Question
Which one of the regions below do not belong to the auditory pathway ?A) Organ of ContiB) Medial geniculate nucleus of the thalamusC) Inferior colliculus in the tectum of the midbrainD) Meissner’s corpuscule
Solution
The option that does not belong to the auditory pathway is D) Meissner’s corpuscule. This is a type of mechanoreceptor involved in the sense of touch, not hearing. The other options (Organ of Corti, Medial geniculate nucleus of the thalamus, Inferior colliculus in the tectum of the midbrain) are all parts of the auditory pathway, involved in the process of hearing.
