Answer 1

connects cortex to the thalamus and brainstem

Question 2

components of diencephalon

Answer 2

hypothalamus and thalamus

Question 3

Function of hypothalamus

Answer 3

Homeostasis and is intimately associated with the pituitary and a network of visceral control structures
in the brain including: amygdala, preoptic area, nuc. solitary tract, and autonomic preganglionic motor nuclei.Homeostasis and is intimately associated with the pituitary and a network of visceral control structures

Question 19

anterior and posterior locations of the internal capsule

Answer 19

Anteriorly, the internal capsule lies between the caudate nucleus and the lentiform nucleus; posteriorly, it lies
between the thalamus and lentiform nucleusAnteriorly, the internal capsule lies between the caudate nucleus and the lentiform nucleus; posteriorly, it lies
between the thalamus and lentiform nucleus

Question 20

Where does internal capsule become corona radiata

Answer 20

In the cerebral hemispheres

Question 21

Where does anterior internal capsule become posterior?

Answer 21

At interventricular foramen in anterior part of thalamus
