Conceptual Framework of the Hindbrain |
|
The hindbrain conceptually consists of 3 ovoids The pons is anterior and superior (light pink), the medulla is smaller and is anterior and inferior, and the cerebellum is the largest and is posterior. Courtesy Ashley Davidoff MD Copyright 2010 all rights reserved 92141.3kd03b03b01.8s |
The Concept In Vivo |
|
The 3 ovoids are situated in the posterior cranial fossa the pons is anterior and superior (light pink), the medulla is smaller and is anterior and inferior, and the cerebellum is the largest and is posterior. Courtesy Ashley Davidoff MD Copyright 2010 all rights reserved 92141.3kd03b03b.8s |
Advancing the Parts of the Midbrain |
|
The shapes in fact are not quite ovoid. The pons (lightest pink) has shapes reminiscent of an oversize egg lying in a small bed The anterior eggshaped portion is called the ventral or anterior pons and the posterior portion called the tegmentum which is a continuation of the tegmentum of the midbrain. The medulla oblongata is almost rectangular but has a subtle forward bulging to its anterior surface. The anterior portion is called the ventral or anterior medulla and the posterior portion is called the tegmentum,similar in name a nad a continuation of th etegmentum of the midbrain and pons The cerebellum is situated posteriorly, is the largest of the three major components and it consists of two hemispheres and a central vermis better appreciated in the axial plane.
