16
Q

Gray matter

A

Contains the cell bodies and dendrites of neurons, recieves information and regulates outgoing information

17
Q

White matter

A

Contains the axons of neurons, transmits signals to other regions of the brain, spinal cord, and body

18
Q

Thalamus

Caudete Nucleus and Putamen

22
Q

Globus Pallidus

A

Internal and external

25
Q

Cerebrospinal fluid

A

Salty clear liquid

26
