Study Notes
Brain Stem
- The brainstem connects the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord.
- It is composed of the medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain.
Medulla Oblongata
- The medulla oblongata is the lowermost portion of the brainstem.
- Forms the lower part of the floor of the fourth ventricle.
- It lies in front of the cerebellum.
Pons
- The pons is the middle portion of the brainstem.
- The dorsal surface of the pons forms the upper part of the floor of the fourth ventricle.
Midbrain
- The midbrain is the uppermost portion of the brainstem.
- The anterior surface of the brain stem.
- The posterior surface of the brain stem.
Cranial Nerves
- The olfactory nerve is not attached to the brain stem.
Facial Colliculus
- The facial colliculus is formed by the facial nerve and the abducent nucleus.
