- In the ___, neurons are arranged like maps that correspond to different parts of the body surface. a. retina b. somatosensory cortex c. basilar membrane d. occipital lobearrow_forwardAccording to the somatotopic map of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1), the amount of sensory information received is proportional to the size of the body part it maps to. True O Falsearrow_forwardWhat are the main pathway(s) for immediate reaction to something that is suspicious? Descending auditory cortico-thalamic pathway to the basilar nucleus Ascending retina-thalamic pathways to the amygdala Ascending dorso-medial thalamic sensory pathways to the amygdala Superior colliculus to the mastication musclesarrow_forward
- The cell bodies for somatosensory receptors from the body are located in what structure? the dorsal horn O the dorsal root ganglion the dorsal column the medial lemniscusarrow_forwardAll sensory organs relay information through the thalamus but not in the same way. How does the pathways of information from sensory organs to the primary sensory vortices and organization differ between the 3 systems? How are they the same? You may focus on one of the somatosensory pathways (touch or pain/ temp)arrow_forwardWhich of the following words is not associated with the spinoreticular tract? pain cutaneous receptors descending tracts dorsal root ganglion all of the above are associatedarrow_forward
- What are characteristic for the ascending sensory pathways: Non-classical pathways use ventral and medial nuclei in the thalamus The thalamus in classical pathways project directly to the lateral nucleus of the amygdala. The thalamus in classical pathways project to primary sensory cortices. Non-classical pathways do not activate the autonomic nervous system.arrow_forwardThe sensory system is involved in all except Initiation of reflex movement Initiation of voluntary movement Learning process Initiation of emotional responsearrow_forwardA lesion to the medial lemniscus results in what type of sensory loss? Ipsilateral TPV C1 down Contralateral TPV C1 down Ipsilateral loss of pain and temperature C1 down Ipsilateral loss of pain and temperature L1 down Contralateral TPV and CP proprioception at L1 A lesion to the left anterior corticospinal tract at T3 would result in which of the following loss? Ipsilateral unconscious proprioception from T3 down Contralateral unconscious proprioception from T3 down Ipsilateral unconscious proprioception at T3 Ipsilateral unconscious proprioception from L1 down Contralateral unconscious proprioception from L1 down A lesion of the dorsal root ganglion at L4 would result in which of the following?

- Which of the following nerve fibers exhibits EFFERENT nerve function? Group of answer choices: Facial nerve receiving gustatory impulses from the tongue Trochlear nerve activating extraocular muscles Optic nerve carrying photo signals Trigeminal nerve sending pain, touch and temperature sensations from your face to your brainarrow_forwardIf a human suffers a hand amputation as an adult, what will happen to the area of the somatosensory cortex that previously received information from the lost hand? The projections from the hand will still be there, but will be inactive. The projections from the hand will die, and that area of the cortex will be empty. Projections from the face and neighboring limb will expand to control that cortical area. That cortical area will die.arrow_forwardFollowing administration of an opiate drug, "pain signals" are prevented from getting out of the spinal cord via two mechanisms. One inhibits spinal cord neurons that communicate with the parafascicular nucleus of the thalamus. What is the other way that pain signals are stopped? dendro-dendritic synapses that enhance IPSI's in somatosensory neurons. the disinhibition of long axons that start in the spinal cord and influence free nerve endings directly. O a feedback loop to the periaquedictal grey of the midbrain, which enhances neural activity in that area. axo-axonic synapses that prevents somatosensory neurons from releasing neurotransmitter.arrow_forward
