Question
Give the various functions of brain.
✓
Answer
- The brain receives information carrying nerve impulses from all the sensory organs of the body.
- It responds to the impulses brought in by sensory organs by sending its own instructions through motor nerves to the muscles and glands causing them to function accordingly.
- It correlates the various stimuli from different sense organs and produces the most appropriate and intelligent response.
- It coordinates the body activities so that the mechanisms and chemical reactions of the body work together efficiently.
- It stores information so that behavior can be modified according to the past experience.

When a black metal compound $XO$ is heated with a colourless gas $Y_2,$ then metal $X$ and another compound $Y_2O$ are formed. Metal $X$ is red-brown in colour which does not react with dilute acids at all. Gas $Y_2$ can be prepared by the action of a dilute acid on any active metal. The compound $Y_2O$ is a liquid at room temperature which can turn anhydrous copper sulphate blue.
