What is the function of the pons?

• Relaying signals between the cerebellum and the cerebrum, and regulating sleep.

• Producing hormones that regulate metabolism.

• Controlling voluntary muscle movements.

• Processing visual information from the eyes.

What is the primary function of the parietal lobe?

• Processing sensory information such as touch, temperature, and pain.

• Regulating emotions and memory.

• Controlling voluntary movements and coordination.

• Managing visual and auditory processing.

What is the thalamus responsible for?

• Acting as a relay station for sensory information.

• Regulating body temperature.

• Producing hormones for growth.

• Controlling voluntary muscle movements.

What does the occipital lobe primarily process?

• Auditory information.

• Visual information.

• Tactile information.

• Olfactory information.

What is the significance of the brain stem?

• It controls basic life functions such as breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure.

• It is responsible for higher cognitive functions like thinking and reasoning.

• It regulates emotional responses and social behavior.

• It serves as the primary site for memory storage.
