Midbrain
This area connects cerebral hemispheres and peripheral and cranial sensory input systems
A link between the Midbrain page 144
Internally, this area consists of two parts: the pontine tegmentum and the basis pontis

tectum (roof), tegmentum, and basis pedunculi are part of what structure
What are the three divisions of the Midbrain page 145.
This area contains fibers of the medial lemniscus that are responsible for mediating fine discriminative touch in the body.
What is the responsibilty/function of the Pons 147
This area of the brain regulates what vital functions
What functions of the pons regulate the heartbeat, blood pressure, and rhythm/rate of breathing? 149
This three-cellular–layered structure contributes to what functions
What is the maintenance of equilibrium and coordination of skilled motor activities? page 150
Integrates all sensorimotor stimuli in the reticular formation
What are internally generated thoughts, emotions, and cognition? 241
This neurotransmitter is responsible for generating information that is vital to cortical, subcortical, brainstem, and spinal cord functions.
What is Dopamine in the Midbrain 144
Contains a specialized center that controls the rhythm of respiration

What are auditory, and visual reflexes, and head movements of the Midbrain? slide 67 chapter 1-2
Area regulates facial movements and sensations.
What functions does the Pons regulate pg53
What are the functions of the Medulla
what are respiratory activity, heart rate, and blood pressure pg 53
This area regulates/monitors what types of positions and muscular adjustments
What are the head, body positions, and muscular adjustments? 552
Area of the brain is essential for regulating what
what are visceral, sensorimotor, and neuroendocrine activities, including blood pressure and movements? pg 241
This complex circuitry makes it possible for the organism to rapidly adjust limb, head, and eye movements to a sudden stimulus (startle) or stumbling (equilibrium reflex).
What are the functions of the Midbrain 145
This structure is separated from the midbrain by the superior pontine sulcus and from the medulla by the inferior pontine sulcus
What is the Metencephalic structure pg 147
Important structures are found here in the are the corticospinal fibers (pyramidal tract), the dorsal lemniscal column (fasciculus gracilis and fasciculus cuneatus), the medial lemniscus, the inferior cerebellar peduncle, the principal (inferior) olivary nucleus, the reticular formation, and many cranial nerve nuclei.
