If this part of our brain were damaged we could no longer breathe on our own?
hindbrain.
The cerebellum is part of the what?
Hindbrain
Which part of the hindbrain is involved in sleep and arousal?
Non-sexual arousal (such as motor function) is centered in the brainstem.
What is the largest part of the hindbrain?
cerebellum
What are the three main division of the brain and their function?
prosencephalon (forebrain), mesencephalon (midbrain), rhombencephalon (hindbrain)
Which one of the cerebellar peduncles that contains afferent fibers only?
It's the middle cerebellar peduncle.As for superior cerebellar and inferior cerebellar peduncles, they are both contain afferent and efferent fibres.
Which cerebellar peduncle is the smallest?
Superior cerebellar peduncle (it's also the most medial of the 3 peduncles)
What are two parts in the hindbrain and what is there function?
The pons, the medulla, and the cerebellum are the three parts of the hindbrain. The hindbrain controls most voluntary and involuntary movements.
What connects the dentate nucleus to the thalamus?
The pathway that connects the dentate nuclei to the ventro-lateral thalamus is called the dentatothalamic tract. This is contained within the superior cerebellar peduncles.
What is an evaluation of cerebellar function and balance?
Romberg test
What is the function of Hindbrain?
controls basic functions such as breathing, heart rate, & blood pressure The hindbrain includes the cerebellum, the pons, and the medulla oblongata.
What assessment specifically evaluates cerebellar function?
The assessment of cerebellar function is used to evaluate the cerebellum. The test involves reaching out to touch points with the fingertip, tapping rhythmically and moving limbs accurately.
What part of the human body system does the cerebellum belong to?
The cerebellum works with the brainstem through means of the cerebellar peduncles. These bundles of nerve fibers are connected to the medulla oblongata by a pair of inferior peduncles, middle peduncles connect to the pons and superior peduncles connect to the midbrain. The main function of the cerebellum is mainly assessing certain types of sensory input (such as touch) and assisting in the monitoring of muscle movement. Other functions it may be linked to are spacial perception, timekeeping (such as judging elapsed time; predicting where the location of a moving object in a few seconds), distinguishing between two similar sounding words/tones, planning and scheduling tasks, controlling emotions/ impulse and maintaining attention.
What is the function of cerebral peduncles?
The cerebral peduncle is made of nerve fibers. There is one on each side of the brain, and they help transport nerve impulses from the higher part of the brain to the brain stem. Its main function is to control body movement.
What is the plural of peduncle?
peduncles
Where is location cerebral peduncles?
cerebellum
Which cerebellar peduncle is the thickest?
Middle cerebellar peduncle
