Study Notes
- Medulla oblongata controls basic life-sustaining involuntary activities such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.
- Cerebellum regulates body balance, fine motor movements, and posture.
- Hypothalamus regulates body temperature, sleep patterns, circadian rhythm, hunger, and hormonal control, and regulates the pituitary gland.
- Cerebral cortex governs higher brain functions including thinking, reasoning, and language.
- Thalamus relays sensory signals entering and exiting the brain.
- Olfactory bulb, part of the limbic system, is responsible for the sense of smell.
- Pons serves as a bridge and transfers nerve signals.
- Optic chiasm provides passage for axons to enter the opposite side of the optic tract.
- Ventricles facilitate the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
- Pituitary gland produces hormones and regulates various body functions.
- Corpus callosum is a bundle of nerve fibers, including neurons, that cross to opposite sides of the brain, enabling inter-hemispheric communication.
