Question

Which part of the brain is affected first in a drunk person?

• A. Cerebrum
• B. Olfactory lobe
• C. Cerebellum
• D. Medulla oblongata

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Cerebellum

The correct option is D

Explanation of the correct option:

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

Final answer: Cerebellum is the part of the brain that is affected first in a drunk person.
