A

corpus callosum

18
Q 
- bet. Corpus callosum 
         and fornix

      - separates right and left 
         lateral ventricles
A

septum pellucidum

19
Q

Inferior to the thalamus
Most inferior part of diencephalon
Maintains homeostasis
Controls body temperature, hunger and thirst

A

hypothalamus

20

      of the hypothalamus
      to the pituitary gland
A

infundibiulm

21

- posterior to pituitary 
     gland 
   - reflex center involved
     in olfaction (sense of
     smell)
A

mammillary body

23
Q

Small area superior and posterior to the thalamus
Forms the roof of the 3rd ventricle
Houses the pineal gland and choroid plexus of third ventricle

A

epithalamus

24
Q 
- knots of capillaries 
      within each ventricle 
    -covered with 
      ependymal cells
    - forms the 
       cerebrospinal fluid

About the size of a thumb in diameter
3 inches long
connects the spinal cord to the brain

A

brain stem

26
Q

Superior to the pons

Extends from the mammillary body to the pons inferiorly

A

midbrain

27
Q
  • rounded protrusions
    • superior and
      inferior colliculi

Inferior to the occipital lobe
2 hemispheres
Outer cortex (gray matter)
Inner region of white matter (arbor vitae)
Provides precise timing for skeletal muscle activity
Controls balance/
