  1. Chapter 14, part 2 The Brain and Cranial Nerves

  2. SECTION 14-3The Medulla Oblongata

  3. Medulla oblongata • Connects the brain with the spinal cord • Contains relay stations and reflex centers • Olivary nuclei • Cardiovascular and respiratory rhythmicity centers • Reticular formation begins in the medulla oblongata and extends into more superior portions of the brainstem

  8. SECTION 14-4The Pons

  9. The pons contains • Sensory and motor nuclei for four cranial nerves • Nuclei that help control respiration • Nuclei and tracts linking the cerebellum with the brain stem, cerebrum and spinal cord • Ascending, descending and transverse tracts

  12. SECTION 14-5The Cerebellum

  13. The cerebellum • Adjusts postural muscles and tunes on-going movements • Cerebellar hemispheres • Anterior and posterior lobes • Vermis • Flocculonodular lobe • Superior, middle and inferior cerebellar peduncles link cerebellum with brain stem, diencephalon, cerebrum, and spinal cord • Interconnects the two cerebellar hemispheres

  16. SECTION 14-6The Mesencephalon

  17. The mesencephalon • The tectum (roof) contains the corpora quadrigemina • Superior and inferior colliculi • The mesencephalon contains many nuclei • Red nucleus • Substantia nigra • Cerebral peduncles • RAS headquarters

  19. SECTION 14-7The Diencephalon

  20. The diencephalon is composed of • Epithalamus • Hypothalamus • Thalamus

  21. The thalamus • Final relay point for ascending sensory information • Coordinates the activities of the cerebral cortex and basal nuclei

  22. Figure 14.11 The Thalamus Figure 14.11a, b

  23. The hypothalamus • Controls somatic motor activities at the subconscious level • Controls autonomic function • Coordinates activities of the endocrine and nervous systems • Secretes hormones • Produces emotions and behavioral drives • Coordinates voluntary and autonomic functions • Regulates body temperature • Coordinates circadian cycles of activity
