thalmus
coordinates the activities of the cerebral cortex and participates in some forms of emotion and sensation
thalmus
controls somatic motor activities at a subconscious level
hypothalmus
controls autonomic function (ANS)
hypothalmus
coordinates activities of the endocrine and nervous systems. important regulatory role over pituitary gland
hypothalmus
secretes hormones ADH and Ocytocin
hypothalmus
participates in the regulation of emotions- pleasure and aggression ect
hypothalmus
regulates body temp
hypothalmus
controls food (produces sensation of hunger) and water intake (stimulates feelings of thirst)
hypothalmus
works with the epithalmus to control wake/sleep cycle
hypothalmus
contains pineal body (endocrine; melatonin- regulates day/night cycles)
Epithalmus
contains choroid plexus
Epithalmus
Conduction pathway and reglex center

midbrain
red nuclei and reticular formation
midbrain
tegmentum
aka red nuclei
cerebral aqueducts
midbrain
corpora quadrigemina
midbrain
sensory and motor nuclei for cranial nerves
pons
nuclei that help control respiration (pneumotaxic center)
Work in concert with medullary respiratory center to control skeletal muscles associated with breathing (inspiration is forced)
pons
middle cerebellar peduncels
pons
connects the brain (pons) with the spinal cord (foramen magnum)
Medulla Oblongata
contains relay stats and reflex centers- all info which ascends and all information which descends from the brain and spinal cod goes through the medulla oblongata
Medulla Oblongata
Cardiovascular (medullary cardiovascular center)
