What is the origin of tectospinal tract?
It arises from superior colliculus of midbrain.
What is the function of posterior commisure?
to connect superior colliculus, pretectal nucleus and medial longitudinal bundle (MLB) of both sides of the midbrain together - these structures are involved in the bilateral pupillary light reflex.
What sensory organ does the superior collicli relay on?
The superior colliculus (upper hill) coordinates eye movement. Normally the eye moves around, looking here and there but at times is drawn to a spot on "the map". This is a 3-D map a person has put together. This spot is something of interest. The brain thinks it might be "danger". Many other species have this same colliculus.
What is the function of inferior colliculus?
It is part of the auditory system, located in the midbrain. It helps integrate auditory information in the brain.
What is function of inferior colliculus?
It is part of the auditory system, located in the midbrain. It helps integrate auditory information in the brain.
What is the area of the brainstem concerned with eye tracking reflexes involved in reading?
The area of the brainstem concerned with eye tracking reflexes involved in reading is the superior colliculus. It plays a crucial role in controlling rapid eye movements, called saccades, which are important for shifting attention between words or lines while reading. Damage to the superior colliculus can lead to difficulties in reading fluency and eye movement coordination.
Which area is responsible for the head and eye movement in response to visual stimuli?
Frontal Eye Field
What is the function of the superior venacava?
The superior venacava navigates deoxygenated blood back to the heart to get reoxygenated
Inferior colliculus size differences in individuals whom are blind?
Depending of the condition of the blindness (blindness happening in adulthood or childhood), the inferior colliculus may be slightly larger (more developed) than others because it is the auditory reflex center.
What is the function of superior and inferior venacava?
What does the inferior venacava do
What is the function of superior vena cena?
The function of superior and inferior vena cava is to take blood to the heart. The two veins will carry blood that is low in oxygen from the body to the heart.
Function of the superior vena cava?
to send blood back to the heart
