Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The cerebral hemispheres are connected by nerve tract known as corpus callosum. 
Statement II: The brain stem consists of the medulla oblongata, pons and cerebrum. 
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
• C. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
• D. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Statement I is correct: The corpus callosum is the nerve tract that connects the cerebral hemispheres.

Statement II is incorrect: The brainstem consists of the medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain, not the cerebrum. The cerebrum is part of the forebrain, not the brainstem. 

Thus, the correct answer is: Statement I is correct, Statement II is incorrect.

Answer 2

Evaluating Statements about Brain Structure:

• Statement I: Correct – The corpus callosum connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres.
• Statement II: Incorrect – The brain stem consists of the medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain, not the cerebrum.

Thus, the correct answer is (3) Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
