Which of the three is the inferior-most and joins with the spinal cord At what opening, the two unite?

conducts umpulses related to the sense of smell

supplies the sternocleidomastoid muscles and part of the trapezius muscles

uppermost portion of the brainstem and form a connecting bridge between the medulla and the midbrain. It is found in front of the fourth ventricle and the cerebellum Functionally, this functions as conduction pathway of impulses and helps control respiration

Maintenance of homeostasis by helping to control the chemical environment of the central nervous system, and 3. It conveys excess components and unwanted substances away from the extracellular fluid and into the venous portion of the blood circulatory system.

composed of two egg-shaped masses of gray matter covered by a thin layer of white mater. It is located in the center of the cranial cavity, directly beneath the cerebrum and above the hypothalamus

separated from the occipital lobe of the cerebrum by a fold of dura mater called .

narrow segment of nervous tissue that connects the forebrain with the hindbrain. This extends from the pons to the lower portion of the diencephalon. It is, therefore, a segment of the brainstem located between the diencephalon and the pons

found between parietal lobe and occipital lobe)

arachnoid membrane is made up of what?

the lobe located closest to the ears. It has critical functional roles in hearing, equilibrium and to a certain degree emotion and memory.

Which division the pons, medulla oblongata and midbrain belong?

Functionally, this is the intermediate relay point and processing center for all sensory impulses (except the sense of smell) ascending to the cerebral cortex from the spinal cord, brainstem, cerebellum, basal ganglia and other sources.

what hemispher of cerebrum usually active in speech, writing, calculation, language, comprehension, analytical thought processes and sorting out parts of things:

ventricles include?

cerebellar hemispheres are the larger lobes These are considered as the lateral wings and are separated by an extension of cranial dura mater called falxcerebelli

supplies the lateral muscle of the eyeball

The cerebrum separates from the cerebellum by a deep groove
