Question

Column I list the parts of the human brain and column II lists the functions. Match the two columns and identify the CORRECT choice from those given.

Column I	Column II
A. Cerebrum	p. Controls the pituitary
B. Cerebellum	q. Controls vision and hearing
C. Hypothalamus	r. Controls the rate of heartbeat
D. Midbrain	s. Seat of intelligence
	t. Maintains body posture

• A. $A \, = \, t, \, B= \, s, \, C \, = \, q, \, D \, = \, p$
• B. $A \, = \, s, \, B= \, t, \, C \, = \, q, \, D \, = \, p$
• C. $A \, = \, t, \, B= \, s, \, C \, = \, p, \, D \, = \, q$
• D. $A \, = \, s, \, B= \, t, \, C \, = \, p, \, D \, = \, q$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The largest part of the brain located in the front of the skull is the cerebrum. It is divided into two hemisphere and is responsible integration of complex sensory and neural functions. It is the main centre for storage of information, memories and intelligence.
One of the major structures of the hindbrain is the cerebellum (little brain). It is responsible for the voluntary motor movements in a co-ordinated manner and also involved in the balance and posture of an individual. The information received by the sensory system is processed by the cerebellum to give the motor output like balancing.
Mesencephalon, composed of the tectum and tegmentum of the developing vertebrate brain, is also called as midbrain. This part of the brain plays an important role in movement functions, particularly movements of the eye. Also, helps in auditory and visual processing.
A small section located at the base of brain near pituitary is called as hypothalamus. Hypothalamus plays a crucial role in various important functions. It controls the activity of pituitary gland, regulates body temperature.
