Week 2 Review

Warm-up Exercises

Ventral Brainstem

From memory, draw and label:

  • Ventral brainstem and it's parts
  • Cranial nerves
    • Sensory, motor or both?
  • "Bumps" and sulci

Posterior Brainstem

From memory, draw and label:

  • The medulla, pons and midbrain.
  • Cranial nerves.
  • Cerebellar peduncles.
  • All the "bumps", bodies and 

Spinal Cord Sections

Draw and label the following sections of the brainstem:

  • Caudal Medulla
  • Rostral Medulla
  • Caudal Pons
  • Middle Pons
