Question

question
which of the following statements regarding the postcentral gyrus is true?
answer
the neurons found within its cortex are pyramidal cells.
it is found in the frontal lobe.
its surface contains the primary motor cortex.
its surface contains the primary sensory cortex.
i dont know yet

Explanation:

• The postcentral gyrus is located in the parietal lobe, not the frontal lobe. So the statement "It is found in the frontal lobe" is false.
• The primary motor cortex is in the precentral gyrus, not the postcentral gyrus. So the statement "Its surface contains the primary motor cortex" is false.
• Pyramidal cells are mainly in the precentral gyrus (motor cortex). So the statement "The neurons found within its cortex are pyramidal cells" is false.
• The postcentral gyrus is the location of the primary sensory cortex. So the statement "Its surface contains the primary sensory cortex" is true.

Answer:

Its surface contains the primary sensory cortex.
