Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The thalamus acts like a triage nurse by receiving and directing sensory information to the appropriate areas of the brain for processing, similarly to how a triage nurse determines the urgency and directs patients to the appropriate medical care. The other options (fast food menu, stop sign, bus stop) do not accurately depict the function of the thalamus.
