Which of the following structures or systems is correctly paired with its function? Answer Peripheral nervous system - releases hormones and controls emotions Neurons - brain cells that control thoughts, calculations, and memory Cerebellum - portion of the brain that controls body movement Central nervous system - processes information and controls responses

This one's a bit tricky...I think your best bet would be to go with the safest choice, even though many of the seem plausible. We can eliminate choice 1, as the PNS serves to relay information from the CNS out to the body and vice versa. Hormone release seems more of an endocrine function. Choice 2 - while neurons are indeed brain cells, I felt something was a bit off about the wording. It seems to imply that neurons individually control such complex pathways such as memory....I left it as a choice, though. Choice 3 - the cerebellum plays a crucial role in coordinating balance, but does NOT actually control the movement of the body. So, this one's out. Choice 4 was a straightforward fact about the function of the CNS; nothing obscure or hidden (unlike choice 2). Thus, I would go with this one.

And you were correct it was choice 4 thanks!
