Damage to which area below would result in the inability to perform precise hand movements?
A)Broca's area
B)somatosensory cortex
C)premotor cortex
D)postcentral gyrus
E)Wernicke's area

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The premotor cortex plays a crucial role in the planning, coordination, and execution of movements, including fine motor movements of the hand. Damage to this area can result in the inability to perform precise hand movements. Broca's area is involved in speech production, Wernicke's area in language comprehension, the postcentral gyrus in somatosensory processing, and thus damage to these areas would not result in the inability to perform precise hand movements.
