Gray matter - Deep in the brain lie additional clusters of gray matter (Fig. 17-2). These include the basal ganglia, which affect movement, and the thalamus and the hypothala- mus structures in the diencephalon. The thalamus processes sensory impulses and relays them to the cerebral cortex. The hypothalamus maintains homeostasis (Bickley) - and regulates temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure. The hypothalamus affects the endocrine system and governs emotional behaviors such as anger and sexual drive. Hormones secreted in the hypothalamus act directly on the pitu- itary gland. (Bickley)

- Deep in the brain lie additional clusters of gray matter (Fig. 17-2). These include the
basal ganglia, which affect movement, and the thalamus and the hypothala- mus
structures in the diencephalon. The thalamus processes sensory impulses and relays
them to the cerebral cortex. The hypothalamus maintains homeostasis (Bickley)

- The internal capsule is a white-matter structure where myelinated fibers converge from
all parts of the cerebral cortex and descend into the brainstem. The brainstem, which
connects the upper part of the brain with the spinal cord, has three sec- tions: the
midbrain, the pons, and the medulla. (Bickley)

- Consciousness relies on the interaction between intact cerebral hemispheres and a
structure in the diencephalon and upper brainstem, the reticular activating (arousal)
system.
- The cerebellum, which lies at the base of the brain, coordinates all movement and
helps maintain the body upright in space. (Bickley)

and pain, and the autonomic nervous system that connects to internal organs and
gener- ates autonomic reflex responses. The autonomic nervous system consists of the
sympathetic nervous system, which "mobilizes organs and their functions during times
of stress and arousal, and the para- sympathetic nervous system, which conserves
yc
energy and resources during times of rest and relaxation."5 (Bickley)

- The PNS includes spinal and peripheral nerves that carry impulses to and from the
cord. A total of 31 pairs of spinal nerves attach to the spinal cord: 8 cervical, 12 thoracic,
5 lumbar, 5 sacral, and 1 coccygeal. Each nerve has an anterior (ventral) root
containing motor fibers, and a posterior (dorsal) root containing sensory fibers. The
anterior and posterior roots merge to form a short spinal nerve, <5 mm long. Spinal

, nerve fibers commingle with similar fibers from other levels in plexuses outside the cord,
from which peripheral nerves emerge. Most peripheral nerves contain both sensory
(afferent) and motor (efferent) fibers. (Bickley)
