Brain Functions Quiz Pt. 3

Which brain region is responsible for all reasoning, planning, memory, and sensory processing?

• Cerebrum

• Corpus callosum

• Frontal lobes

• Motor cortex

What is the function of the corpus callosum?

• Connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres

• Responsible for voluntary control of skeletal muscles

• Receives information about smells from the nose

• Responsible for visual perception

Which brain region is responsible for planning, initiated movements, social and emotional processing, attention, memory retrieval and storage?

• Cerebrum

• Corpus callosum

• Frontal lobes

• Motor cortex

What is the function of the motor cortex?

• Connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres

• Responsible for voluntary control of skeletal muscles

• Receives information about smells from the nose

• Responsible for visual perception

Which brain region receives information about smells from the nose and sends it to the brain?

• Cerebrum

• Corpus callosum

• Olfactory bulbs/tracts

• Parietal lobes

What is the function of the parietal lobes?

• Responsible for sensing touch, spatial processing, language, and memory

• Responsible for visual perception and involved in some forms of visual, short-term memory

• Receive visual stimuli from the eyes and relay this information to the visual cortex

• Responsible for processing smell and sound, as well as the ability to recognize and understand words and language

Which brain region is responsible for sensing touch, pressure, vibration, pain, temperature, and taste?

• Cerebrum

• Corpus callosum

• Parietal lobes

• Occipital lobes

What is the function of the occipital lobes?

• Responsible for sensing touch, spatial processing, language, and memory

• Responsible for visual perception and involved in some forms of visual, short-term memory

• Receive visual stimuli from the eyes and relay this information to the visual cortex

• Responsible for processing smell and sound, as well as the ability to recognize and understand words and language

Which brain region receives visual stimuli from the eyes and relays this information to the visual cortex?

• Cerebrum

• Optic nerves and chiasm

• Temporal lobes

• Auditory cortex

What is the function of the temporal lobes?

• Responsible for sensing touch, spatial processing, language, and memory

• Responsible for visual perception and involved in some forms of visual, short-term memory

• Responsible for processing smell and sound, as well as the ability to recognize and understand words and language

• Responsible for balance, movement, and coordination
