Question:
The optic lobes in humans are represented by the corpora
The optic lobes in humans are represented by the corpora
Updated On: Jun 14, 2022
- bigemina
- arenacea
- striata
- quadrigemina
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The upper or superior surface of the midbrain has two pairs of rounded protrusions collectively called the corpora quadrigemina; one pair is called superior colliculi and the other pair is called inferior colliculi. The superior and inferior colliculi of each side are termed the corpora bigemina. The superior colliculi are concerned with the sense of sight

Human Nervous System
The human nervous system is responsible for controlling and coordinating all the activities of the human body.
The three major functions of the human nervous system are:
- Gathering or assembling sensory information from the body and external environment.
- Processing and interpreting the sensory information acquired.
- Conveying or transferring appropriate response to the sensory information acquired.
The nervous system is mainly divided into two, namely:
The Central Nervous System (CNS) comprises the brain and spinal cord.
- The brain is majorly involved in the perception and processing of sensory input. It also regulates or manages voluntary motor responses and homeostatic mechanisms.
- The spinal cord act as a pathway for the transmission of information between the brain and the peripheral nervous system. It also takes action on reflex actions.
The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) comprises sensory/motor neurons and ganglion.
