Term | Definition |
---|---|
Hypothalamus | Controls anterior pituitary hormone secretion |
Cerebral Cortex | Initiates all voluntary movement; accomplishes final sensory perception. |
Basal Nuclei | Inhibits muscle tone throughout body. |
Basal Nuclei | Damage to this structure is associated with a resting tremor. |
Hypothalamus | Controls thirst, urine output, food intake, and body temperature. |
Brainstem | Contains centers for respiration, heart and blood vessel function, and many digestive activities. |
Basal Nuclei | Helps monitor and coordinate slow, sustained contractions, especially those related to support and posture. |
Hypothalamus | Contains the autonomic nervous system coordinating center. |
Cerebellum | Disorder of this structure is characterized by an intention tremor. |
Hypothalamus | Plays a role in emotion and behavioral patterns |
Cerebellum | Compares the "intentions" of the higher centers with the "performance" of the muscles, and corrects any "errors" |
