Multiple Choice

Which of the following is a true statement about the cerebrum?

The cerebrum is located in the brainstem and controls reflex actions.

The cerebrum is the smallest part of the brain and is involved in balance and coordination.

The cerebrum is primarily involved in regulating heart rate and breathing.

The cerebrum is responsible for voluntary motor functions and cognitive abilities.

Verified step by step guidance

Identify the location and function of the cerebrum in the brain. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain, located in the upper part of the cranial cavity.

Understand the primary functions of the cerebrum. It is responsible for higher brain functions, including voluntary motor activity, sensory perception, and cognitive abilities such as thinking, reasoning, and memory.

Differentiate the cerebrum from other parts of the brain. The brainstem, for example, is involved in basic life functions like heart rate and breathing, while the cerebellum is involved in balance and coordination.

Evaluate the statements given in the problem. The first statement incorrectly associates the cerebrum with the brainstem and reflex actions. The second statement incorrectly describes the cerebrum as the smallest part of the brain. The third statement incorrectly attributes heart rate and breathing regulation to the cerebrum.

Conclude that the correct statement is that the cerebrum is responsible for voluntary motor functions and cognitive abilities, aligning with its known functions and characteristics.
