FMA50801Nervous system
A paired deep gray matter structure of the diencephalon that relays sensory and motor signals to the cerebral cortex.
A paired deep gray matter structure of the diencephalon that relays sensory and motor signals to the cerebral cortex.
Situated in the cranial / head region (midline / bilateral aspect, central plane) within the nervous system.
Jump directly to connected anatomical structures to compare their locations, functions, and 3D relationships.
Sensory organs detect external stimuli (light, sound, balance) and transmit neural signals via cranial nerves to the brain.
Motor pathways in the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves direct skeletal muscle contraction and coordination.
The hypothalamus links the nervous system to the endocrine system by regulating hormone release from the pituitary gland.
