| cerebral hemisphere | form the superiormost part;enables us to perceive, communicate, understand, and initiate voluntary movements of the brain; |
| diencephalon | forms the central core of the fore-brain and is surrounded by the cerebral hemisphere;helps control homeostasis |
| brain stem | include the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata; produce programmed automatic behaviors necessary for survival |
| cerebellum | processes inputs received from teh cerebral motor cortex; activity occurs subconsciously |
| cerebral cortex | section of the cerebral hemisphere;sensory and motor function |
| cerebral white matter | consists of myelinated fibers that allow communication between cerebral areas |
| basal nuclei | within cerebral white matter; part of the system of motor control |
| thalamus | composed of grey matter; relay station for sensory information |
| hypothalamus | main viceral control center of the body and is vital to overall body homeostasis |
| epithalamus | involved with body rythms (biological clocks) |
| midbrain | coordinate head and eye movement; part of the reticular formation |
| pons | help maintain normal rhythm of breathing |
| medulla oblongata | plays a role in autonomic reflex center involved in maintaining homeostasis |
