| basal ganglia | automatic movement such as posture |
| hypothalamus | regulation of body temperature, water balance, sleep cycles, appetite, sexual arousal |
| thalamus | sensory relay station, has emotions and alerting mechanisms |
| midbrain | 2 way conduction of impulses |

| cerebellum | coordinates movement, maintains balance and muscle tone |
| corpus callosum | connects the 2 cerebral hemispheres |
| spinal cord | carries impulses to and from the brain and contains thousands of reflex arcs |
| cranial nerves | carry impulses to and from brain to and from structures in head and neck areas and in thoracic and abdominal cavities |
