Question

In the diagram of the lateral view of the human brain, parts are indicated by alphabets. Select the answer in which these alphabets have been correctly matched with the parts which they indicate:

• A. A = Temporal lobe, B = Parietal lobe, C = Cerebellum, D = Medulla oblongata, E = Frontal lobe
• B. A = Frontal lobe, B = Temporal lobe, C = Cerebrum, D = Medulla oblongata, E = Occipital lobe
• C. A = Temporal lobe, B = Parietal lobe, C = Cerebrum, D = Medulla oblongata, E = Frontal lobe
• D. A = Frontal lobe, B = Temporal lobe, C = Cerebellum, D = Medulla oblongata, E = Parietal lobe

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The three major parts of the brain are the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. Thalamus, hypothalamus, and cerebrum constitute the forebrain. The pituitary is controlled by the hypothalamus. A major part of the forebrain is made by the cerebrum, and it is the seat of intelligence. In between the thalamus or hypothalamus and pons of the hindbrain, the midbrain is located. Pons, medulla, and cerebellum which are responsible for body posture constitute the hindbrain. The cerebrum is divided into the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe. The corpus callosum is a fibrous structure that connects the right and left hemispheres of the brain.
Thus, the correct answer is: A = Frontal lobe, B = Temporal lobe, C = Cerebellum, D = Medulla oblongata, E = Parietal lobe
