- 21 Which of the following is a distinction among the three neuroanatomical regions of the primary somatosensory cortex? options: Each region receives input from a particular tract in the somatosensory system. Despite each region being a different size, there are no functional differences among the regions. Only one of the regions receives input directly from the dorsal root ganglion. 22 Two of the regions are responsible for the somatosensory system, but the third responds to the vestibular system.
