Pons Slide #1 |
|
|
1- Fourth Ventricle 2- Nodulus 3- Dentate Nucleus |
4- Reticular Formation 5- Middle Cerebellar Peduncle |
|
Sample slide questions: 1) Name structure #3, and the other associated nuclei. 2) How do the axons in #5 terminate? |
|
Pons Slide #2 |
|
|
1- Fourth Ventricle 2- Reticular Formation 3- Middle Cerebellar Peduncle |
4- Pontine Nuclei 5-Corticopontine, Corticospinal, and Corticobulbar Fibers |
|
Sample slide questions: 1) Assuming the fibers in #5 pass through the brainstem, where will they terminate? 2) Do the axons from #4 travel ipsi- or contralaterally?? |
|
Pons Slide #3 |
|
1- Fourth Ventricle 2- Superior Cerebellar Peduncle 3- Reticular Formation |
4- Middle Cerebellar Peduncle 5- Pontine Nuclei 6- Corticopontine, Corticospinal, and Coriticobulbar Fibers |
|
Sample slide questions: 1) Where are the nerve cell bodies that give rise to most of the fibers in #2? 2) Name one source of descending input to #5? |
|
Pons Slide #4 |
|
1- Fourth Ventricle 2- Superior Cerebellar Peduncle 3- Reticular Formation 4- Middle Cerebellar Peduncle |
5- Pontine Nuclei 6- Corticopontine, Corticospinal, and Coriticobulbar Fibers 7- Medial Lemniscus |
Sample slide questions: 1) Name one destination of the fibers exiting the cerebellum through #2. 2) Where are the nerve cell bodies that give rise to #7. |
