d. Temporal - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔
Which statement concerning the areas of the brain is true?
a. The cerebellum is the center for speech and emotions.
b. The hypothalamus controls body temperature and regulates sleep.
,c. The basal ganglia are responsible for controlling voluntary movements.
d. Motor pathways of the spinal cord and brainstem synapse in the
thalamus. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔b. The hypothalamus controls body
temperature and regulates sleep.
The hypothalamus is a vital area with many important functions: body
temperature controller, sleep center, anterior and posterior pituitary gland
regulator, and coordinator of autonomic nervous system activity and
emotional status. The cerebellum controls motor coordination, equilibrium,
and balance. The basal ganglia control autonomic movements of the body.
