Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following structures or regions is incorrectly paired with its functions?
A
Hypothalamus:production of releasing hormones and regulation of temperature, hunger and thirst.
B
Limbic system:consists of fibre tracts that interconnect different regions of brain; controls movement.
C
Medulla oblongata:controls respiration and cardiovascular reflexes.
D
Corpus callosum:band of fibers connecting left and right cerebral hemispheres.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct option is B Limbic system-consists of fibre tracts that interconnect different regions of the brain and controls movement. Brain and spinal cord are a part of central nervous system.

Detailed explanation-2: -Language comprehension is not the function of the cerebellum. So, the correct answer is option D.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are several important structures within the limbic system: the amygdala, hippocampus, thalamus, hypothalamus, basal ganglia, and cingulate gyrus.

Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct answer is ‘Corpora quadrigemina’.

Detailed explanation-5: -The thalamus, hypothalamus (production of important hormones and regulation of thirst, hunger, mood etc) and basal ganglia (reward processing, habit formation, movement and learning) are also involved in the actions of the limbic system, but two of the major structures are the hippocampus and the amygdala.
