What function is associated with the cerebrum?

  1. Equilibrium

  2. Main relay between spinal cord and cerebellum

  3. Regulates heartbeat and respiration

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: None of the above

The correct answer is D. "None of the above." The cerebrum is associated with higher brain functions such as thought, memory, emotion, and reasoning, making it responsible for processes like language, problem-solving, and decision-making. Equilibrium is primarily controlled by the cerebellum, not the cerebrum. The main relay between the spinal cord and cerebellum is the pons, not the cerebrum. The regulation of heartbeat and respiration is controlled by the brainstem, specifically the medulla oblongata, not the cerebrum.
