Question

Which of the following cerebral areas is not correctly matched with its function? a. occipital lobe- vision b. parietal lobe-somatosensory area c. temporal lobe- primary motor area d. frontal lobe- -Broca's motor speech area

Short answer

The incorrect cerebral area-function match is c. temporal lobe - primary motor area. The primary motor area is located in the frontal lobe, while the temporal lobe is responsible for auditory processing.

Step-by-step solution

Identify the functions of each cerebral area

The first step in solving this exercise is to understand the functions associated with each listed cerebral area: a. occipital lobe - vision b. parietal lobe - somatosensory area c. temporal lobe - primary motor area d. frontal lobe - Broca's motor speech area

Compare the given functions to their correct matches

Now we will see if the given functions match the corresponding cerebral areas: a. occipital lobe - vision: The occipital lobe is indeed primarily responsible for vision. This match is correct. b. parietal lobe - somatosensory area: The parietal lobe contains the primary somatosensory cortex, which processes sensory information from the body. This match is also correct. c. temporal lobe - primary motor area: The temporal lobe is responsible for processing auditory information, not motor functions. This match is not correct. d. frontal lobe - Broca's motor speech area: The frontal lobe contains Broca's area, which is responsible for the production of speech. This match is correct.

Identify the incorrect match

Based on the comparisons in Step 2, the incorrect cerebral area-function match is: c. temporal lobe - primary motor area The primary motor area is actually located in the frontal lobe, while the temporal lobe is responsible for auditory processing.
