CNS and PNS

Which of the following make up the brainstem

• midbrain

• medulla

• pons

• cerebellum

The cerebral white matter

• conducts, processes, and sends information to varies parts of the body

• is fully developed by age 20

• interprets sensory information from various parts of the body

• has a large number of present neurons

The brainstem is responsible for

• Controlling digestion and metabolism.
• Producing hormones and regulating body temperature.
• Processing sensory information and controlling movement.
• Regulating basic functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.
