Answer 1

2. a.Corpus callosum- 5.large tract.

b.Septum pellucidum- 1. separates lateral ventricles.

c.Thalamus- 6. masses of grey matter within cerebral white matter.

d. Midbrain- 7. contains corpora quadrigemina.

e. Medulla oblongata- 2. continuous with spinal cord.

f. Cerebellum- 4.contains two hemisphere connected by the vermis.

g. Pons- 3.a "bridge" between midbrain and medulla oblongata.

h. Hypothalamus- 9. secretes hormone that control pituitary function.

i. Basal nuclei- 8. gateway for most sensory impulses en route to the cerebral.

3. Visual areas are located in the OCCIPITAL LOBE of the cerebral cortex of the brain.

4. FRONTAL LOBE which is the most anterior lobe of the brain contains several cortical areas that ceals with the control of muscle movement during speech and swallowing. It is the most anterior part of the brain and is also involved in cognitive functions like reasoning and judgment.
