#4 Study Guide.
Cerebrum - answer✔The cauliflower looking part of the brain. It is effectively the thinking part
of the brain.
Cerebral Cortex - answer✔The outer layer of the cerebrum. This section of the cerebrum has to
do with motor, sensory, and the lobes.
Corpus Callosum - answer✔The structure that connects the hemispheres of the brain
Septum Pellucidum - answer✔The area below the corupus callosum
Diencephalon - answer✔The very center of the brain. This brain is primitive and controls various
subjects such as thirst, hunger, cold, and hot.
Fornix - answer✔The area next to the corpus callosum

Mammillary body - answer✔The lump on the hypothalamus
Inundibulum - answer✔The structure that connects the pituitary gland to the hypothalamus
Hypophysis (Pituitary gland) - answer✔The dangly area under the hypothalamus
Cerebellum - answer✔The lower area of the brain. This section of the brain controls autonomic
functions
Arbor Vitae - answer✔Literally, the tree of life. This structure is a nerve network in the
cerebellum
Midbrain - answer✔The top of the brain stem, This directly controls autonomic processes and
reflexes
Pons - answer✔The lump on the anterior side of the brain. This structure controls sleep/wake
cycles.
Medulla Oblongata - answer✔The smaller lump inferior to the pons. This structure is active in
the cardiovascular system
Spinal Cord - answer✔The brain stem once it leaves the foramen magnum is called the --- -----.
