Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes make up the ____
A
brain stem.
B
cerebrum.
C
cerebellum.
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cerebrum consists of two cerebral hemispheres the outer layer called the cortex (gray matter) and the inner layer (white matter). There are four lobes in the cortex, the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe.

Detailed explanation-2: -Four lobes make up the cerebral cortex: the frontal lobe, the parietal lobe, the temporal lobe, and the occipital lobe. Each lobe has a distinct function.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Parietal Lobes are located behind the frontal lobes and above the temporal lobes. One of their main functions is to allow us to make sense of things we touch – for example, whether an object is smooth or sharp, firm or soft. The parietal lobes also tell us where our body is in relation to the objects around us.

Detailed explanation-4: -The frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes cover the brain’s surface (see figure Lobes of the brain. ); the insula is hidden under the Sylvian fissure. The limbic lobe (limbic system) is a C-shaped area on the most medial edge of each cerebral hemisphere; it includes some parts of the adjacent lobes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cerebrum: is the largest part of the brain and is composed of right and left hemispheres. It performs higher functions like interpreting touch, vision and hearing, as well as speech, reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine control of movement. Cerebellum: is located under the cerebrum.
