cerebellum--intensive

Question 1

cerebullum

Answer 1

• divided into two hemispheres connected by structure called vermis (worm)
• covered in ridges called folia–increases surface area
• 3 lobes: anterior, posterior, flocculonodular

-fxn: coordinate movement; functionally connected to cerebra cortex, basal nuclei, brainstem, and spinal cord

Question 2

structures/parts of cerebullum

Answer 2

• cerebellar cortex–outer layer of gray matter
• arbor vitae-white matter, resembles tree branches
• deep cerebellar nuclei–clusters of grey matter in arbor vitae
• cerebellar peduncles: convergence of white matter tracts–ONLY connection btwn cerebellum and brain stem
