Q

Layers of Arteries and Veins

Tunica Intima

A

The innermost layer, or tunica intima, consists of a lining, a fine network of connective tissue, and a layer of elastic fibres bound together in a membrane pierced with many openings.

22
Q

Diencephalon

A

-Small brain structure

-superior to brainstem and surrounded by hemispheres

-consists of the thalamus and hypothalamus

-the thalamus relays impulses to the cerebrum and controls the autonomic nervous system.

-regulates body temp, hunger, Thirst, emotional patterns, and circadian rhythm.
