The brain is made up of three major parts. What are they?

• The occipital lobe, the parietal lobe, and the frontal lobe. 
• The spinal cord, the cerebrum, and the cerebellum. 
• The brain stem, the cerebrum, and the cerebellum. 

The frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes make up the_______

• brain stem.
• cerebrum.
• cerebellum. 

Which part of the brain coordinates the actions of muscles and helps you maintain balance?

• brain stem
• cerebrum
• cerebellum

What is the slender column of nervous tissue that is continuous with the brain and extends downward through the vertebral canal?

• Vertebral cord
• Spinal cord
• Longitudinal cord
• Brain tail

• frontal
• temporal
• occipital
• parietal

• Cerebrum
• Cerebellum
• Brain Stem
• Diencephalon

What functions does this lobe carry out?

• Hearing and auditory processing
• Vision and visual processing
• Processing fear
• Judgment, impulse control, planning, problem solving, and other executive functions

This lobe receives and processes visual information and then sends it to other parts of the brain for further processing and storage.

• Occipital Lobe
• Parietal Lobe
• Temporal Lobe
• Frontal Lobe
