Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
The parietal lobe is responsible for associating and processing sensory information that allows for functions such as following directions on a map, reading a clock, dressing self, keeping appoint-ments, and distinguishing right from left. 1. Emotional expression is associated with frontal lobe function. 2. Detecting auditory stimuli is a temporal lobe function. 3. Receiving visual images is related to occipital lobe function.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
The hypothalamus is responsible for regulation of sleep-rest patterns, body temperature, and physical drives of hunger and sex. None of the other structures are responsible for modulating these functions.
