Question 4 of 5
Which lobe is most closely associated with visual processing?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The occipital lobe is the primary area of the brain responsible for visual processing. It contains the visual cortex, which processes information from the eyes and interprets it as images. Damage to the occipital lobe can result in visual impairments, such as blindness or difficulty recognizing objects. The occipital lobe works in conjunction with other brain regions to integrate visual information with other sensory inputs.
Question 5 of 5
Which area of the brain-stem controls heart rate and breathing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The medulla oblongata, located in the brainstem, controls vital autonomic functions such as heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure. It contains centers for regulating respiration and cardiovascular activity, making it essential for survival. Damage to the medulla can be life-threatening, as it disrupts these critical functions. The medulla also plays a role in reflexes like swallowing and vomiting.
