- Integrates sensorimotor functions and perception
limbic system - ✔✔neural system (including the hippocampus, amygdala,
and hypothalamus) located below the cerebral hemispheres; associated
with emotions and motivational drives.
basal ganglia - ✔✔structures in the forebrain that help to control movement
thalamus - ✔✔the brain's sensory switchboard, located on top of the
brainstem; it directs messages to the sensory receiving areas in the cortex
and transmits replies to the cerebellum and medulla
hypothalamus - ✔✔a neural structure lying below the thalamus; directs
eating, drinking, body temperature; helps govern the endocrine system via
the pituitary gland, and is linked to emotion; regulates water balance,
emotional behavior, sexual response.

medulla - ✔✔the base of the brainstem; controls heartbeat and respiration,
phonation, blood pressure, regulates reflexes
pons - ✔✔the part of the brainstem that links the medulla oblongata and
the thalamus
Cerebellum - ✔✔A large structure of the hindbrain that controls fine motor
skills.
CNS (central nervous system) - ✔✔consists of the brain and spinal cord
PNS (peripheral nervous system) - ✔✔the sensory and motor neurons that
connect the CNS to the rest of the body
PNS - ✔✔somatic nervous system and autonomic nervous system
autonomic nervous system - ✔✔A subdivision of the peripheral nervous
system. Controls involuntary activity of visceral muscles and internal
organs and glands.
somatic nervous system - ✔✔A subdivision of the peripheral nervous
system. Enables voluntary actions to be undertaken due to its control of
skeletal muscles
sympathetic nervous system - ✔✔the division of the autonomic nervous
system that arouses the body, mobilizing its energy in stressful situations
