Question

Janelle is preparing to audition for a position in her community dance company. She has been practicing a series of dance steps from a performance she did the previous year. What two major parts of her brain will be most active as she practices? Thalamus and pituitary gland Hypothalamus and brain stem Cerebellum and the temporal lobe Medulla oblongata and pons

Answer 1

Answer:

Cerebellum and the temporal lobe

Explanation:

The cerebellum is a structure responsible for the coordination of reflexes and voluntary movements. It is also responsible for muscle tone, capturing the sensory impulses of muscles, tendons and joints, as well as visual and balance stimuli. Therefore, the action of the cerebellum is essential for dance because of its muscle control and balancing action.

In addition, the temporal lobe also has important functions for dance, being responsible for auditory perception, smell, memory formation and image interpretation, helping in the memorization of dance steps and interpretation of songs.
