Question

Rearrange the following incorrect sequence pertaining to what is given within brackets at the end.

Diencephalon ⇢ Cerebellum ⇢ Medulla oblongata ⇢ Pons ⇢Cerebrum ⇢ Mid brain (Sequence of parts of human brain)

Answer 1

Sequence:

1. Cerebrum:

• The cerebrum is the biggest area of the brain, consisting of the right and left hemispheres.
• Higher functions include understanding touch, vision, and hearing, as well as speaking, reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine motor control.
• The cerebrum is in charge of voluntary motor activities. As an example, consider hand movement.

2. Diencephalon:

• The midbrain and forebrain are linked by the diencephalon.
• The epithalamus, thalamus, subthalamus, and hypothalamus make up the diencephalon, which is located deep within the brain.
• The diencephalon is responsible for relaying sensory information between brain areas as well as for several autonomic processes of the peripheral nervous system.

3. Midbrain:

• The uppermost section of the brainstem, the major connection between the brain and the spinal cord, is the midbrain.
• It participates in the processing of visual and auditory data.

4. Cerebellum:

• Under the cerebrum is the cerebellum.
• To maintain a smooth and regulated muscle activity, it governs voluntary motions such as posture, balance, coordination, and voice.

5. Pons:

• Pons is a location on the brain where sensory nerves link or originate.
• It is concerned with vital bodily activities such as eye movement and breathing.

6. Medulla:

• The medulla is a region of the brain where the brain and body interact and communicate.
• The medulla is the command and control center for respiratory and cardiovascular functions.
• It is in charge of managing the vital indicator, the pulse.

7. Therefore, the correct order is Cerebrum→ Diencephalon → Midbrain→ Cerebellum→ Pons → Medulla Oblongata.
