Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the codes given below : Codes : (a) (b) (c) (d)List I (Traditional Terms) List II (Structures) (a) Telencephalon (1) Cerebellum (b) Diencephalon (2) Tectum (c) Mesencephalon (3) Cerebral cortex (d) Metencephalon (4) Thalamus
(3) (4) (2) (1)
The embryonic brain develops from three primary vesicles (forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain), which differentiate into five secondary divisions. The traditional terms name these divisions, each giving rise to specific adult structures.
| Traditional term | Structure | Why |
|---|---|---|
| (a) Telencephalon | (3) Cerebral cortex | The endbrain of the forebrain forms the cerebral hemispheres: cortex, basal ganglia, limbic structures. |
| (b) Diencephalon | (4) Thalamus | The between-brain of the forebrain forms the thalamus and hypothalamus. |
| (c) Mesencephalon | (2) Tectum | The midbrain consists of the tectum (superior and inferior colliculi) and tegmentum. |
| (d) Metencephalon | (1) Cerebellum | The afterbrain of the hindbrain forms the cerebellum and pons. |
The code is therefore (a)-(3), (b)-(4), (c)-(2), (d)-(1).
Hence, the answer is (3) (4) (2) (1).
