35. Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow: [4]
The brain is the central information processing organ of our body, and acts as the ‘command and control
system’. It controls the voluntary movements, balance of the body, functioning of vital involuntary organs,
thermoregulation, hunger and thirst, circadian rhythms of our body, activities of several endocrine glands and
human behaviour. It is also the site for processing of vision, hearing, speech, memory, intelligence, emotions and
thoughts. The human brain is well protected by the skull. Inside the skull, the brain is covered by cranial
meninges consisting of an outer layer called dura mater, a very thin middle layer called arachnoid and an inner
layer (which is in contact with the brain tissue) called pia mater. The brain can be divided into three major parts:
