Question 5
Which of these areas interprets sharp sensations?
a. Corticospinal tract, medulla, and basal ganglia
b. Pyramidal tract, hypothalamus, and sensory cortex
c. Lateral spinothalamic tract, thalamus, and sensory cortex
d. Anterior spinothalamic tract, basal ganglia, and sensory cortex
Question 6
Which of the following is the best explanation why a patient
with a lack of oxygen to his heart will have pain in his chest
and in the shoulders, arms, or jaw?
a. A problem exists with the sensory cortex and its ability to
discriminate the location.
b. The lack of oxygen i n his heart has resulted in decreased
amount of oxygen to the areas experiencing the pain.
c. The sensory cortex does not have the ability to localize pain
in the heart; consequently, the pain is felt elsewhere.
d. A lesion has developed in the dorsal root, which is
preventing the sensation from being transmitted normally.
