Cerebellum Flashcards

1
Q

Cerebellum

A 
3 layers
Purkinje cells
"Little cerebrum"
Makes up about 50% of the neurons
Volume is 10% of the brain
NOT for sensation!!!

Q

Connect cerbellum with midbrain

Contain mostly EFFERENT fibers

A

Superior cerebellar peduncle

Processed output travels

17
Q

Connects cerebellum with the medulla and spinal cord

Contain BOTH afferent and efferent fibers

A

Inferior cerebellar peduncle

Peripheral information about the body enters the cerebellum through here

18
Q

Exception!

Know about:

A

Vestibular system

19
Q

Are there nuclear structures inside the brain?

A

Yes!

Subcortical neurons: basal ganglia, thalamus, caudate

20
Q

Most impt letter in neuroanatomy?

A

C (Dentate nuclei)

21
Q

Are there neuronal cells in the cerebellum?

A 
White matter (medullary center)!
Called cerebellar nuclei
22
Q

All fibers going out in the cerebellum pass through the superior cerebellar peduncle but not all come in…

A

They pass through the ventral spinocerebellar tract

23
Q

Tract

A

Fiber, white matter

24
Q

Why ipsilateral?

A

Cerebro Cerebello Cerebral Circuit

Corticospinal tract
