B
Damage to the cerebellum causes problems with balance, and motor impairment is directly related to the amount of destruction of the motor strip. The hypothalamus controls temperature. The thalamus controls the five senses: hearing, seeing, taste, smell, and touch. The medulla oblongata is part of the brainstem and controls breathing, heart rate, and digestion.
