Question 14

What fissure separates the Cerebellum and Occipital Lobe?

Answer 14

Transverse fissure

Question 15

This conducts information from the cerebrum & cerebellum to and from the spinal cord, in charge of autonomic behaviors, and gives rise to cranial nerves that innervate the head and face.
What function am I describing?

Answer 15

The brain stem

Question 16

Answer 16

Hypothalamus, Thalamus, and Epithalamus

Question 17

This is the relay center between incoming sensor neurons and other parts of the brain. It connects the CNS to the endocrine system, regulates autonomic functions, and maintains homeostasis. What functions am I describing?

Answer 17
