Hello everyone. And in today's video we have the following problem which one of the following parts of the brain is involved in home in static control. And as we go through this problem I want you to keep in mind that this question is asking us for the part of the brain that is directly involved in home in static control. So it has mostly that function or specific to that function. So with that in mind we have a couple of answer choices. So let's recall what each of these answer choices do in terms of the function in the brain. Beginning by answer choice A which is going to be the cerebrum and the cerebrum is this huge portion of the brain that contains the frontal, parietal, occipital and temporal lobes. And so these have many functions. However the cerebral um is not specific to home static control. So we are going to cancel it out and move on to answer choice B medulla oblon gata that controls the heartbeat, breathing and blood pressure through sending signals in the body. However the middle of long gotta is not again and it's not directly related to homo static control. So we're going to cancel it out as well. Now this this cerebellum is involved in movement and physical balance. So it is what's making us not fall down as we walk. This is not really doesn't really have anything to do with homo static control. So we're going to cancel it out. Now the hypothalamus has many different functions such as controlling the circadian rhythm or just controlling water balance in the body or temperature balance. All of these balances in the body require, or are a part of homeostasis. So the hypothalamus is actually a portion of the brain that is directly involved with home, a static control, and we're going to highlight it as being our final answer. So thank you very much for sticking around until the end of this video, and I hope to see you on the next one.
