TERM 1
3 Functions of Cerebellum
DEFINITION 1
1. Proprioception 2. Equilibrium/Balance 3. Coordination of
motor movements - controls speed, force, and duration of
movements
TERM 2
Flocculonodular Lobe
DEFINITION 2
The flocculonodular lobe is a lobe of the cerebellum
consisting of the nodule and the flocculus.
TERM 3
Flocculonodular Lobe (anatomical name)
DEFINITION 3
- vestibulocerebellum [Archicerebellum] = Equilibrium A.
Receives information from the inner ear (vestibular nuclei)
for BALANCE B. Flocculonodular lobe C. Fastigal nucleus
TERM 4
Anterior Lobe (anatomical name)
DEFINITION 4
- Spinocerebellum [Paleocerebellum] (Spinocerebellar Tracts)
A. Receives information from the accessory cuneate nucleus
and the nucleus dorsalis for unconscious proprioception B.
Mainly anterior lobe and medial part of posterior lobe C.
Interposed nuclei= globose and emboliform nuclei
TERM 5
Posterior Lobe (anatomical name)
DEFINITION 5
- Pontocerebellum [Neocerebellum] A. Receives information from
pre-motor area (area 6), the postcen tral gyrus (areas 3,1,2) and
the association areas through the po ntine nuclei for planning and
timing of sequential movements. In s hort, to control the speed,
force, and duration of movements. B. Mainly posterior lobe and
lateral part of anterior lobe C. D entate nucleus
