Question

Which of the following is a primary function of the limbic system?

• A. Regulation of blood pressure, cardiovascular and respiration
• B. Control of body temperature, hunger and thirst
• C. Regulation of emotions, behaviour, and memory
• D. Coordination of voluntary movements

Hint:

Remember the functions of major brain regions: \[ \boxed{\text{Limbic System} \rightarrow \text{Emotions, Behaviour, Memory}} \] \[ \boxed{\text{Hypothalamus} \rightarrow \text{Hunger, Thirst, Temperature}} \] \[ \boxed{\text{Medulla} \rightarrow \text{Respiration and Heartbeat}} \] \[ \boxed{\text{Cerebellum} \rightarrow \text{Balance and Coordination}} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The limbic system is the emotional and behavioural centre of the brain, responsible for regulating emotions, memory consolidation, motivation, and certain autonomic functions. Key structures include the amygdala (fear and emotion), hippocampus (memory), and hypothalamus (homeostasis and drive states).
