Question

While taking a break from studying, you want to get a glass of ice water. As you fill your glass with ice, one cube falls on the floor. As we are all thinking of cleanliness at this time, you pick it up right away. As you pick it up, it feels cold. You know that a [A] neuron (functional classification) carries an action potential to the [B] cortex of the brain to produce the perception of cold. To walk over and put the ice cube in the sink, muscles receive action potential from [C] neurons (functional classification). These action potentials originate in the [D] cortex in the [E] lobe of the brain. The [F] produces action potentials to support your balance while walking over to the sink.

While sitting at your desk, studying anatomy and physiology, you need to check something in your textbook because the memory of it is not stored in your [A]. You reach into your bag and feel for your anatomy textbook, you choose the correct book because your [B]association area knows the texture, weight and size of that book. Your [C] cortex initiates action potentials that go to your skeletal muscles to pick up the book. Before you look up the answer to your question you decide to walk over to the fridge for a snack. You don’t have to think about the process of walking because your [D] nucleus knows the pattern for walking. You open the fridge and take a swig of orange juice, your [E]cortex perceives that the taste is sweet. While you are at the fridge, your dog knocks the book off the table and it makes a loud sound. You quickly turn your head towards the noise because of your [F]. Because you are so stressed, you are initially angry at your dog which is controlled by the [G]and you yell “no”. The action potentials for choosing the word “no” are located in the [H]area. The action potentials for saying “no” come from [I] area. However, once you stop and think about it, you decide that it is not worth being angry at the dog this thought process and reasoning happens in the [J]cortex.
