Part A The cerebellum functionally receives information from

Part A The cerebellum functionally receives information from three other anatomical areas. Which of the following correctly matches that anatomical area with the type of information received by the cerebellum? Select all that apply. Cerebral cortex Proprioception information Muscles & Joints Proprioception information Thalamus Taste Cerebral cortex Voluntary movement information Inner Ear Proprioception information Inner ear Equilibrium (Balance) information

Solution

Please find the answers below:

Part 1: Choices 1,2,4,5 and 6 are correct. (Cerebellum represents the area of brain which controls voluntary and sensory functions of the body with respect to proprio-receptors and other sensory areas of the brain. This holds true for voluntary functions, functions of internal and external ear for balancing the body. These set of information are received in teh cerebellum together from the spinal cord and sensory neurons. Contrarily, the receptors of taste are not present in cerebellum)

Part 2: Choices 2 and 3 are correct (Hypothalamus is the primary region of brain which releases neuro-peptides, hormones and neuro-transmitters which are responsible for maintenance of heart rate, metabolic rate, cardiac function, involuntary sensory informations such as hunger and thirst along with satiety. Thus, damage to to hypothalamus is directly involved with many hormonal imbalances in the body)
