• spinal gland
• cerebrum gland
• pituatary gland

The ______ helps coordinate and fine‑tune movement and balance.

• medulla
• cerebrum

This portion of the central nervous system runs down the inside of the spinal column, connecting the brain with nerves going to the rest of the body.

• mid brain

• cerebellum

The ________ regulates functions like thirst, appetite, and sleep patterns. It also regulates the release of hormones from the pituitary gland

What is the main purpose of the myelin sheathes around neurons?
