Inferior Colliculi
second largest part of the human brain which exerts synergic control over skeletal muscles resulting in coordinated skeletal muscle contraction to produce smooth, steady, and precise movements
METENCEPHALON OR CEREBELLUM
-regulates heart rate, blood vessel diameter, breathing, swallowing, vomiting, hiccups, coughing, sneezing, balance, and conducts impulses between the cord and the brain (sensory and motor)
MYELENCEPHALON OR MEDULLA OBLONGATA
- membranous coverings or protective wrapping around brain and spinal cord consisting of three layers
MENINGES
- eyeball consists of three coats: outer sclera, and cornea, middle choroid, ciliary body, and iris and inner retina
SIGHT
taste buds in the tongue innervated by the facial and glossopharyngeal nerves. responds to chemicals; sweet at tongue tip; sour and salt at tip and sides; bitter at back
TASTE
paired structure of gray matter below the corpus callosum which is a relay center for all sensory impulses; functionally related to all
motor centers
Thalamus
