In which part of the human brain corpora quadrigemina is located
- Midbrain
- Cerebral hemisphere
- Forebrain
- Hindbrain
The Correct Option is A
Approach Solution - 1
The corpora quadrigemina is a structure located in the midbrain, specifically forming the dorsal portion of the midbrain (tectum). It consists of four colliculi (two superior and two inferior) that play important roles in visual and auditory reflexes.
Thus, the correct answer is (C) Midbrain.
Approach Solution -2
The corpora quadrigemina is correctly located in the midbrain (option C). This structure consists of four colliculi - the superior pair involved in visual reflexes and the inferior pair mediating auditory reflexes. As part of the brainstem's tectum, it plays crucial roles in processing sensory information and coordinating reflex movements. It is not found in the forebrain which includes the cerebrum, nor in the hindbrain containing the cerebellum and medulla, and is distinct from the cerebral hemispheres that compose the bulk of the forebrain.
Thus, the correct answer is (C) Midbrain.

Concepts Used:
Neural Control and Coordination
Neural System:
Neurons are the most specialised cells in the nervous system of all animals, and they are responsible for detecting, accepting, and conveying numerous types of motives. The neurological system of low-spinal animals like Hydra is incredibly simple, consisting of a network of neurons. When the brain of an insect comprises a vast number of ganglia and neural tissues, it is optimally structured.
Coordination System:
Coordination is the process by which two or more organs work together to accomplish each other's duties. Increased muscle activity increases the supply of oxygen and the demand for energy while we exercise. When we cease exercising, our nerves, heart, lungs, and kidneys all return to normal. As a result, all of the organs' functions are properly integrated in order to conduct the exercise and supply the appropriate conditions while exercising. Similarly, in the human body, the neurological and endocrine systems work together to coordinate all of the organ activities.
