The "homunculus" constructed on the basis of somatosensory representations in the human primary somatosensory cortex

Biology
1 answer:
Drupady [299]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct answer is -

a. has a grossly enlarged face and hands compared to torso and limbs

c. is distorted because of the disproportionate representation of certain body parts relative to others in the somatosensory cortex

Explanation:

" Homunculus" is a graphical representation of a small but fully grown man which the foetus is believed to develop whereas somatosensory homunculus is a neurological representation of the brain of humans that shows the motor and sensory functions of the body.

It has a large number of sensory nerves from the hand that take a large part of the brain. The face also has many nerve endings and are represented by large areas of the homunculus. A distorted look comes from this uneven representation of different body parts in the homunculus.
