Question

Which part of the brain controls intellectual ability?
A. Frontal lobe
B. Parietal lobe
C. Temporal lobe
D. Occipital lobe

Answer 1

Hint: The human brain is very important as it controls every aspect of the human body from cognitive abilities to physiological functions. The brain along with the spinal cord is responsible for thoughts, origin of control of movements of the body and interpretation.

Complete answer:
The human brain is enclosed within the skull which is also known as bone box. There are three important parts of the brain,
1. Forebrain
2. Midbrain
3. Hindbrain

Option A: Frontal lobe is involved in the controlling of intellectual activity of the brain. Therefore, this is the incorrect option. It is also very important for voluntary movements, problem solving, social and sexual behaviour, judgement, etc.

Option B: Parietal lobe is involved in two functional regions - one is involved in perception and the other is involved in sensation. It's another function is to process information related to sense of touch.

Option C: The temporal lobe is present behind the ear and it is majorly involved in processing the auditory information and it also has a role in memory.

Option D: Occipital lobe is involved in visual processing of the brain and it is also associated with colour determination, face and colour recognition and memory formation.

Thus, the correct option is A) Frontal lobe.

Note: The function of different parts of brain are,
1. Forebrain - It is the largest part of the brain and helps in controlling reproductive function, emotions, hunger and sleep.
2. Midbrain - It is the smallest and also the central part of the brain.
3. Hindbrain - It is the lower part of the brain and is involved in important processes like - breathing, hartbeat, motor learning, etc.
