Question

Identify the correct statement with reference of arbor vitae in the brain of the rabbit.
A. Rounded elevation present behind infundibulum
B. Thick nerves tracts that link the cerebral hemisphere and medulla oblongata
C. Branching of white matter in cerebellum
D. Deep grooves and wrinkled of cerebral hemisphere

Answer 1

Hint: Arbor vitae is white colored components and tree shaped found in the cerebellum. The center of the body’s nervous system plays a role in the region of the brain that helps in the motor and sensory information. The emboliform, fastigial nuclei, globose and dentate situated within the arbor vitae are the deep cerebellar nuclei in the part of the brain.

Complete answer:
The crucial function serves the brain with the help of arbor vitae and structure described with the white matter that serves the sensory and motor information to the cerebellum. By several affecting overall brain function, pathogens and traumas led to damage to the arbor vitae.
There are two types of matter used for the transmission of nerve impulses which are colored grey and white present in the central nervous system. Grey matter processes information from the central nervous system and white matter works with the central nervous system to send signals between the different parts of the body with the help of motor and sensory functions.

Therefore the correct option is (C).

Note: Arbor vitae is present in the cerebellar white matter and resembles a fern and found in both the cerebellar hemisphere that help to bring the motor and sensory information from the cerebellum. The white colour in the arbor is due to the myelinated axons with slight pink tint present in it.
