The area of the brain located in the parietal lobe, responsible for processing information from sensory receptors on the skin is the <u>somatosensory cortex</u>.

<h3>What is somatosensory cortex?</h3>

It is that brain area responsible for processing and treating information of a sensory nature that comes from the skin, muscles and joints.

<h3>Characteristics of somatosensory cortex</h3>

  • It receives and interprets all the information that comes from the tactile system.

  • Sensations of pain, temperature, pressure, as well as the ability to perceive the size, texture, and shape of objects are perceived by this section of the cerebral cortex.

Therefore, we can conclude that the sensory receptors receive information from the outside regarding touch, pain and temperature and transmit it to the somatosensory cortex.

Arrange the events in the correct order to describe how the magnetic field forms around Earth.
horsena [70]
The correct sequence of events is : C,D,B,A.
Iron rich magma in the earth's core heats up because of radiation and the pressure exerted by the other layers of the earth. This heat in the crust trigger convection currents in the mantle. The magma closest to the core will be hotter and therefore less dense than other layers. Being less dense the layer will rise towards the crust, eventually becoming cooler and sinking back down in a circular motion.
The continued circular motion creates electric currents which then generates the magnetic field.
