KROK 1 2009 – Question 159 · KROK (Medicine) · Human Anatomy
After a craniocerebral trauma a patient lost the ability to execute learned purposeful movements (apraxia). The injury is most likely localized in the following region of the cerebral cortex:
- A. Gyrus supramarginalis
- B. Gyrus parahippocampalis
- C. Gyrus lingualis
- D. Gyrus angularis
- E. Gyrus paracentralis
Hint
Apraxia is not paralysis; ask which area of the dominant hemisphere's cortex takes part in planning learned movements, and compare it with areas for vision, memory and primary motor function.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
