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
The nerve centres which control the body temperature and the urge for eating are contained in:
1. hypothalamus
2. pons
3. cerebellum
4. thalamus
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 |
Which part of the human brain is concerned with the regulation of body temperature?
1. Medulla oblongata
2. Cerebellum
3. Cerebrum
4. Hypothalamus
