Rationale: The cerebrum does comprise ~80% of brain mass, has a convoluted gray matter cortex, and is the telencephalon. However, it has four lobes per hemisphere (frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital), not 'four paired lobes' as a distinct entity, making B false.

Question 2 of 4

Which brain structure-autonomic function pairing is incorrect?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The corpus callosum connects cerebral hemispheres and has no autonomic role like blood pressure regulation. Pons and medulla regulate respiration, thalamus relays pain, and hypothalamus controls temperature.
