The correct Answer is:
To determine how many statements are correct, let's analyze each statement step by step: 1. **Statement (i)**: "Urge for eating and drinking as well as body temperature is controlled by the hypothalamus." - The hypothalamus is indeed responsible for regulating homeostasis, which includes the urge for eating and drinking, as well as the regulation of body temperature. Thus, this statement is **correct**. 2. **Statement (ii)**: "The limbic system along with hypothalamus involved in the regulation of sexual behavior, expression of emotions, and excitement." - The limbic system, which includes the hypothalamus, plays a crucial role in regulating emotions, sexual behavior, and excitement. Therefore, this statement is also **correct**. 3. **Statement (iii)**: "The presence of four round swellings called corpora quadrigemina on the ventral portion of the midbrain is the characteristic feature of the human brain." - The corpora quadrigemina are indeed present in the midbrain, but they are located on the **dorsal** portion, not the ventral portion. Thus, this statement is **incorrect**. 4. **Statement (iv)**: "Cerebellum has a very convoluted surface in order to provide additional space for many neurons." - The cerebellum does have a convoluted surface, which increases its surface area and allows for a greater number of neurons. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. Now, let's summarize the correctness of each statement: - Statement (i): Correct - Statement (ii): Correct - Statement (iii): Incorrect - Statement (iv): Correct **Total Correct Statements**: 3 ### Final Answer: **Three statements are correct.**
