Question 1

Cerebellum

-> ventral to occipital + temporal lobe

Answer 1

• motor learning
• sense of body position
• balance + equilibrium
• fine movement coordination

Question 2

Reticular formation

-> anterior to medulla, pons, midbrain, hypo + thalamus

Answer 2

connects spinal cord + encephalon

• regulation sleep-wake cycle
• control of automatic nervous + endocrine system
• muscle tone + balance + respiratory muscles

Question 3

Pons

• > dorsal to medulla
• > ventral to cerebellum

Answer 3

• nerve fibre pathway -> cerebral cortex + cerebellum
• respiratory breathing rhythm
• active funtioning -> REM sleep

Question 4

Medulla

• > posterior to spinal cord
• > lowest structure

Answer 4
