``` alar lateral to medial: 1. somatic afferent 2. special visceral afferent 3. general visceral afferent basal lateral to medial: 4. general visceral efferent 5. special visceral efferent 6. somatic efferent ``` (same as the metencephalon)
32
The myelencephalon has a fourth structure from the alar plate. What is it? What does it do?
olivary nucleus | - allows for cerebellar input
33
Olivary nucleus: - which plate does it develop from? - function? - which developing brainstem section is it found in?
developed from alar plate allows for cerebellar input found in myelencephalon
34
Which basal and alar plate columns are present in the metencephalon? What order are they in lateral to medial?
``` alar lateral to medial: 1. somatic afferent 2. special visceral afferent 3. general visceral afferent basal lateral to medial: 4. general visceral efferent 5. special visceral efferent 6. somatic efferent ``` (same as the myelencephalon)
35
What is the function of the pons?
pathway for nerve fibers between spinal cord, cerebral cortices and cerebellar cortises
36
Which part of the brainstem is the pathway for nerve fibers between spinal cord, cerebral cortices and cerebellar cortises?
the pons
37
What is the function of the cerebellum?
coordination center for posture and movement
38
Which part of the brain is the coordinator center for posture and movement?
cerebellum
39
Which part of the developing brainstem contains the rhombic lips?
metencephalon
40
Rhombic lips - What are these/how do they develop? - Where are they found? - What do they develop into?
dorsal, lateral parts of alar plates grow out and encompass the fourth ventricle they merge together to form the CEREBELLAR PLATE to form the CEREBELLUM rhombic lips develop in the metencephalon
41
What are the cerebellar plates? How/where do they develop and into what?
Cerebellar plates are formed once the rhombic lips of the metencephalon (pons) merge together encompassing the fourth ventricle cerebellar plates form the cerebellum

What happens during month 2 of the growing cerebellar plates?
the cerebellar plates meet across the midline

Diencephalon forms from the ___ portion of the prosencephalon
medial

57
What forms the pinneal body?
the roof plate of the diencephalon
58
Development of the diencephalon is characterized by the appearance of _____
development of the diencephalon is characterized by the appearance of 2 pairs of prominent swellings on lateral walls of the 3rd ventricle
59
Hypothalamic sulcus: where is it and what does it divide?
found in diencephalon in alar plate divides diencephalon into paired swellings: hypothalamus and thalamus
60

bubble like outgrowth
61
What does the telencephalon look like at week 16?
hemispheres are oval and expand back to cover diencephalon
62
Describe the roof and lateral walls of the telencephalon. What will this develop into?
THIN roof and lateral walls develops into cerebral cortex
63
Describe the floor of the telencephalon. What will this develop into?
