15
Q

Diencephalon consists of

A

Thalamus
Hypothalamus
Pineal gland

16
Q

Brain stem consists of

A

Medulla oblongata
Pons
Midbrain

17
Q

Cerebellum function (2)

A

Evaluates how well movements initiated by motor area in cerebrum are being carried out to make complex skilled movements
Regulates posture & balance

18
Q

Limbic system

A

Includes several area of brain
“Emotional brain”
Function- mediates emotional responses (pain, pleasure, docility, affection, & anger)
Involved in smell & memory

19
Q

Order of the brain stem parts?

A

Midbrain 1
Pons 2
Medulla 3

20
Q

Function of thalamus (4)

A

Major relay station for sensory impulses in the primary sensory areas of cerebral cortex

  • transmits info from cerebellum to primary motor areas of cerebral cortex
  • relays impulses btwn diff. Areas of cerebrum
  • involved in movement control, emotions, learning, memory, & cognition
21
Q

Function of hypothalamus (5)

A
Controls autonomic NS
located inferior to thalamus 
Regulate emotional & behavioral patterns
Regulate eating & drinking
Control body temp
Regulate circadian rhythm
22
Q

Pineal gland function (2)

A

Secretes melatonin-promotes sleep

Sets body’s biological clock

23
Q

Midbrain function (4)

A

Relays motor impulses from cerebral cortex to pins
Relays sensory impulses from spinal cord to thalamus
Coordinates movements of head, eyes, & trunk in response to visual & auditory stimuli
Helps coordinate voluntary body movements

24
Q

Pons function (2)

A

Relays impulses btwn cerebral cortex & cerebellum & midbrain & medulla
Helps controls breathing rhythms

25
Q

Medulla function (3)

A

Relays motor & sensory impulses btwn other brain parts & spinal cord
Regulates heartbeat, breathing, blood vessel diameter
Coordinates swallowing, vomiting, coughing, sneezing, & hiccups
