• Brain Stem

• Cerebrum

• Cerebellum

Which part of the brain is responsible for balance and coordinated movements?

• Thalamus

• Hypothalamus

• Cerebellum

• Cerebrum

What is the primary function of the cerebrum?

• Homeostasis

• Motor control

• Conscious thought and voluntary movement

• Balance

Which structure in the diencephalon is important for motor control?

• Cerebellum

• Brain Stem

• Hypothalamus

• Thalamus

What does the hypothalamus regulate?

• Sensory stimuli

• Homeostasis

• Muscle tension

• Balance

What do proprioceptors provide information about?

• Body position and movement

• Chemical levels

• Blood pressure

• Heart rate

What do chemoreceptors detect?

• Joint movement

• Muscle tension

• Chemical changes

• Pressure changes

What is hypoxia?

• Increased hydrogen ions

• Increased carbon dioxide

• Lowered oxygen availability

• Decreased blood pressure

Where are baroreceptors located?

• In the cerebellum
