|
|
Telencephalon |
Contains cerebral cortex - memory and creative thought |
|
|
Diencephalon |
Contains thalamus and hypothalamus - controls hunger thirst sex drive water balance blood pressure temp regulation |
|
|
Mesencephalon |
Midbrain - visual and auditory impulse |
|
|
Rhombencephalon |
Hindbrain consists of cerebellum pons and medulla Cerebullum - maintenance of balance hand eye coordination and timing of rapid movements Pons - allows cortex to communicate with cerebellum Medulla oblongata - controls breathing, heart rate, gastrointestinal activity |
