Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A) – (III), (B) – (IV), (C) – (I), (D) – (II)
The human brain has three main parts: the forebrain (cerebrum and diencephalon), the midbrain and the hindbrain (cerebellum, pons and medulla oblongata); each controls its own set of functions.
(A) Cerebrum — this matches (III) Intelligence. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and the seat of thinking, memory, reasoning and intelligence; it also controls voluntary actions.
(B) Diencephalon — this matches (IV) Heat, cold and pain control. It is made of the thalamus, which relays sensations of pain, heat and cold to the cerebrum, and the hypothalamus, which controls body temperature.
(C) Cerebellum — this matches (I) Involuntary muscular co-ordination. It co-ordinates muscle movements and keeps posture and balance, without our being aware of it.
(D) Medulla oblongata — this matches (II) Regulate heart rate. It controls involuntary actions such as the heartbeat, breathing and blood pressure.
