Monique sticks her left hand into a hot tub heated to about 43 C (110 F) in order to decide if she wants to enter. Trace the pathway involved in transmitting the sensation of heat from her left hand to the somatosensory area in the cerebral cortex.
A patient has had a stroke that damaged the trigeminal nerve but not the facial, glossopharyngeal, or vagus nerve.Would this individual still be able to taste the difference between hot peppers and French fries? Explain your answer
A 20-year-old woman is brought to the emergency department 30 minutes after being found unconscious in her dormitory room. Part of the physical examination involves observing for conjugate eye movements after carefully opening the patient's eyelids and turning the head to the right and then to the left. The presence of this reflex suggests that the neural pathway from which of the following receptors is intact?
A) Anterior semicircular canals
B) Horizontal semicircular canals
C) Posterior semicircular canals
D) Saccule
E) Utricle
