The functional parts of forebrain are:

Correct answer: C. Cerebrum, limbic system and thalamus

  • A. Thalmus and limbic system
  • B. Thalamus and cerebrum
  • C. Cerebrum, limbic system and thalamus
  • D. Cerebrum and limbic system

Explanation

The forebrain contains the cerebrum, limbic system, thalamus, pituarity gland and the olfactory bulb. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and is responsible for many of the higher-order functions of the brain, such as thinking, learning, and feeling emotions. The limbic system is a group of brain structures that are involved in emotion, behavior, and long-term memory. The thalamus is a relay station for sensory information. It receives sensory information from the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin and sends it to the cerebrum. The thalamus also plays a role in pain perception and wakefulness.

About Coordination and Control

Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
