(a)

Summary Introduction

To name: The cerebral cortex area that directs perception.

Introduction: Brain is the most important and complex part of the nervous system. The brain of vertebrates consists of three major divisions, which are forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. The outermost region of the brain is termed as forebrain, the middle region is called midbrain, and the innermost part is known as the forebrain. The forebrain contains an area known as the cerebrum, which is composed of the cerebral cortex.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To name: The cerebral cortex area that directs movement.

Introduction: Nervous system is a system in the body that helps in the transfer of information from one part to the other. The body parts communicate with each other and with the external environment through the nervous system. Brain is the most important organ in the nervous system. Brain guides all the other organs in the body. Humans have the most complex brain. Cerebral cortex is a part of the brain.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To name: The cerebral cortex area that integrates information and directs voluntary behaviors.

Introduction: Forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain are the three major parts of the brain. Every part performs a unique function and helps in the normal functioning of the brain. The cerebral cortex is present inside the forebrain region. The cerebral cortex is divided into three major parts, which are the sensory area, the motor area, and the association areas.

(a) Make a rough drawing of the lateral aspect of the left cerebral hemisphere. (b) You may be thinking, “But I just can’t draw!” So, name the hemisphere involved with most people’s ability to draw. (c) On your drawing, locate the following areas and provide the major function of each: primary motor cortex, premotor cortex, somatosensory association cortex, primary somatosensory cortex, visual and auditory areas, prefrontal cortex, Wernicke’sand Broca’s areas.
Review the functional regions of the cerebral cortex by matching each description with the appropriate letter in the figure below: 1. Receives information from cutaneous and musculoskeletal receptors   2. Interprets information from cutaneous and musculoskeletal receptors   3. Receives information from hair cells in the ears   4. Interprets information from hair cells in the ears   5. Plans skeletal movements   6. Issues commands that "tell" which muscles to contract
