Which part of the brain connects to the spinal cord?

Brain Stem
Cerebellum
Frontal lobe
Temporal lobe

The correct answer is: Brain Stem

The spinal cord is an integral part of the central nervous system that connects the brain to the rest of the body. It is housed within and protected by the spinal column. While all parts of the brain play vital roles in various bodily functions, the brain stem is the only structure that directly connects to the spinal cord. The cerebellum, frontal lobe, and temporal lobe are also important regions of the brain, but they are not physically connected to the spinal cord. Therefore, the brain stem is the correct answer to this question.
