Which of the following functions is NOT associated with the midbrain?
A
Regulation of heart rate and blood pressure
B
Coordination of eye movements
C
Control of voluntary motor movements
D
Regulation of visual and auditory reflexes
Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by identifying the primary functions of the midbrain. The midbrain is a part of the brainstem and is involved in several key processes.
Understand that the midbrain is primarily responsible for processing visual and auditory information, coordinating eye movements, and controlling voluntary motor movements.
Recognize that the regulation of heart rate and blood pressure is typically associated with the medulla oblongata, another part of the brainstem, rather than the midbrain.
Compare the functions listed in the problem with the known functions of the midbrain. Identify which function does not align with the typical roles of the midbrain.
Conclude that the function 'Regulation of heart rate and blood pressure' is not associated with the midbrain, as it is primarily a function of the medulla oblongata.
