Question

Colette burned her finger on a plate that just came out of the microwave. The instant she touched the plate, she felt the painful burn. Which part of the brain allows her to have these sensations?

A.) brain stem

B.) frontal lobe

C.) cerebellum

D.) parietal lobe

Answer 1

Its actually the parietal lobe. It is responsible for sensory information such as pressure, touch, and pain. The frontal lobe is responsible for behavior, personality, learning, and your voluntary movements.

Answer 2

The correct option is D

The parietal lobe is, within the cerebral lobes, the one that occupies the area that falls under the parietal bone, that is, in the middle and lateral parts of the head, the largest among those that form the skull. This is the brain area that is especially responsible for receiving the sensations of touch, heat, cold, pressure, pain, and coordinate the balance.
