Anatomy II Flashcards
The functional regions are?
Vermis
Paravermis
Lateral Hemisphere
The vermis is?
in the midline
The paravermis is?
intermediate zone, medial hemisphere lies adjacent to the vermis
The lateral hemisphere is?
Lateral zone is the largest and most lateral region
The flocculonodular lobe is also known as the?
vestibulocerebellum
Together the vermis and paravermis are known as the?
Spinocerebellum -because of the extensive communication with the spinal cord
The lateral hemisphere is also known as the?
cerebrocerebellum because of its extensive communication with the cerebellum.
Vestibulocerebellum principal input source is?
vestibular nerves and nuclei visual system
spinocerebellum principal input source is?
spinal cord (unconscious proprioception)
Cerebrocerebellum principal input source is?
Cerebrum (via corticopontine pathway)
All three divisions of the afferent cerebellar pathways the principal input source is?
inferior olive
The cerebellum outputs of cerebellum are?
Vestibular nuclei
Reticular formation and reticulospinal tracts
Contralateral red nucleus
Contralateral VL nucleus of the thalamus
The cerebellar peduncles input and output “bridges” between the cerebellum and the brainstem are?
Inferior cerebellar peduncle
middle cerebellar peduncle
superior cerebellar peduncle
-input to cerebellum exceeds output 3:1
The inferior cerebellar peduncle carries input from almost everywhere except?
pontine nuclei
The inferior cerebellar peduncle rostral medulla and caudal pons at?
the pontomedullary junction
