2018 Neural Control and CoordinationHuman brain – parts and functions Medium Question 19 of 61 in Neural Control and Coordination

Which of the following structures or regions is incorrectly paired with its functions?

A Hypothalamus : production of releasing hormones and regulation of temperature, hunger and thirst.
B Limbic system : consists of fibre tracts that interconnect different regions of brain; controls movement.
C Medulla oblongata : controls respiration and cardiovascular reflexes.
D Corpus callosum : band of fibers connecting left and right cerebral hemispheres.

The answer is B.

Solution

The limbic system regulates emotion, not movement.

The limbic system is the emotional brain. It controls emotions in our body but not movements. So the limbic system is incorrectly paired.
