What is meant by somatotopy?
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The definition of somatotopy.
Introduction:
The central nervous system communicates with body structures through pathways. These pathways conduct either sensory or motor information. The processing and integration of sensory and motor information occur continuously along with them.
Explanation of Solution
Somatotopy is a precise correspondence of receptors in body regions, through axons, to specific functional areas in the cerebral cortex. For example, the pathways that connect the parts of the primary motor cortex to a specific body part exhibit somatotopy. Somatotopy is also present in the sensory homunculus on the primary somatosensory cortex of the postcentral gyrus.

✓ Details
Draw a protein that is embedded in a membrane (a transmembrane protein), label the lipid bilayer and the protein. Identify the areas of
the lipid bilayer that are hydrophobic and hydrophilic.
Draw a membrane with two transporters: a proton pump transporter that uses ATP to generate a proton gradient, and a second
transporter that moves glucose by secondary active transport (cartoon-like is ok). It will be important to show protons moving in the
correct direction, and that the transporter that is powered by secondary active transport is logically related to the proton pump.
drawing chemical structure of ATP. please draw in and label whats asked. Thank you.

Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below. Note that carriers are not indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele.
