Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Areas involved in the perception of nerve impulses for proprioception are
A
frontal association area.
B
primary somatosensory.
C
common integrative area.
D
somatosensory association.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The primary somatosensory cortex (SI) consists of the postcentral gyrus and posterior paracentral lobule. The secondary cortex (SII) resides in the operculum of the parietal cortex. The posterior (superior) parietal cortex and part of the superior temporal gyrus contains the somatosensory association area.

Detailed explanation-2: -Two areas near the base of the brain-the cerebellum and the brainstem-are heavily involved in coordinating proprioception inputs and outputs. Most of the time, we respond without having to think about it, and we are often unaware of these ongoing adjustments.
