Question

Match the following column

a. Also known as self-governing nervous system.	1. Medulla Oblongata	i. It receives information from the surroundings, processes it, interprets it and then responds accordingly.
b. Its cell body is like a typical animal cell which contains cytoplasm and a nucleus.	2. Cerebellum	ii. It emerges from the base of the brain and joins the spinal cord.
c. It is the control system for all our actions, thinking and behaviour.	3. Spinal cord	iii. Coordinates smooth body movements such as walking and dancing.
d. As many as 31 pairs of nerves arise from it.	4. Neuron	iv. Controls the activities of the organs inside our body automatically even without our thinking about them.
e. A small egg-shaped part under the cerebrum at the back of the head.	5. Autonomic nervous system	v. Its structure is specially adapted to be able to carry messages over large distances in the body.
f. It is also the controlling centre for reflexes such as swallowing, coughing and sneezing.	6. Nervous system	vi. It begins in continuation with medulla and extends downwards.

f. It is also the controlling centre for reflexes such as swallowing, coughing and sneezing. 6. Nervous system v. Its structure is specially adapted to be able to carry messages over large distances in the body.

The medulla oblongata is responsible for regulating several basic functions of the autonomic nervous system including, reflexes like vomiting, coughing, sneezing and respiration, cardiac function, vasodilation and swallowing.
