Definition of Cortex: Grey matter - Localizes and interprets sensory input, controls voluntary and skilled skeletal muscle activity, acts in intellectual and emotional processing, Definition of Basal nuclei - Subcortical motor centers help control skeletal muscle movements, Definition of Thalamus - Relays sensory impulses to cerebral cortex, relays impulses between cerebral motor cortex and lower motor centers, involved in memory, Definition of Hypothalamus - Chief integration center of autonomic (involuntary) nervous system, regulates body temp, food intake, water balance, and thirst, regulates hormonal output of anterior pituitary gland and acts as an endocrine organ, Definition of Limbic system - Includes cerebral and diencephalon structures, meditates emotional response, involved in memory processing, Definition of Midbrain - Contains visual and auditory reflex centers , contains subcortical motor centers, contains nuclei for cranial nerves iii and iv: contains projection fibers, Definition of Pons - Relays information from the cerebrum to the cerebellum, cooperates with the medullary centers to control respiratory rate and depth, contains nuclei of cranial nerves v-vii; contains projection fibers, Definition of Medulla oblongata - Relays ascending sensory pathway impulses from skin and proprioceptors, contains nuclei controlling heart rates, blood vessels diameter, respiratory rate and vomiting. Relays sensory information to the cerebellum, contains nuclei of cranial nerves viii-xii; contain projection fibers, site of decussation (crossover) of pyramids, Definition of Reticular formation- a function system - Maintains cerebral cortical alertness; filters out repetitive stimuli, helps regulate skeletal and visceral muscle activity, Definition of Cerebellum - Process information from cerebral motor cortex, proprioceptors and visual and equilibrium pathways, provides “instructions” to cerebral motor cortex and subcortical motor centers, resulting in smooth, coordinated skeletal muscle movements, responsible for proper balance and posture., What matter surrounds the cortex of the brain  - grey matter , What parts are located in the Cerebral hemisphere?  - Cortex; grey matter and Basal nuclei , What parts are in the Diencephalon? - Thalamus, Hypothalamus, and Limbic system , What parts are in the Brain stem?  - Mid-brain, Pons, Medulla oblongata, and Reticular formation , What region is the Cerebellum in? - Cerebellum , Where is the Cortex located? - on top of cerebrum , Where is the basal nuclei located?  - Deep within the white matter of the brain , Where is the Thalamus located? - near the center of the brain , Where is the Hypothalamus located?  - Ventral brain above the pituitary gland and below third ventricle., Where is the Limbic system located?  - Lateral to the Thalamus, underneath the cerebral cortex, and above brain stem. , Where is the Midbrain located?  - below the cerebral cortex and at the topmost part of the brain stem. , Where is the Pons? - Brain stem , Where is the Medulla oblongata?  - Bottom most part of the brain. , Where is the Reticular formation?  - deep within the brain stem. , Where is the Cerebellum located?  - in the back of the head between the cerebrum and the brain stem. ,
