Chapter 39, Problem 5RQ
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The function of the following parts of human brain; medulla, cerebellum, reticular formation, thalamus, amygdale and cerebral cortex.
Introduction:
The human brain is the complex structure. It is responsible for many different functions. It plays an important role in signal transmission, human nervous system it receives input from the sensory organs and sends output to the muscles. Human brain has three main parts: The forebrain, midbrain, and hind brain.

Trace the major neuronal pathways to and from the brain. Include the name of the Pathway (or Tract), whether the tract is ascending (sensory) or descending (motor), what it basically does (e.g. type of stimulus) , and where it decussates (i.e. crosses the midline, which not all cross).
Make an organizational chart showing the CNS, PNS, brain, spinalcord, spinal nerves, cranial nerves, forebrain, brainstem, cerebrum,diencephalon, midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata, and cerebellum?
