Question

Study the following and pick up the correct statements: I. Superior colliculi are concerned with auditory function
II. Inferior colliculi are concerned with visual function
III. Pneumotaxic centre lies in pons varoli
IV. Thermoregulatory centre lies in the hypothalamus

• A. I, II
• B. III, IV
• C. I, III
• D. II, IV

Hint:

The superior and inferior colliculi play different roles in sensory processing, with the former related to visual stimuli and the latter to auditory stimuli.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Statement I is incorrect because the superior colliculi are primarily involved in visual processing, not auditory functions.
- Statement II is also incorrect because the inferior colliculi are involved in auditory processing, not visual function.
- Statement III is correct; the pneumotaxic center, which regulates the rate and pattern of breathing, is located in the pons varoli.
- Statement IV is correct because the thermoregulatory center, responsible for regulating body temperature, is located in the hypothalamus.
