Key:
(a) cerebellum (d) striatum (g) midbrain
(b) corporaquadrigemina (e) hypothalamus (h) pons
(c) corpus callosum (f) medulla (i) thalamus
_____(1) basal nuclei involved in fine control of motor activities
_____(2) region where there is a gross crossover of fibers of descending pyramidal tracts
_____(3) control of temperature, autonomic nervous system reflexes, hunger, and water balance
_____(4) houses the substantia nigra and cerebral aqueduct
_____(5) relay stations for visual and auditory stimuli input; found in midbrain
_____(6) houses vital centers for control of the heart, respiration, and blood pressure
_____(7) brain area through which all the sensory input is relayed to get to the cerebral cortex
_____(8) brain area most concerned with equilibrium, body posture, and coordination of motor activity
