Thalamus relay station for sensory fibers
Subthalamus regulates and coordinates motor function
Hypothalamus regulates various body functions
epithalamus regulates genital development, the sleep/wake cycle and optic reflexes
Cerebral hemispheres Control higher cortical functions such as cognition and language as well as planing motor function and interpreting sensory experiences
Visceral sensory system entails general sensory information like stretch, pain, temperature, and irritation in the internal organs as well as sensations like nausea and hunger.
Autonomic nervous system involves body functions that happen automatically without conscious control
