27
Afferent
Sensory nerve carrying messages back to the brain
28
Efferent
Motor nerves carry messages away from the brain
29
Neocorte
Outer layer of brain, grey matter. Not as engaged and thick in animals as it is in people. This is helpful in vet med makes it easier for animals to come back from injury unlike people.

Produce and release several hormonnes that help with things like metabolism and reproduction
33
Choroid plexus
Prodution of CSF
34
Medulla oblangata
controls heart function, part of the autonomic nervous system
35
Hypothalamus
Autonomic nervous system. Above the pituitary gland. Produces hormones that will be released by the pituitary gland, CNS nuclei control many things we are not in control of
