Question
Answer
What are Sensory Pathways?   Ascending Spinal Tracts, consolidating information from UNMIXED Sensory units --> Specific Areas of Cerebral Cortex  
🗑
What are 2 examples of Sensory Pathways?   ANTERIOR Spinothalamic Pathways, LATERAL Spinothalamic Pathways  
🗑
What are 3 characteristics of ANTERIOR Spinothalamic Pathways?   1. carry TOUCH and PRESSURE sensation; 2. A-fibers, well-myelinated Neurons; 3. AP Velocity: 70-120 m/s  
🗑
What are 3 characteristics of LATERAL Spinothalamic Pathways?   1. carry TEMPERATURE and some PAIN sensations; 2. C-fibers, poorly-myelinated Neurons; 3. AP Velocity: 1-20 m/s  
🗑
What would happen if an injured Heat Receptor grew back as a Pressure Receptor?   Pressure interpreted as Heat  
🗑
What determines a Stimulus' INTESITY?   the NUMBER of active Sensory Units and the FREQUENCY of incoming Sensory AP's  
🗑
Is Stimulus Intensity infinite?   there is limit to how much is perceivable  
🗑
What does the Thalamus determine?   CRUDE localization  
🗑
How does the Thalamus determine localization?   by which Sensory Pathways are active  
🗑
What does the Primary Sensory Cortex determine?   PRECISE localization  
🗑
How does the Primary Sensory Cortex determine localization?   Sensory Areas are MAPPED out - POSTERIOR to the Central Sulcus on the Cerebral Cortex  
🗑
How is the exact location of a stimulus determined?   by COMPARING the relative Activity and Inactivity of adjacent Sensory Units  
🗑
Which areas of the Somatosensory Cortex are the largest?   areas devoted to the parts used to interact with the environment  
🗑
What are the 2 functions of the Parietal Association Cortex?   1. provides information regarding Previous Experience; 2. evaluates Shape/Texture and determines Implication  
🗑
What is the function of the Frontal Association Cortex and Limbic System?   adds Emotional and Motivational elements  
🗑
What is Stimulus Peripheral Projection?   mental. Assignment of stimulus to its proper External Location  
🗑
What influences Stimulus Peripheral Projection?   bilateral COMPARISON of the stimulus ARRIVAL times in the Brain and their relative INTESITIES  
🗑


   

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.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
