Question

Which of the following statements is a false or incorrect statement?

a. Damage to the primary auditory cortex results in the inability to interpret pitch, loudness, and location.
b. Damage to the primary motor cortex results only in the loss of both voluntary muscle control and reflexes.
c. Damage to the premotor cortex results in loss of motor skills programmed in that area but the movement is still possible.
d. Damage to the primary visual cortex results in functional blindness.

Answer 1

Damage to the primary motor cortex results only in the loss of both voluntary muscle control and reflexes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Option d. Damage to the primary visual cortex results in functional blindness.

Step-by-step explanation:

The primary visual cortex is a specialized visual area of the brain. It is located in the posterior lobe of the occipital lobe. It is the simplest and most accessible area of the cortical visual area. The region caries a highly specialized processing center for static and moving objects. The damage to the region causes blindness only to the region that is responsible visual field that focuses on a particular hemisphere. Thus, d is the correct answer.
