Question

The cerebral peduncles attach the cerebrum to the
A)pons
B)medulla
C)midbrain
D)insula
E)hypothalamus

Accepted Answer

The cerebral peduncles are located in the midbrain and attach the cerebrum to the pons, so the best choice is C. The other options are incorrect because the pons, medulla, insula, and hypothalamus are either located in different parts of the brain or are not directly connected to the cerebral peduncles in the same way that the midbrain is.
