Concept explainers
Hearing is interpreted in the lobe of the cerebrum.
a. frontal
b. occipital
c. parietal
d. temporal
Introduction:
The cerebrum is a portion of the brain that contains the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, basal ganglia, and olfactory bulb. In the humans, the cerebrum occupies the topmost location in the central nervous system. The functions of the cerebrum are interpreting touch, vision, emotions, learning, speech, and hearing.
Answer to Problem 1PL
Correct answer:
Option (d), temporal lobe.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (d) is temporal lobe. The temporal lobe interprets the auditory perception, that is, hearing. Hence, this option is correct.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (a) is frontal lobe. This lobe is the control panel for the humans, as it controls a person’s personality and his ability to communicate with people. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option (b) is occipital lobe. This lobe interprets the visual information, depth perception, face recognition, and color determination. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option (c) is parietal lobe. It functions to process visual information, mathematical problems, and language. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option (d), temporal lobe.
