Introduction

Includes development and overview of the system (Paragraph format)

Structure and Function

Structures Present Function
Hindbrain (Rhombencephalon) Myelencephalon - Medulla Oblongata

Metencephalon - Pons and Cerebellum

Medulla Oblongata - Cranial nerves, hearing, visceral fibres

Pons - Fibres to cerebrum

Cerebellum - Posture, balance etc

Medulla Oblongata

Pons

Cerebellum

  • The cerebellum:
    • Inhibits upper motor neurons
    • Co-ordinates movement
