Which brain structure is responsible for relaying nearly all the somatosensory input to the cerebrum?
A
Thalamus
B
Cerebellum
C
Hypothalamus
D
Medulla oblongata
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of the brain structures listed: the Thalamus, Cerebellum, Hypothalamus, and Medulla oblongata.
Recall that the Thalamus acts as a relay station for sensory information, directing signals to the appropriate areas of the cerebrum.
Recognize that the Cerebellum primarily coordinates motor control and balance, not sensory relay.
Know that the Hypothalamus regulates autonomic functions like hunger, thirst, and temperature, rather than sensory input relay.
Identify that the Medulla oblongata controls autonomic functions such as breathing and heart rate, but does not relay somatosensory input to the cerebrum.
