Solution
The functions of the midbrain include:
- Involved in maintaining muscle tone and coordinating movements
- Reflex movements of the head, eyes and body towards visual, auditory or tactile stimuli.
- Aids in unconscious regulation and coordination of motor activities
The midbrain does not control thirst and hunger drives, as well as body temperature. This is a function of the hypothalamus. It also does not regulate autonomic reflexes for heart rate, respiration and blood vessel diameter. This is primarily a function of the medulla oblongata.
