Question

question 40 (1 point)
which of the following would most likely involve the midbrain?
deciding to bet all of your chips in a poker game
raising your body temperature on a cold night
ducking just in time to avoid being hit by a sudden foul ball at a baseball game
remembering where you left your keys
question 41 (1 point)
the ______ regulates and maintains constant internal bodily states by stimulating the pituitary gland.
amygdala
hypothalamus
hippocampus
thalamus

Explanation:

For Question 40:

• The midbrain is involved in visual and auditory reflexes. Ducking to avoid a foul ball is a visual - motor reflex that the midbrain can be involved in. Deciding to bet (higher - order cognitive function, likely prefrontal cortex), raising body temperature (hypothalamus), and remembering (hippocampus and other memory - related areas) are not primarily midbrain functions.

For Question 41:

• The hypothalamus is known to regulate the pituitary gland. It controls the release of hormones from the pituitary through neural and hormonal signals. The amygdala is involved in emotions (especially fear), the hippocampus in memory, and the thalamus as a sensory relay station.

Answer:

Question 40: ducking just in time to avoid being hit by a sudden foul ball at a baseball game
Question 41: hypothalamus
