cortex is:

Proprioceptors are to position of limbs as mechanical receptors are to stretching of blood vessels.

What condition is best described as a "remapping" of healthy neurons onto a brain area no longer served by the body?

The pattern theory of taste sensation suggests that taste receptors are dedicated to respond to a specific chemical.

Agnosia is an "absence of knowing" that can occur in which of the following domains?

Uncontrolled involuntary motor movements are also referred to as ____________________.

Describe and give clinical examples of two types of somatosensory dysfunctions and identify their associated damaged brain regions.

The kinesthetic sense of one's own body is supplied by vision,vestibular organs,and proprioceptive sense.

The inability to recognize objects and/or people is known as ____________________.
