Diencephalon
what subdivision of diencephalonis superior to thalamus & third ventricle and contains pineal gland and produces hormones
epithalamus
which partof the diencephalon is known as the "switcboard" for all sensory impulses to cerebral cortex
thalamus
The hypothalamus
part of diencephalon and coordinates neural & endocrine functions, regulates basic visceral functions
which part of the brainstem has colluculi-viscual & auditory nuclei
midbrain
which part of the brainstem has fiber tracts, joins cerebellum to brainstem
PONS

is in the brainstem, below the pons.. Cardiovascular & Rep. joins brain and spinal cord
name the ventricles
latereal, third and fourth
