Question

question 2 of 10
if this part of our brain were damaged, we could no longer breathe on our own.

a. midbrain
b. corpus callosum
c. forebrain
d. hindbrain

Explanation:

The hindbrain (specifically the medulla oblongata, part of the hindbrain) controls vital involuntary functions like breathing. The midbrain is involved in sensory and motor functions, the corpus callosum connects brain hemispheres, and the forebrain is for higher - order functions. So damage to the hindbrain would affect the ability to breathe on one's own.

Answer:

D. Hindbrain
