Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the primary functions associated with each lobe of the brain: frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital.
Understand that the occipital lobes are located at the back of the brain and are primarily responsible for processing visual information.
Recognize that controlling voluntary muscle movements is primarily a function of the frontal lobes, particularly the motor cortex.
Acknowledge that interpreting auditory signals is mainly a function of the temporal lobes, which are located on the sides of the brain.
Note that regulating heart rate is an autonomic function controlled by the brainstem, not the occipital lobes.
