What are brodman areas?
The brodmann area is a part of the cerebral cortex of the human brain. These areas are responsible for motor cortex, visual cortex, and auditory cortex.
Why is the cortex wrinkled?
The folds of the brain cortex increase the surface area. Because the processing of the brain is done in the cortex, having an increased surface area allows for more processing power.
What best represents the motor areas of the cortex?
Primary motor cortex, premotor cortex, Broca's area and frontal eye field
Where is the Location of auditory and vestibular cortex?
Auditory cortex is in the temporal lobe lateral fissure area.
What is a single cell in the brain?
Answerthe speechAnswerBrocas area= speechGustary cortex= tasteAuditory= hearingMotor cortex= movementssensory cortex= touchwernickes area= speechouter visaul= sightPrimary visaul cortex= sightPremotor cortex= planning movementfrontal cortex=awarnessThe correct name for a brain cell is "Neuron". And the Pre-frontal Cortex is involved with Meta-thinking. I have no idea what the guy above me was answering...
Frontal section through the kidney will reveal on outer area called the cortex and an inner area known as what?
medulla
How is the cortex different from the medulla in the kidney?
The cortex of the kidney is the outer layer containing medullary rays (striations formed by tubules) and medullary lobules (cortical tissue). This region also contains the main filtration mechanisms: renal (Malphighian) corpuscles that contain glomeruli (capillary tufts). The red/brown color is due to the blood within the many capillaries of this area.
What is the corticomedullary junction?
Kidney contain two major anatomical areas which are distinct in appearane and function,cortex(outer) and medulla(inner).Their junctional area is cortico-medullary junction.
What are facts about the human brain?
Some parts of the brain are the cerebral cortex , medulla oblongata , thalamus and the outer portion of the brain is the sensory area.
The Brain area that regulates activities that control the state of wakefulness or alertness of the cerebral cortex?
the brain area that regulated activities that control the state of wakefulness or alertness of the cerebral cortex is the
What are extra-pyramidal centers?
premotor area of cerebral cortex (area 6)corpus striatum (caudate & lentiform nuclei)subthalamic nucleus (in subthalamus)red nucleus (in midbrain)substantia nigra (in midbrain)inferior olivary nucleus (in medulla)nuclei of reticular formation (in brainstem)
What are brodman areas?
The brodmann area is a part of the cerebral cortex of the human brain. These areas are responsible for motor cortex, visual cortex, and auditory cortex.
What is the target organ of ACTH?
It is a hormone, so the target area is blood. It transfers to different organs through the blood.
What is the chemosensitive area of the brain located at?
Medulla
What represent the motor areas of the cortex?
Primary motor cortex, premotor cortex, Broca's area and frontal eye field
How do kindneys work?
the kidneys are made up of medulla and the cortex. the cortex is the lighter exterior, while the medulla is an area made up of feathery like structures closer to the center which are attached to the ureter. Inside the kidneys are millions of nephrons which filter the blood. they do this by having blood build up a high pressure in the glomerulus ( a ball of capillaries) so that the small molecules ( water,glucose,etc) are forced thorugh into the bowman's capsule while the blood cells and proteins stay, as they are too big to be filtered. :)
Why is the cortex wrinkled?
The folds of the brain cortex increase the surface area. Because the processing of the brain is done in the cortex, having an increased surface area allows for more processing power.
