Q. Select the answer with correct matching of the structure, its location and function Structure – Location – Function
A) Eustachian tube – Anterior part of internal ear – Equalizes air pressure on either sides of tympanic membrane
B) Cerebellum – Mid brain – Controls respiration and gastric secretions
C) Hypothalamus – Fore brain – Controls body temperature, urge for eating and drinking
D) Blind spot – Near the place where optic nerve leaves the eye – Rods and cones are present but inactive here
Explanation
[Solution from source] The hypothalamus lies at the base of the forebrain (diencephalon) and has centres for body temperature, hunger and thirst. The Eustachian tube connects the middle ear (not internal ear) with the pharynx, the cerebellum is part of the hindbrain and controls balance, and the blind spot has no rods or cones at all. Answer (3).
