![**Slide Description**
**Question:**
What are the small dark blue dots in this slide?
**Image Explanation:**
The image is a microscopic view, likely a cross-section of nervous tissue displaying various structures and cells. Prominent features include:
- Yellowish beige areas with dark boundaries indicating cellular regions.
- Dark blue and red circular features within these regions, suggesting different cellular components or inclusions.
**Multiple Choice Options:**
- Secretory vesicles in a presynaptic neuron
- Neurotransmitter receptors on postsynaptic neurons
- Coronavirus particles in the nervous system
- Oligodendrocytes
- Unmyelinated axons
The task is to identify which of these options correctly explains the small dark blue dots seen in the image.

- Answer - cerebellum.
- The cerebellum is a major component of the human brain, because it plays a major role in motor movement regulation and balance control.
- The cerebellum also coordinates gait and maintains posture, controls muscle tone and voluntary muscle activity, but is unable to initiate muscle contraction.
- It looks like peanut, so maybe a part of it is shown in this image.
The glands all have different shapes and functions. Hippocampus - The hippocampus is, one of several parts of brain involved in memory, and it looks like a seahorse, because that's exactly what hippocampus means in Greek meaning.
Hypothalamus - a structure deep in our brain, acts as body's coordinating center. It keeps our body in a stable state called homeostasis. It looks like diamond in appearance.
The pineal gland looks like a tiny pinecone, this is how it got its name (“pine”-al gland). The pineal gland also known as third eye, the pineal gland receives information about the state of the light-dark cycle from the environment and conveys this information by the production and secretion of the hormone melatonin.
Striate cortex is the primary sensory cortical area for vision. It looks like a pear.
