Q143 / 180 · NEET 2018 · Zoology

Which of the following structures or regions is incorrectly paired with its function?

  • A
    Hypothalamus : Production of releasing hormones and regulation of temperature, hunger and thirst
  • Correct answer
    B
    Limbic system : Consists of fibre tracts that interconnect different regions of brain; controls movement
  • C
    Medulla oblongata : Controls respiration and cardiovascular reflexes
  • D
    Corpus callosum : Band of fibers connecting left and right cerebral hemispheres

Solution

The limbic system is the part of the brain involved in our behavioural and emotional responses, especially when it comes to behaviours we need for survival: feeding, reproduction and caring for our young, and fight or flight responses.

The cerebellum, which lies below the cerebrum just above the brain stem, coordinates the body's movements.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
