Epithalamus | contains Pineal Gland - endocrine gland that may influence the sleep wake cycle |
Medulla Oblongata | regulates heart rate, blood vessle diameter, respiration, swallowing, vomiting, hiccuping, coughing, and sneezing |
Thalamus | influences mood and actions |
Cerebellum | controll of balance, posture, locomotion, and fine motor coordination (lets you sense things you cant see) |
Pituitary Gland | produces hormones that regulate metabolism, growth rate, and maturation of sex organs |
Pons | Sleep and respiration center |
Mesencephalon | integral part of auditory pathways in the CNS; connects brainstemm to diencephalon; some nuclei determine when muscle contractions will stop |
components of Diencephalon | Thalamus, epithalamus, hypothalamus |
Parts of the Brainstem | Medulla oblongata, pons, midbrain/mesencephalon |
What do the lateral ventricles contain? | cerebrospinal fluid |
Choroid Plexus | produces CSF which fills ventricles |
