Document Summary
Brain : part of cns , in cranial cavity. Brainstem : connects spinal cord to brain , integration of reflexes necessary for survival involved in control of locomotion , balance , posture cerebellum : Diencephalon : thalamus , epi thalamus , hypothalamus , subthalamic us - nervous system connection to endocrine functions cerebrum : concious thought , control. Cranial meninges (cid:8869) pia , arachnoid , dura mater. Lined with ependymal cells carry venous blood. Serum - like fluid lacking proteins , contains nutrients. Bathes and protects brain and spinal cord. Most synthesized in choroid plexus - lateral ventricles. Concentrations of nuclei relay info from musci s + joints to cerebellum. Opposite side of the body white matter budges info from brain spinal cord somatic motor system descending. Transmits ascending + descending impulses btw brain. Center for vital reflexes (cid:8869) hr , bp , respiration , swallowing , coughing , sneezing. Nuclei of cranial nerves v , v11 ,
