Question

Which of the following terms is associated with the anatomy of the human heart?
1. Cerebrum
2. Cerebellum
3. Medulla
4. Aorta

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Aorta

The Correct Answer is Aorta.

 

• The aorta is the main artery that carries blood away from the heart to the rest of your body.
• After the blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve, it travels through the aorta, making a cane-shaped curve that connects with other major arteries to deliver oxygen-rich blood to the brain, muscles, and other cells. 

 

Cerebrum

• The cerebrum is the uppermost part of the brain.
• The cerebrum itself contains the major lobes of the brain and is responsible for receiving and giving meaning to information from the sense organs, as well as controlling the body.

Cerebellum

• The cerebellum is a major structure of the hindbrain that is located near the brainstem.
• This part of the brain is responsible for coordinating voluntary movements.
• It is also responsible for a number of functions including motor skills such as balance, coordination, and posture.

Medulla

• The medulla oblongata makes up the lower part of the brainstem.
• It is anterior and partially inferior to the cerebellum.
• It is a cone-shaped neuronal mass responsible for autonomic (involuntary) functions, ranging from vomiting to sneezing.
