Solution

Brain:

The brain is an organ of the body that works as the coordinating centre. It is one of the two parts of the central nervous system (CNS). The other part of the CNS is the spinal cord. There are three parts of the brain called Forebrain, Midbrain and Hindbrain.

Cerebrum:

It is the largest portion of the brain and a part of the forebrain. The cerebrum serves as the centre for receiving sensory stimuli and a centre of intelligence and memory.

Cerebellum:

It is the second-largest portion of the brain and is a part of the hindbrain. It helps in the coordination of muscular activities of the body.

Thus, the cerebrum and cerebellum belong to the forebrain and the hindbrain, respectively.
