The part of the brain that has the most effect on maintenance of homeostasis is:
1. | thalamus | 2. | hypothalamus |
3. | infundibulum | 4. | mammillary body |
A funnel shaped structure, the infundibulum, connects hypothalamus and:
1. | anterior pituitary | 2. | posterior pituitary |
3. | pineal gland | 4. | thalamus |
The neurons of the olfactory epithelium extend from the outside environment directly into olfactory lobes. The olfactory lobes are the extensions of:
1. | Pre-frontal cortex | 2. | Corpus callosum |
3. | Corpora quadrigemina | 4. | Limbic system |
Select the answer with correct matching of the structure, its location and function.
Structure |
Location |
Function |
|
1. |
Cerebellum |
Midbrain |
Controls respiration and gastric secretions |
2. |
Hypothalamus |
Forebrain |
Controls body temperature, urge for eating and drinking |
3. |
Blind spot |
Near the place where optic nerve leaves the eye |
Rods and cones are present but inactive here |
4. |
Eustachian tube |
Anterior part of internal ear |
Equalizes air pressure on either side of tympanic membrane |
1. | Medulla oblongata | Gastric secretions |
2. | Hypothalamus | Control of body temperature |
3. | Limbic system | Behaviour |
4. | Association areas | Purely sensory areas in the cerebrum |
Identify the incorrect match:
1. | Reticular formation | Gatekeeper to consciousness |
2. | Thalamus | Major relay centre in diencephalon for messages to the cortex |
3. | Superior colliculi | Part of limbic system for emotional behaviour |
4. | Pons | Part of hindbrain having nuclei for control of breathing rate |
