Which part of the brain is responsible for thermoregulation?

  • Hypothalamus

  • Corpus callosum

  • Medulla oblongata

  • Cerebrum


A.

Hypothalamus

Hypothalamus in the thermoregulatory centre of our brain. It is responsible for maintaining constant body temperature.


Which of the following statements is correct?

  • Cornea consists of dense connective tissue of elastin and can repair itself.

  • Cornea is convex, transparent layer which is highly vascularised.

  • Cornea consists of dense matrix of collagen and is the most sensitive portion the eye.

  • Cornea is an external, transparent and protective proteinacious covering of the eye-ball.


C.

Organ of Corti is found in

  • heart

  • kidneys

  • inner ear

  • nasal chamber


C.

inner ear

Organ of Corti are found in cochlear channel (internal ear) and are responsible for hearing. Ear is concerned both with hearing and balance, semicircular canals are responsible for balance when body is in motion.


If medulla oblongata is destroyed then which of the following functions will be effected

  • No thermoregulation

  • No vision

  • No memory

  • No response when pricked with needle


D.

No response when pricked with needle

Medulla oblongata is part of the vertebrate brain stem, derived from the hindbrain, that is continuous with the spinal cord. Its function is to regulate the reflex responses controlling respiration, heart beat, blood pressure, and other involuntary processes. It gives rise to many of the cranial nerves.
