The brain stem is about the size of a thumb in diameter and approximately 3 inches (approximately 7.5 cm) long. It structures are the midbrain, pons, and the medulla obongata. The midbrain is mostly composed of tracts of nerve fibers. The midbrain has two bulging fiber tract-cerebral peduncles. It also has four rounded protrusions. The midbrain reflex centers for vision and hearing. The pons are the bulging center part of the brain stem. It is mostly composed of fiber tracts. It includes nuclei involved in the control of breathing. The medulla oblongata is the lowest part of the brain stem, it merges into the spinal cord, includes important fiber tracts, and contains important control centers. Heart rate control, blood pressure regulation, breathing, swallowing and vomiting. Recticular formation, diffus mass of gray matter along the brain stem. Involved in motor control of visceral organs. Reticular activating system plays a role in awake/ sleep cycles and consciousness
The brainstem is to arousal as the limbic system is to emotion.
This is called brainstem herniation and may result in coma or death due to pressure on the vital respiratory centers in the brainstem.
No, the brainstem is down low, like the stem of a flower.
it is smaller sheep are very dump animals
Brainstem regulates the breathing, heart rate, sleeping and etaing. All information relayed from the body to the cerebrum and cerebellum and vice versa.And the brainstem transveres it.
The Pons - The Pons includes a bridge of fibers that connects the brainstem with the cerebellum.
The cerebellum connects to the brainstem via the pons, which are just above the medulla oblongota.
BRAINSTEM The medulla (located in the lower half of the brainstem).
The reticular formation is a network of neurons located in the brainstem. It is involved in regulating arousal, attention, and sleep-wake cycles.
The brainstem controls several body functions. Heart rate, Blood pressure, alertness and arousal are all controlled by the brainstem. In infants, there are studies that prove that the brain stem is partly in control of auditory functions.
