2. The somatic nervous system connects A. the small intestine to the pancreas and ensures the regulation of enzymes in the pancreas. B. the blood vessels to the lymph nodes to help in the formation of lymphocytes. C. nerve fibers to voluntary muscles and provides the brain with feedback about voluntary movement.

4. Which of the following statements is true about the medulla? A. It is responsible for the regulation of heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration. B. It is the largest portion of the brain, involved in higher-order intelligence, memory, and personality. C. It receives and interprets sensory impulses that come from the peripheral areas of the body. D. It contains the somatosensory cortex, in which sensations of touch, pain, temperature, and pressure are registered and interpreted. Accessibility: Keyboard Navigation
5. The _____ coordinates voluntary muscle movement, the maintenance of balance and equilibrium, and the maintenance of muscle tone and posture. A. cerebral cortex B. cerebellum C. pons D. medulla Accessibility: Keyboard Navigation

8. Which of the following is a function of the hypothalamus? A. It serves as a link between the hindbrain and the midbrain and helps control respiration. B. It is responsible for the regulation of heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration. C. It assists in the recognition of sensory stimuli and the relay of sensory impulses to the cerebral cortex. D. It helps transit thoughts generated in the cerebral cortex and assess their impact on internal organs. Accessibility: Keyboard Navigation
