answer-inferior
precentral gyrus
superior, middle, and inferior gyri
central sulcus
all are part of what region of the brain? - correct answer-frontal lobe
premotor area is responsible for what? - correct answer-planning and execution of
movements
sensory neurons of the skin, muscles and joints, along with motor neurons that innervate
skeletal muscle, all make up the ______ nervous system - correct answer-somatic
subcortical components of the _______ perform diverse motor, cognitive, and emotional
functions - correct answer-forebrain
the ___ is the bottom of the brainstem and consists of cranial nuclei and unconscious
reflexes - correct answer-tegmentum
the ___ is the uppermost part of the midbrain and is responsible for eye movement control
and hearing - correct answer-tectum
the ____ are a system of membranes which envelopes the central nervous system and
primarily functions in protecting the brain or the CNS - correct answer-meninges
the ____ temporal gyrus could be related to recognition of faces and word meanings -
correct answer-middle
the _____ pathway is also called the motor pathways because they carry impulses to
muscles to initiate movement from the CNS - correct answer-efferent
the ______ is known for its role in eye movement control - correct answer-pons
(metencephalon)
the ______ plays a part in the regulation of eye and limb movements, as well as maintaining
posture and balance, and motor control - correct answer-cerebellum (metencephalon)
the _______ is known for its role in blood pressure and respiratory regulation (involuntary
functions) - correct answer-medulla (myelencephalin)
the calcarine fissure contains what? - correct answer-primary visual cortex
the division of the autonomic nervous system that is referred to as "Fight or Flight" and
speeds everything up - correct answer-sympathetic nervous system
