Eyster- Brain Unit

What is the main function of the cerebrum?

• Relays motor and sensory signals to the cerebral cortex

• Performs higher functions like interpreting touch, vision, and hearing

• Regulates breathing and heart function

• Coordinates voluntary movements

Which part of the brain helps in maintaining posture and balance?

• Cerebellum

• Cerebrum

• Pons

• Medulla

What does the brain stem control?

• Voluntary movements

• Bodily functions that don’t require thought like heartbeat and breathing

• Interpreting sensory information

• Muscular activity

Which part of the brain is responsible for regulating sleep, alertness, and wakefulness?

• Midbrain

• Hypothalamus

• Pons

• Thalamus

What is the function of the medulla?

• Relays signals from the forebrain to the cerebellum

• Regulates motor movements

• Helps in speech and learning

• Helps regulate breathing, heart and blood vessel function

Which part of the brain is involved in motor movement and auditory and visual processing?

• Cerebellum

• Pons

• Cerebrum

• Midbrain

What is the role of the hypothalamus?

• Coordinates voluntary movements

• Regulates sleep and wakefulness

• Protects the central nervous system

• Links the nervous and endocrine systems to maintain body homeostasis

Which lobe of the cerebrum is responsible for interpreting vision?

• Frontal lobe

• Temporal lobe

• Parietal lobe

• Occipital lobe

What does the pons deal with primarily?

• Sleep, respiration, and muscular activity

• Learning, reasoning, and emotions

• Heartbeat and breathing regulation

• Sleep, respiration, swallowing, bladder control, and facial expressions

Which part of the brain coordinates voluntary movements such as posture, balance, and speech?

• Pons

• Medulla

• Cerebellum

• Cerebrum
