Biology - Neural Control and Coordination Question with Solution | TestHub
Select the mismatched pair regarding different parts of brain with their functions.
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
Medulla oblongata contains centres which control respiration, cardiovascular reflexes and gastric secretions.
Cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements and maintains posture and balance, acting as a regulatory centre for neuromuscular activities.
Hypothalamus contains centres which control body temperature, urge for eating and drinking.
Corpus callosum is a tract of nerve fibres that connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres. It does not connect the lateral ventricles to the diocoel. The connection between the lateral ventricles and the diocoel (third ventricle) is the foramen of Monro. The thalamus is often referred to as the relay centre or gatekeeper of the cerebrum.
Therefore, the mismatched pair is Corpus callosum.
Answer: Corpus callosum — gate keeper of cerebrum connecting lateral vetricles to diocoel.
