4. Corpus callosum : band of fibers connecting left and right cerebral hemispheres.

Best answer

Answer: 3. Limbic system : consists of fibre tracts that interconnect different regions of brain; controls movement.

Key idea: Find the pair whose function is wrongly stated.

  • Medulla oblongata controls respiration, heart rate and reflexes. Correct.
  • Hypothalamus makes releasing hormones and controls temperature, hunger and thirst. Correct.
  • Corpus callosum joins the two cerebral hemispheres. Correct.
  • The limbic system (with the hypothalamus) controls emotions, memory, sexual behaviour and motivation. It is not the centre for controlling movement, so this pairing is wrong.

Answer: option 3.
