This question asks, a child has experienced nervous system damage and can no longer coordinate the movements to dribble a basketball, although she can still walk in an uncoordinated fashion.
00:10
Which region of the central nervous system was most likely affected? the forebrain, the midbrain, the hind brain, or the spinal cord? well, this question is going to test our knowledge of the different brain regions and what they are responsible for.
00:25
So the hind brain is going to be responsible for balance and motor coordination.
00:42
So would we need balance and motor coordination for dribbling a basketball? yes, we would.
00:48
So that is why we see that the coordination and balance functions are going to be diminished.
00:56
This is all due to the fact that there is going to be some sort of impairment in the hind brain.
01:02
So that makes choice see the correct answer.
01:05
But let's just take a look at the other answer choices just to get a better understanding of what each region does...
