What part of the brain serves as the relay station for receiving information form the sense organs and sending it to the cerebral cortex for processing?
The Thalamus receives the information. It is then relayed to the post-central gyrus of the cerebrum on which you can map the human body. This is called the sensory humunculus (or little human).
Is the hypothalamus is the area where afferent impulses from all senses and all parts of the body are sorted out and relayed to the appropriate area of the sensory cortex?
False
What do you think th ear controls?
Hearing and balance. The ear doesnt control anything, it is a sensory organ only. It does though sense sound and gravitational pull, the senses of hearing and balance. The information is receives is relayed to the brain which controls movements to adjust balance.
What special senses is relayed directly to the cerebral cortex without going to the thalamus?
Its smell Information goes to olfactory cortex of the frontal lobe without going through the thalamus. Its the only major sense that does not go through the thalamus
What is the auditory pathway for sound transduction to the brain?
When hair cells within the cochlea are stimulated by sound wave vibrations, they stimulate nearby sensory neurons of the spiral ganglion. The signals then get sent to the cochlear nerve and then to the vestibulocholear nerve (CN VII). These signals then get sent to the cochlear nucleus of the medulla oblongata which then get relayed to the inferior colliculus of the midbrain. These signals then get sent to the thalmus where they are relayed to the auditory cortex where specific areas process the pitch and frequency of the sound. The reflexatory response to sound is directed by the inferior colliculus (ie turn head toward sound) Actually, there are two errors in your answer. First: it is vestibulocochlear Second: it is cranial nerve VIII

What is the main purpose of the brainstem?
Brainstem regulates the breathing, heart rate, sleeping and etaing. All information relayed from the body to the cerebrum and cerebellum and vice versa.And the brainstem transveres it.

Who helped japan bomb Pearl Harbor?
it is said a dentist overlooking the harbour relayed information required information
What part of the brain receives messages?
ThalamusIf you are referring to outside stimulus that are sensory messages, all stimuli, except smell, go to the thalamus in the brain which is then relayed to the cerebral cortex.
Are the black picks relayed?
yes they are relayed
What is the role of the thalamus in hearing vision taste and smell?
It is the part of the brain whose function includes relaying sensation, special sense and motor signals to the cerebral cortex, along with the regulation of consciousness, sleep and alertness.It acts as a kind of railway signal box. As information comes in through the senses, it goes directly to the thalamus and it sends the signals off to different parts of the railway yard (brain). It will send the signal to the cortex, or rational part of the brain and to the limbic or emotional brain at the same time. Although the limbic system will react to the stimulus a lightning split second quicker than the cortex, often sending people into flight or fight when it's not really appropriate in the present circumstances.--1. Thalamus acts as a relay station for both afferent and efferent fibres of the cerebral cortex. ]2. Along with the hypothalamus, it helps in sleep and wakefullness.3. Along with the cerebellum & basal ganglia, it helps in maintaining body posture.The thalamus is a by-station from the sensory organs to the cerebral cortex sensory regions. It has a somatosensory mapping of the body and has known integrative functions.There is also a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. It is the "leader" of the endocrine system. It controls what and where the hormones do and go and when they go at a certain time---One of the functions of the thalamus is to relay sensory information by transmitting axons to other regions of the cerebral cortex. Such as: the sense of touch is relayed to the parietal lobe, the sense the sight is relayed to the occiptal lobe, the sense of hearing is relayed to the temporal lobe, and the sense of balance is relayed to the cerebellum. The thalamus does NOT relay the sense of smell to the temporal lobes though.---The thalamus is the gateway to the brain that is responsible or receiving almost all incoming sensory information before the information reaches the cortex. Axons from every sensory system, except for olfaction, synapse in the thalamus as a last pit stop before the information reaches the cerebral cortex.The functions of the thalamus include relaying sensory and motor signals to and from the cerebral cortex, regulating consciousness, sleep, and alertness.The thalamus is a by-station from the sensory organs to the cerebral cortex sensory regions.

It controls what and where the hormones do and go and when they go at a certain time http://www.answers.com/thalamus receives messages from all of the sensory receptors throughout the body and then relays the info to the proper region of the cerebrum for further processing.A small glandular organ that is situated behind the top of the breastbone, consisting mainly of lymphatic tissue and serving as the site of T cell differentiation. The thymus increases gradually in size and activity until puberty, becoming vestigial thereafter.It relays information from different parts of the brain.it is part of your brain. it is the relay for sensory impulses. it shows what is pleasant and unpleasant.The thalamus is a major relay center. All incoming sensory information except smell goes through the thalamus, before reaching the cerebral cortex. (And even smell has a pathway connecting to the thalamus.) The actual processing of the sensory information starts here, this is especially true about vision. It also participates in the regulation of sleep, arousal and wakefulness, and plays a role in motor functions as well.
What is the system each organ is part of and state its role?
Neurological system. Sensory messages travel along the neural pathway from each organ to the Central Nervous System where action is relayed back to the organ.
The most important function of nucleic acids is?
storing information relayed to heredity and protein synthesis.
How do you spell relayed?
That is the correct spelling of the past tense of to relay, "relayed".
Can police do a complete background check from their car?
Pretty much. They get information direct from the main database relayed to them in real time, in a number of ways.
