Top of the brainstem; relay for visual and auditory reflexes, eye movement, arousal

3
New cards

Pons

Bridge between the cerebrum and cerebellum; helps regulate breathing rate

4
New cards

Medulla oblongata

Controls involuntary vitals: heart rate, breathing, blood pressure

5
New cards

Brainstem order top to bottom

Midbrain, then pons, then medulla

6
New cards

Cerebellum

Balance, posture, muscle coordination, and fine motor control

7
New cards

Cerebellum location

Posterior and inferior to the occipital lobe, behind the brainstem

8
New cards

Ataxia

Loss of balance and coordination from cerebellar damage

9
New cards

Dysarthria

Slurred, poorly coordinated speech from motor control damage

10
New cards

Reticular activating system

Network through the brainstem that controls arousal and wakefulness
