Cerebellum Anatomy Flashcards
What are the functional divisions of the cerebellum?
1) Flocculonodular
2) Vermis
3) Paravermis
4) Lateral Hemisphere
Label this cerebellum
Label this cerebellum
Label this cerebellum
___ increases the SA of the cerebellum
Folia
Label the deep cerebellar nuclei
True or False: The cerebellum is made up of the white matter core, deep cerebellar nuclei, and the cerebellar cortex
True
Label the cerebellar peduncles
True or False: The middle cerebellar peduncle connects that medulla to the cerebellium
False - the middle cerebellar peduncle connects PONS to CEREBELLUM
Which cranial nerve exits/enters via the middle cerebellar peduncle?
Trigeminal nerve
Which cerebellar peduncle connects the medulla to the cerebellum?
A. Superior Cerebellar Peduncle
B. Middle Cerebellar Peduncle
C. Inferior Cerebellar Peduncle
C. Inferior Cerebellar Peduncle
Which cerebellar peduncle connects the medulla to the cerebellum?
A. Superior Cerebellar Peduncle
B. Middle Cerebellar Peduncle
C. Inferior Cerebellar Peduncle
C. Inferior Cerebellar Peduncle
Which fissure in the cerebellum separates it into two anatomical regions: anterior love and posterior lobe?
Deep primary fissue
Which is the smallest lobe in the cerebellum?
A. Flocculonodular
B. Vermis
C. Posterior Lobe
A. Flocculonodular
True or False: The cerebellar peduncles connect the brainstem to the cerebellum
True
What are the three layers of the folia, which makes up the cerebellum?
1) Molecular - most external
2) Purkinje
3) Granular - most internal
True or False: Subcortical white mater forms the core of the folium. It is composed of only afferent fibers.
False - it is composed of afferent fibbers ARRIVING from the cerebral cortex or EFFERENT fibers leaving the cerebral cortex
Deep in the cerebellar medullary center are four paired nuclei (fastigial, globose, emoliform, and dentate). What is their function?
Required for pathways leaving the cerebellum
