Question

Which of the following areas or centres do not belong to the cerebral cortex?

• A. Sensory area
• B. Motor area
• C. Association area
• D. Respiratory centre

Answer 1

The correct option is D Respiratory centre

The cerebral cortex contains motor areas, sensory areas and large regions that are neither clearly sensory nor motor in function. These regions called as the association areas are responsible for complex functions like inter-sensory associations, memory and communication.
The hindbrain comprises pons, cerebellum and medulla. The medulla contains centers which control respiration, cardiovascular reflexes and gastric secretions.
