Transcript text: The front area of the cerebral hemisphere is termed as the:
temporal lobe.
parietal lobe.
frontal lobe.
thalamus.
Solution
The answer is the third one (or C): the frontal lobe.
Explanation for each option:
Temporal lobe: This lobe is located on the sides of the brain and is primarily involved in processing auditory information and is also important for memory and emotion.
Parietal lobe: This lobe is located near the top and back of the brain and is involved in processing sensory information such as touch, temperature, and pain.
Frontal lobe: This lobe is located at the front of the cerebral hemisphere and is associated with higher cognitive functions such as reasoning, planning, problem-solving, and controlling behavior and emotions.
Thalamus: This is not a lobe but a structure located deep within the brain that acts as a relay station for sensory and motor signals to the cerebral cortex.
Summary:
The front area of the cerebral hemisphere is termed as the frontal lobe.
