Deeper Brain Structures
This brain system regulates emotion, motivation, learning, and memory.
What is the limbic system?
These preganglionic axons are longer and closer to the target organ.
What are parasympathetic preganglionic axons?
The basal ganglia are primarily involved in this function.
What is the control of movement and muscle tone?
Sympathetic preganglionic neurons have this distinguishing location feature.
What is being closer to the spinal cord?
This component of the basal ganglia includes the globus pallidus and putamen.
What is the lentiform nucleus?
The part of the Autonomic nervous system that is in charge of fight or flight.
what is the sympathetic nervous system?
These are the major structures of the limbic system.
What are the amygdala, hippocampus, hypothalamus, thalamus, and cingulate gyrus?
The part of the Autonomic nervous system that is in charge of rest and digest.
What is the parasympathetic nervous system?
