Mesencefal Flashcards
What are the 2 craneal nerves that arise from the midbrain(mesencefal)
Oculomotor (III)
Troclear (IV)
Medial 1/5 of the peduncles contains
Corticospinal fibres (frontospinal)
Lateral 1/5 of the peducles contains
- Parietopontines
- Occipitopontines
- Temporopontines
Middle 3/5th of the puduncles contain
corticoespinales(via piramidal)
corticonucleares
Via directa of the nucli vermell
Fibres Corticoespinals
Via indirecta del nucli vermell
Fibres corticorubrals
Where does the Corticospinal fibre decussate ?
pyramidal bulbars
Which fibres/tracts originate from the nucli vermell and are they homo or contralateral
The rubro-espinal, contralaterals. They originate from the corticorubral fibre.
Which fibres that pass through the nucli vermell decussate?
Pudencle cerebeloso superior(pero doble depues de n. vermell) y rubroespinal
Afferences and efferences of the n. vermell
Afferences:
1. Corticorubral HL
2. Peduncles cerebe sup. CL(doble)
Efferences:
1. Rubroespinal CL
