A.Damage to the primary motor cortex results only in the loss of voluntary muscle control. B.Damage to the primary auditory cortex results in the inability to interpret pitch, loudness, and location. C. Damage to the premotor cortex results in loss of motor skills programmed in that area but movement is still possible.D. Damage to the visual association area results in blindness

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Explanation:

The premotor cortex is an area of motor cortex lying within the frontal lobe of the brain just anterior to the primary motor cortex. It occupies part of Brodmann's area 6. . If someone suffers a stroke, for instance, that causes damage to the primary motor cortex on one side of their brain, they will develop an impaired ability to move on the opposite side of their body. If the area of damage is specific to only part of the primary motor cortex, such as the hand area of the homunculus, it will affect movements only of the corresponding part of their body, for example, the hand.
