The diencephalon is located on the ________________________ surface of the cerebrum.

ventral

In adult humans, what percentage of the body’s neural tissue does the brain contain?

97%

Relaying information from the cerebrum to cerebellum is a function of the:

pons

Brain region that controls visual reflexes that coordinate head and eye movements when we follow a moving object.

midbrain

Why is the cerebral cortex known as gray matter?

Because it contains unmyelinated neuron cell bodies.

Brain region where the corticospinal tracts cross the midline to the opposite side of the body.

Medulla oblongata

Are cranial nerves part of the brain?

No

Which brain region regulates blood pressure, breathing, and swallowing, acting as an autonomic reflex center of the brain?

Medulla oblongata

Is the cerebellum part of the brain stem?

No

Which area regulates sleep, food intake, and endocrine (hormone) functions?

Diencephalon

To which primary brain vesicle is the medulla oblongata a part of?

rhombencephalon

Which are the components of the PNS?

Cranial nerves, Spinal nerves, Ganglia

In which type of neurons do impulses move fastest?

myelinated neurons

Which structure would be most active if you were in a hot, dry desert without water?

Diencephalon (hypothalamus)

The medulla oblongata and the pons are structures in the CNS or PNS?

Central Nervous System

The primary brain vesicles in which the neural tube is divided into are:
