Which part of the brain is responsible for higher cognitive functions such as thinking, reasoning, and problem-solving?
Correct answer: C. Cerebrum
- A. Medulla oblongata
- B. Cerebellum
- C. Cerebrum
- D. Hypothalamus
Explanation
The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain, divided into two hemispheres that control high-level functions like conscious thought, voluntary movement, sensory processing, memory, and emotions. It is divided into four lobes (frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital) and is responsible for conscious actions, processing what the senses pick up, and complex cognitive processes like language and reasoning.

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.
