The 'Study Tip' section encourages thinking in pairs regarding regional specialization. Based on the provided table, which of the following statements correctly identifies a pair of structures and accurately describes their complementary or reciprocal functions?

  • A: CNS (brain and spinal cord) is for information transfer, while PNS (ganglia and peripheral nerves) is for information integration.
  • B: The Sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system prepares the body for rest and digestion, while the Parasympathetic division prepares it for 'fight-or-flight' responses.
  • C: The Hippocampus plays a role in memory, and the Cerebral cortex also plays a role in memory.
  • D: The Left hemisphere of the brain controls the right side of the body, while the Right hemisphere controls the left side, indicating a direct functional pairing.

Explanation

The 'Study Tip' table lists 'Hippocampus role in memory ' under 'Structure A/Function' and 'Cerebral cortex role in memory ' under 'Structure B/Function', indicating that both structures are recognized for their role in memory, making this a correct pairing based on the table's explicit content.
