All questions of Organization of the Nervous System for Grade 9 Exam
Option A is correct becose, corpus callosam is trancverce connection between two cerebral hemisphears.. it helps in coordination between the two cerebral hemisphears..
Meninges are the membranes that cover and protect the brain and spinal cord. There are three layers of meanings: dura mater (closest to the bone), arachnoid (loosely around the brain), pia mater (closely attached to the brain and spinal cord surface).
The pia mater of the brain is the innermost of the three membranes, that cover it. It is the vascular membrane of the brain. It carries the minute branches of the two internal carotids and the two vertebral arteries. It also returns the blood to the heart. The dura mater is the most external membrane of the brain. It forms the internal periosteum of the skull. The dura mater is a dense, tough, inelastic fibrous membrane. The epidermis contains no blood vessels, and cells in the deepest layers are nourished by diffusion from blood capillaries extending to the upper layers of the dermis. So, the correct answer is option B.
The part of the brain that connects the two hemispheres of the brain is called the corpus callosum. It contains a bundle of neuronal fibers found in humans and other higher order mammals that allow the two hemispheres to talk to one another.
The midbrain is located between the hypothalamus of the forebrain and the pons of the hindbrain. The midbrain is also known as the mesencephalon and controls several motor movements.
- The cell bodies or neurons or nerve cells are present in a high concentration in the grey matter of the brain and spinal cord.
- The axons of neurons are present in a high concentration in the white matter.
The box enclosing and protecting the brain is called as the cranium . The cranium is the part of the skull, that encloses the brain. Therefore option A is the correct answer.
Cerebellum is a part of the brain and is responsible for motor control which includes muscle movement , equilibrium and balance as it relates to movement .
So 'a' is correct.
The limbic system is a part of the forebrain and is responsible for functions such as autonomic responses, emotional reactions, olfaction, regulation of sexual behavior, and motivation. The other options incorrectly describe the components or functions of the brain.
