Exploring the Human Brain

What is the approximate weight of the human brain?

• One pound

• Two pounds

• Three pounds

• Four pounds

Which part of the brain is responsible for automatic functions like breathing and heartbeat?

• Cerebral cortex

• Cerebellum

• Brain stem

• Parietal lobe

What is the primary function of the cerebellum?

• Speech formation

• Coordinating movement

• Processing sensory information

• Understanding visual information

Which lobe of the cerebral cortex is responsible for processing sensory information, particularly the sense of touch?

• Frontal lobe

• Parietal lobe

• Occipital lobe

• Temporal lobe

Which lobe is primarily involved in understanding and reacting to visual information?

• Frontal lobe

• Parietal lobe

• Occipital lobe

• Temporal lobe

Where is the temporal lobe located in the brain?

• At the front of the brain

• At the rear of the brain

• In the lower part of the cortex, near the ears

• On top of the brain stem

Which lobe of the cerebral cortex is the largest?

• Frontal lobe

• Parietal lobe

• Occipital lobe

• Temporal lobe

What functions are controlled by the frontal lobe?

• Movement, speech formation, and reasoning

• Processing sensory information

• Understanding visual information

• Listening and memory storage

What might happen if the frontal lobe is damaged?

• Loss of vision

• Changes in social and emotional behaviors

• Inability to process sensory information

• Difficulty in understanding spoken words

Which part of the brain is essential for human-specific functions like thinking, remembering, and dreaming?

• Cerebellum
