Questions and Answers

What is the largest part of the human brain?

  • The brainstem
  • The cerebellum
  • The cerebrum (correct)
  • The thalamus
  • Which lobe of the cerebrum is associated with executive functions?

  • The frontal lobe (correct)
  • The occipital lobe
  • The parietal lobe
  • The temporal lobe
  • How are the two cerebral hemispheres connected?

  • By the pons
  • By the medulla oblongata
  • By commissural nerve tracts, including the corpus callosum (correct)
  • By the spinal cord
  • Study Notes

    • The cerebrum is the largest part of the human brain
    • It consists of two cerebral hemispheres
    • Each hemisphere has an inner core of white matter and an outer cortex of grey matter
    • The cortex has an outer neocortex and an inner allocortex
    • Each hemisphere is divided into four lobes: frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital
    • The frontal lobe is associated with executive functions
    • The occipital lobe is dedicated to vision
    • Cortical areas within each lobe are associated with specific functions
    • The left and right hemispheres have some functional differences
    • The hemispheres are connected by commissural nerve tracts, including the corpus callosum.
