Functional Areas of Cerebrum (Diagram)

Premotor Area (a)

A. Frontal lobe
B. Where motor functions are organized before initiation

Primary Motor Cortex (b)

A. Frontal lobe
B. Initiates and controls voluntary movements through its control of skeletal muscles

Central Sulcus (c)

Separates Frontal lobe from Parietal lobe

Primary Somatosensory Cortex (d)

A. Area of the parietal lobe where messages from the sense receptors are registered.
B. Post-central Sulcus

Reading Center (e)

Angular Gyrus, Parietal Lobe

Visual Cortex (f)

Receives and process' sensory nerve impulses from eyes

Visual Association Area (g)

Located in occipital lobe; recognize and evaluate what is seen

Wernicke's Area (h)

Area responsible for language comprehension

Auditory Cortex (i)

A. Area that is responsible for hearing and language.
B. Interprets sound in both hemispheres

Broca's Area (j)

Motor speech area
in frontal lobe, controls production of speech / language
