Explanation

The correct term for the anatomical location "Lateral Sulcus" is C.

Submit
5. MATCH THE CORRECT TERM WITH THE CORRECT ANATOMICAL LOCATION.SPINAL CORD

Explanation

The correct term "SPINAL CORD" is matched with the correct anatomical location "J".

6. MATCH THE CORRECT TERM WITH THE CORRECT ANATOMICAL LOCATION.PARIETAL LOBE

Explanation

The correct term "Parietal lobe" matches with the correct anatomical location "F".

Submit
7. MATCH THE CORRECT TERM WITH THE CORRECT ANATOMICAL LOCATION.POSTCENTRAL GYRUS

Explanation

The correct answer is D. The postcentral gyrus is a region in the brain located in the parietal lobe, specifically in the primary somatosensory cortex. It is responsible for processing and interpreting sensory information from the body, such as touch, temperature, and pain.

Submit
8. MATCH THE CORRECT TERM WITH THE CORRECT ANATOMICAL LOCATION.CENTRAL SULCUS

Explanation

The correct term for the given anatomical location is "H".

Submit
9. MATCH THE CORRECT TERM WITH THE CORRECT ANATOMICAL LOCATION.PARIETO-OCCIPITAL SULCUS

Explanation

The correct term "Parieto-occipital sulcus" matches with the correct anatomical location B. Unfortunately, without further context or information, it is not possible to provide a more detailed explanation.

12. THE BROCA'S AREA IS ONLY FOUND ON ONE HEMISPHERE OF THE BRAIN, SO IF DAMAGED WOULD IMPAIR THE ABILITY OF AN INDIVIDUAL TO SPEAK.

Explanation

The statement is true because the Broca's area, which is responsible for language production and speech, is indeed found on only one hemisphere of the brain, typically the left hemisphere in right-handed individuals. If this area is damaged, it can result in a condition known as Broca's aphasia, where the individual has difficulty speaking and forming coherent sentences.

14. MATCH THE CORRECT TERM WITH THE CORRECT ANATOMICAL LOCATION.PONS

Explanation

The correct anatomical location for the term "PONS" is A. The pons is a structure located in the brainstem, specifically in the upper part of the brainstem, between the midbrain and the medulla oblongata. It plays a crucial role in relaying signals between various parts of the brain, including the cerebrum and the cerebellum.

Submit
15. THIS AREA RECEIVES SENSORY INPUT FROM SENSORY RECEPTORS FROM TOUCH.

Explanation

Option E is the correct answer because it is stated that "THIS AREA RECEIVES SENSORY INPUT FROM SENSORY RECEPTORS FROM TOUCH." This suggests that the area being referred to is responsible for processing touch sensations. The other options (A, B, C, D, and F) are not mentioned in the given information, so they are not the correct answer.

Submit
16. GREY MATTER HAS MANY CELLS CONTAINING MYELIN SHEATH WHICH GIVE IT ITS GREY COLOR.

Explanation

Grey matter does not contain cells with myelin sheath. Myelin sheath is found in white matter, which is responsible for the white color of that region of the brain. Grey matter, on the other hand, gets its grey color from the presence of neuronal cell bodies, dendrites, and synapses.

Submit
17. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING AREAS IS PRIMARILY INVOLVED IN INTELLECTUAL REASONING AND SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR?

Explanation

The anterior association area is primarily involved in intellectual reasoning and socially acceptable behavior. This area of the brain is responsible for higher cognitive functions such as problem-solving, decision-making, and social behavior. It helps in integrating information from various sensory modalities and coordinating complex behaviors. The posterior association area is more involved in perception and recognition of sensory stimuli, while Broca's area is responsible for language production. The occipital lobe is primarily involved in processing visual information.

Submit
18. THIS AREA IS THE RESPONSIBLE FOR MOVING YOUR RIGHT ARM.

Explanation

This area is responsible for moving your right arm. The given answer, A, is likely referring to the primary motor cortex located in the left hemisphere of the brain. This region controls voluntary movements of the body, with each hemisphere controlling the opposite side of the body. Therefore, the primary motor cortex in the left hemisphere is responsible for controlling movements of the right arm.

Submit
19. THIS AREA IS THE MOTOR SPEECH.

Explanation

Submit
20. THIS AREA ALLOWS YOU TO TASTE.

Explanation

The given correct answer is C because it is the only option that is grammatically correct and makes sense in the context of the statement. The phrase "THIS AREA ALLOWS YOU TO TASTE" suggests that there is a specific area where one can experience or sample different flavors or sensations. Option C, "Tasting", is the only option that accurately represents this idea.
