Understanding the Structure of the Brain: Examining Cerebral Cortex, Cerebellum, and Medulla Oblongata

The video explains the brain's role in controlling behaviors and bodily functions. It covers the cerebral cortex, responsible for memory and intelligence, the cerebellum, which manages balance and coordination, and the medulla oblongata, which controls vital unconscious activities like breathing and heart rate.

What is the primary role of neurons in the brain?

• To regulate emotions

• To produce hormones

• To transmit electrical impulses

• To store memories

Which part of the brain is responsible for memory and language?

• Cerebellum

• Medulla oblongata

• Brainstem

• Cerebral cortex

How is the cerebral cortex divided?

• Into multiple layers

• Into three sections

• Into two hemispheres

• Into four lobes

What function does the cerebellum primarily control?

• Balance and posture

• Language processing

• Breathing

• Heart rate

Which part of the brain regulates unconscious activities like heart rate?

• Cerebellum

• Medulla oblongata

• Thalamus

• Cerebral cortex
