Study Notes
Brain Stem Structures
- The brain stem consists of the pons, midbrain, and medulla.
- It connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls essential life functions.
Structures Not Part of the Brain Stem
- Cerebral Hemispheres: Comprising the left and right halves of the brain, involved in higher cognitive functions.
- Cerebellum: Positioned at the back of the brain, responsible for coordinating movement and balance.
- Diencephalon: Includes structures like the thalamus and hypothalamus, involved in sensory and autonomic functions.
Importance of Understanding Brain Anatomy
- Recognizing which structures form the brain stem helps in understanding neurological functions and disorders.
- Differentiating these structures is crucial for medical and psychological explanations related to brain injuries or diseases.
