L11 Flashcards
part of the forebrain which lies above the midbrain, between the lower parts of the 2 cerebral hemispheres.
DIENCEPHALON
DIENCEPHALON consists of:
- Thalamus
- Subthalamus (directly above midbrain)
- Hypothalamus (lies in front of subthalamus)
- Metathalamus (lateral & medial geniculate body)
- Epithalamus ( pineal body, 2 habenular nuclei & commissures & posterior commissure)
lies between the 2 halves of the diencephalon?
The third ventricle
anterior end of the thalamus is narrow and rounded and forms the?
posterior boundary of the IVF
medial surface of the thalamus forms?
Lateral wall of 3rd V
(interthalamic adhesion B/W to thalami on medial surface )
The posterior end of thalamus is expanded to form the :
pulvinar
….. of thalamus is continuous with the tegmentum of the midbrain?
inferior surface
-thalamus is covered on its superior surface by a thin layer of white matter, called the……………
and on its lateral surface by another layer called ……………
stratum zonale
the external medullary lamina.
The gray matter of the thalamus is divided by a vertical sheet of white matter, into medial and lateral halves called?
internal medullary lamina
LATERAL PART of the thalamus subdivided into
Dorsal tier and a Ventral tier ( parts or nuclei )
DORSAL TIER OF THE NUCLEI: Include:
• Lateral dorsal nucleus
• Lateral posterior nucleus
• Pulvinar.بس ذا مهم منه
VENTRAL TIER OF THE NUCLEI: Include: مهم كله
• Ventral anterior nucleus = VLA
• Ventral lateral nucleus ( intermediate) = VLI
• Ventral posterior nucleus = VLP divided > VLPM + VLPL
