brain stem

Consists of the mesencephalon, pons, and the medulla oblongata. Contains important processing centers and relays information to or from the cerebrum of the cerebellum. TERM 7

mesencephalon

DEFINITION 7 Process visual and auditory information, coordinates and directs reflexive somatic motor responses to stimuli, and maintains consciousness TERM 8

corpora quadrigemina

DEFINITION 8 Relay stations concerned with the processing of visual and auditory senses. Includes superior colliculi, receiving visual input from lateral geniculate, and inferior colliculi, receives auditory data from nuclei in medulla oblongata. TERM 9

cerebral peduncles

DEFINITION 9 nerve fiber bundles on the ventrolateral surfaces of the mesencephalon. TERM 10

pons

DEFINITION 10 Contains nuclei involved with somatic and visceral control. Connect the cerebellum to the brain stem
