Major coordinating centre for sensory and motor signaling is:
Correct answer: A. Thalamus
- A. Thalamus
- B. Cerebrum
- C. Hypothalamus
- D. Cerebellum
Explanation
Thalamus is mass of grey matter located at the base of cerebrum in the wall of third ventricle. It serves as relay station for sensory impulses as well as integration centre for recognition of pain, temperature and hard touch.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
