Question

In a drunk person, the part of brain to be affected first is

• A. Cerebellum
• B. Pons varolli
• C. Medulla oblongata
• D. Cerebrum

Answer 1

The correct option is A Cerebellum

When a person gets addicted to alcohol, many serious health problems can occur due to consumption of alcohol. The first part of brain to be affected first is Cerebellum. The will power and self control of the person gets reduced. Control over emotions and moral sense also gets reduced. Loss of muscle coordination also occurs as cerebellum is affected. As a result, speech becomes incoherent. Inflammation of axons also occur which causes neuritis.

So, the correct answer is 'Cerebellum'.
