location
function
primary somatosensory   post-central gyrus of parietal lobes   receives input from somatic sensory receptors in skin and muscles  
🗑
primary visual   posterior tip of occipital lobe   receives visual info from retina  
🗑
primary auditory   superior temporal lobe   receives input from cochlear receptors  
🗑
primary gustatory   parietal lobe   perception of taste  
🗑
primary olfactory   medial surfaces of temporal lobe   receives impulses from olfactory receptors and gives awareness of odor  
🗑
primary motor   pre-central gyrus of frontal lobe   conscious control over skeletal muscles  
🗑
Broca's speech   anterior and inferior to pre-motor cortex   motor speech area  
🗑
somatosensory association   posterior to primary somatosensory   integrate and analyze sensory input to complete picture of what is being felt  
🗑
visual association   surrounds primary visual cortex   interprets and evaluates stimuli  
🗑
auditory association   inferior to primary auditory   integrates and interprets sound information  
🗑
Wernicke's area   posterior temporal lobe of left hemisphere   understanding of spoken and written language  
🗑
common integrative   parts of temporal, parietal and occipital lobes   "knowing" area  
🗑
premotor   anterior to primary motor cortex   controls learned motor skills  
🗑
frontal eye field area   anterior to premotor; superior to Broca's area   controls voluntary eye movement  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
