• damage to cerebellum

Question 15

Two sections of the midbrain

Answer 15

Tegmentum
Tectum

Question 16

The Mid brain

Answer 16

coordinates basic functions related to perception and action (controls basic functions)

Question 17

Tectum

Answer 17

Responsible for spacial orientating

Question 18

Tegmentum

Answer 18

related to movement - not deciding where or when to move
making action happen without thinking
