Document Summary
Chapter 16-brain and cranial nerves: what are inside the nuclei of cns, genetic material, identify the main brain regions and their functions (medulla oblongata, pons, Label figure 16. 1: medulla oblongata: relays information to the thalamus and brain stem. Regulates heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion: pons: relays information to the cerebellum and the thalamus. Regulates somatic and visceral motor centers: cerebellum: coordinates somatic motor function. Adjusts output of somatic motor centers resulting in smooth operation: mesencephalon (midbrain): processes visual and auditory data. Involved with reflexive somatic motor responses to stimuli: epithalamus: contains the pineal gland, thalamus: relays information to the cerebrum. Processes sensory information: hypothalamus: involved in emotions, thirst, some habitual activity, telencephalon (cerebrum): conscious thought processes. Conscious regulation of skeletal muscle contractions: define and identify the 4 ventricles of the brain. Label figures 16. 2, 16. 7: prevents contact of neural tissue with the surrounding bones. Transports waste away from the cns: produced by the ependymal cells of the choroid plexus.
