12. Structures of the central nervous system: BRAIN
Limbic system
Located in the center of the brain
Encircles the top of the brain stem.
Composed of the amygdala, hippocampus, cingulated gyrus, and other intricate structures. (Informational only for reference.)

Sympathetic nervous system
Extends from the base of the brain, along both sides of the spinal column
These nerves connect to all internal organs
Parasympathetic nervous system
The vagus nerve connects the medulla with organs of the upper body
The pelvic nerve emerges from the spinal cord and connects with the organs of the lower body

24. Structures of the central nervous system Somatic nervous system
These nerves are located along the spinal cord.
Connect skeleton, muscles and joints to the brain.
