A group of nerves that connects the cerebral cortex (the outermost layer of the cerebral hemisphere) with the medulla. It is involved in arousal, sleep, daydreaming, waking, breathing and coordination of some muscles and motor tone.
A) Medulla
Cerebellum
A hindbrain structure located at the base of thebrainstem. The cerebellum coordinates gait and maintains posture, controls muscle tone and voluntary muscle activity but is unable to initiate muscle contraction.
A) cerebellum
Pons
The primary function of the pons is to transmit signals between your forebrain and cerebellum. The pons is essential in sending information to your body, giving you sensory cues and motor information. This means the pons can help you taste, touch, and communicate.

C) Medulla
Thalamus
The thalamus in the forebrain acts as a filter from sensory organs (exceptthenose) to the appropriate areas of the brain
A) Thalamus
cerebrum
The largest part of the brain, the cerebrum initiates and coordinates movement and regulates temperature. Other areas of the cerebrum enable speech, judgment, thinking and reasoning, problem-solving, emotions and learning. Other functions relate to vision, hearing, touch and other senses.

B) cerebellum
C) brainstem
Hypothalamus
Its main function is to keep your body in a stable state called homeostasis. It does its job by directly influencing your autonomic nervous system or by managing hormones.
