alleryIn the rabbit brain, the band of nerve tissue connecting the right and left cerebral hemispheres is the:
ACorpus callosum
BOptic lobe
CMedulla oblongata
DCerebellum
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Corpus callosum
1. The forebrain of the rabbit contains the two cerebral hemispheres.
2. A transverse band of nerve tissue joins the right and left hemispheres.
3. This connecting band is the corpus callosum.
4. So corpus callosum is correct.
5. Option D cerebellum is a hindbrain part for balance, the trap.
6. Option B optic lobe lies in the midbrain for vision, so it is wrong.
7. Option C medulla oblongata is the hindbrain region near the spinal cord.
