Which of the following statements is true regarding the structure of the brain?
A
The frontal lobe is responsible for balance and coordination.
B
The brainstem controls basic life functions such as breathing and heart rate.
C
The cerebellum is responsible for processing visual information.
D
The occipital lobe is primarily involved in auditory processing.
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the main functions associated with each part of the brain mentioned in the statements: frontal lobe, brainstem, cerebellum, and occipital lobe.
Understand that the frontal lobe is primarily involved in higher cognitive functions such as decision making, problem-solving, and controlling voluntary movements, not balance and coordination.
Recognize that the brainstem is responsible for controlling basic life functions, including breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure, making the statement about the brainstem correct.
Know that the cerebellum is involved in coordinating voluntary movements, balance, and posture, rather than processing visual information.
Understand that the occipital lobe is primarily responsible for processing visual information, not auditory processing, which is mainly handled by the temporal lobe.
