Q

what are the general functions of the brain stem?

A

conduit –> allows ascending and descending pathways to reach the thalamus and cerebellum from the spinal cord
integrative –> has a lot of functions –> respiratory, cardiovascular, consicousness
cranial nerve –> root

Q

what structure is between the 3rd and 4th ventricle? What is a possible problem that could occur?

A

it is the cerebral aqueduct. It can become blocked and therefore CSF can build up in this space and can cause swelling of the brain. In kids the skull is flexible and can adapt to the growing brain but in adults the skull is fixed and therefore more of a problem.
