Exam 12: Integration of Nervous System Functions

Which descending tract carries impulses for coordination of fine hand movements?

Which cortical area is necessary for understanding and formulating coherent speech?

Touch is a general somatic sense.

Seventy-five to eighty-five percent of the corticospinal tracts will decussate in the

The anterior spinothalamic tract is an ascending, motor tract.

The face has a smaller surface area on the somatic sensory cortex than the torso.

Where is it determined which muscles would need to contract for a particular motion to occur?

What are the deepest touch receptors in the skin?

The spinothalamic tracts carry

What type of stimulus is NOT associated with free nerve endings?

Proprioception to the cerebrum is contralateral and conscious, while proprioception to the cerebellum is ipsilateral and unconscious.

The medial lemniscal system is named for the ribbon-like appearance of the pathway as it passes through the diencephalon.

Explicit memories are accessed from the

The anterior corticospinal tracts supply all levels of the body.

Motor impulses begin in the basal nuclei and cerebellum.

What type of receptors are involved in vision?

Cerebral motor cortex connection to the cerebellum is

In the majority of the population, the right cerebral cortex is most involved in speech and mathematical functions.

The comparator function of the spinocerebellum corrects differences between intended movement and actual movements for smooth, coordinated movements.

Awareness of body position and movement is
