Solution

The correct option is C

a. hindbrain, b. hindbrain, c. forebrain, d. forebrain


a. Hindbrain. The cerebellum is located at the back of the head. Its function is to coordinate voluntary muscle movements and to maintain posture, balance, and equilibrium.

b. Hindbrain. The medulla oblongata is located in the lower portion of the brainstem. It maintains heart rate and blood pressure. It's responsible for many reflexes in the body or involuntarily controls, such as vomiting, sneezing, and coughing.

c. Forebrain. Hunger is partly controlled by a part of your brain called the hypothalamus, your blood sugar (glucose) level, how empty your stomach and intestines are, and certain hormone levels in your body. Fullness is a feeling of being satisfied.

d. Forebrain. The cerebrum, the large, outer part of the brain, controls reading, thinking, learning, speech, emotions and planned muscle movements like walking. It also controls vision, hearing and other senses.
