FMA50801Nervous system
The central part of the brainstem bridging the midbrain and medulla oblongata, serving as a relay between the cerebral cortex and cerebellum.
Relays neural signals between the cerebral cortex and cerebellum and houses nuclei for cranial nerves V–VIII.
Ventral brainstem in the posterior cranial fossa, situated between the midbrain superiorly and medulla inferiorly.
Jump directly to connected anatomical structures to compare their locations, functions, and 3D relationships.
Sensory organs detect external stimuli (light, sound, balance) and transmit neural signals via cranial nerves to the brain.
Motor pathways in the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves direct skeletal muscle contraction and coordination.
The hypothalamus links the nervous system to the endocrine system by regulating hormone release from the pituitary gland.
