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

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

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The Limbic system (including the amygdala and hippocampus) is primarily involved in emotional behavior, motivation, and memory. Voluntary movement is primarily controlled by the motor cortex and the cerebellum. Fibre tracts interconnecting regions is more descriptive of the general white matter or specific tracts like the Pons.
