name that part of the brain pt 2! Table 12.1, cerebral hemispheres and diencephalon

Controls voluntary and skilled skeletal muscle activity

Cerebral Hemispheres: Cortical gray matter

Chief integration center of autonomic (involuntary) nervous system

Diencephalon: Hypothalamus

Help control skeletal muscle movements

Cerebral Hemispheres: Basal nuclei (ganglia)

functions in intellectual and emotional processing

Cerebral Hemispheres: Cortical gray matter

Localizes and interprets sensory inputs

Cerebral Hemispheres: Cortical gray matter

Regulates body temperature, food intake, water balance, thirst, and biological rhythms and drives

Diencephalon: Hypothalamus

Subcortical motor centers

Cerebral Hemispheres: Basal nuclei (ganglia)

Involved in memory processing

Diencephalon: Thalamus and limbic system

Includes cerebral and diencephalon structures (e.g., hypothalamus and anterior thalamic nuclei)

Diencephalon: Limbic system

Acts as an endocrine organ, producing posterior pituitary hormones ADH and oxytocin

Diencephalon: Hypothalamus

Relays impulses between cerebral motor cortex and lower (subcortical) motor centers, including cerebellum

Diencephalon: Thalamus

Mediates emotional response

Diencephalon: Limbic system

Relays sensory impulses to cerebral cortex for interpretation

Diencephalon: Thalamus

Regulates hormonal output of anterior pituitary gland

Diencephalon: Hypothalamus
