Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hypothalamus is the major processing center of internal stimuli for the autonomic nervous system. It maintains temperature control, water metabolism, body fluid osmolarity, feeding behavior, and neuroendocrine activity. The epithalamus houses the pineal body and is responsible for sexual development and behavior. The thalamus conveys all sensory impulses, except olfaction, to and from the cerebrum before their distribution to appropriate associative sensory areas. The abducens is the sixth cranial nerve with motor function responsible for lateral eye movement.
