Term
Hind brain
Definition

Pons

Medula oblongata

cerebellum

Term

Pons

(part of the hindbrain)

Definition

ventral to the cerebellum (in front)

 

connects information from cerebellar hemispheres to the cortex

Term
The difference between cerebrum and cerebellum and medula
Definition
The cerebrum is what most people think of when they hear brain. It is the largest part located at the top, split into two halves and connected by large nerves. It controls thought, logic, reasoning, memory, behavior, and all the senses.
The cerebellum is a smaller part located on the back and bottom of the cerebrum. It controls all the motor skills.
The medulla oblongata is a very small portion located at the base of the skull/top of the spinal cord which controls involuntary functions such as breathing, heart rate, powering up and down of the cerebrum, etc.

Definition

Smallest, most superior part of brainstem

Comprised of cerebral peduncles

Fibers that connect the cerebral hemispheres to pons

Contains nuclei for two cranial nerves

(trochlear and occulomotor)(movement of eyes)
