8. carries impulses from the eyeball to the brain
9. coordination of movement and balance
10. relays and regulates sensory information to the cerebrum

b. it is composed of ependymal cells and blood capillaries.
c. it receives and filters all sensory information.
d. it produces and circulates cerebrospinal fluid.
Which of the following statements is false? a. The spinothalamic tracts are part of the anterolateral system. b. Pain, temperature, and crude touch stimuli are carried by the anterolateral system. c. Descending pathways from the brain and spinal cord can make the spinal cord less receptive to pain stimuli. d.
