NEET (UG) 2024 — Question 180
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The cerebral hemispheres are connected by nerve tract known as corpus callosum.
Statement II: The brain stem consists of the medulla oblongata, pons and cerebrum.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- Option A:
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
- Option B:
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
- Option C:Correct
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
- Option D:
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
Answer: C
Step-by-step solution
Statement I is correct: the two cerebral hemispheres are connected by a tract of nerve fibres called the corpus callosum. Statement II is incorrect: the brain stem consists of the midbrain, pons and medulla oblongata; the cerebrum is part of the forebrain, not the brain stem. Therefore, Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect, so the correct option is C.
