Limbic system is concerned with
1. Components of cerebrum and diencephalon
2. Regulation of sexual behaviour
3. Emotional behaviour
4. All of these
Injury localized to the hypothalamus would most likely disrupt:
1. short-term memory
2. co-ordination during locomotion
3. executive functions, such as decision making
4. regulation of body temperature
Cerebral aqueduct passes through the:
1. Mid brain
2. Diencephalon
3. Hind brain
4. Spinal cord
Consider the characteristics of a certain part of the human brain:
I. It contains neurosecretory cells.
II. It is an important part of the limbic system.
III. It is a part of the diencephalons.
This part of the human brain is:
1. Hypothalamus
2. Medulla oblongata
3. Cerebellum
4. Amygdala
Hypothalamus does not contain centre for controlling
1. Body temperature
2. Hunger
3. Respiration
4. Osmoregulation
Which of the following statements are true regarding
association areas of brain?
A. These are the largest areas of forebrain.
B. These are involved in the regulation of sexual
behaviour, expression of emotional reactions
and motivation.
C. These are responsible for complex functions like
intersensory association, memory and
communication.
D. It is a part of cerebral cortex.
1. A & B
2. A, B & C
3. A, C & D
4. A & C
Which of the following structures or regions is
incorrectly paired with its function?
1. limbic system—screening of information between
the spinal cord and the brain; regulates arousal
and sleep
2. medulla oblongata—homeostatic control center
3. cerebellum—unconscious coordination of
movement and balance
4. corpus callosum—band of fibers connecting left
and right cerebral hemispheres
___A___ is a major coordinating centre for sensory and motor signaling present in the forebrain of the central nervous system. Here ‘A’ is:
1. Association area
2. Thalamus
3. Pons
4. Hypothalamus
_________integrates information received from semicircular canals of ear and _______ regulates emotional reactions with limbic system.
1. Cerebral cortex, Midbrain
2. Cerebellum, Midbrain
3. Cerebral cortex, Hypothalamus
4. Cerebellum, Hypothalamus
Select the answer with correct matching of the structure, its location and function:
A | B | C | |
1. | Cerebellum | Mid brain | Controls respiration and gastric secretions |
2. | Hypothalamus | Fore brain | 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 sides of tympanic membrane |
