- Medulla oblongata
Anterolateral sulcus of medulla
The anterolateral sulcus (or ventrolateral sulcus) is a sulcus on the side of the medulla oblongata between the olive and pyramid. Olivary body and anterolateral sulcus of medulla are medulla oblongata.
See Olivary body and Anterolateral sulcus of medulla
Auditory system
The auditory system is the sensory system for the sense of hearing.
See Olivary body and Auditory system
Brainstem
The brainstem (or brain stem) is the stalk-like part of the brain that connects the forebrain (the cerebrum and diencephalon) with the spinal cord.
See Olivary body and Brainstem
Facial nerve
The facial nerve, also known as the seventh cranial nerve, cranial nerve VII, or simply CN VII, is a cranial nerve that emerges from the pons of the brainstem, controls the muscles of facial expression, and functions in the conveyance of taste sensations from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
See Olivary body and Facial nerve
Hypoglossal nerve
The hypoglossal nerve, also known as the twelfth cranial nerve, cranial nerve XII, or simply CN XII, is a cranial nerve that innervates all the extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of the tongue except for the palatoglossus, which is innervated by the vagus nerve.
See Olivary body and Hypoglossal nerve
Inferior olivary nucleus
The inferior olivary nucleus (ION) is a structure found in the medulla oblongata underneath the superior olivary nucleus. Olivary body and inferior olivary nucleus are medulla oblongata.
See Olivary body and Inferior olivary nucleus
Medulla oblongata
The medulla oblongata or simply medulla is a long stem-like structure which makes up the lower part of the brainstem.
See Olivary body and Medulla oblongata
Medullary pyramids (brainstem)
In neuroanatomy, the medullary pyramids are paired white matter structures of the brainstem's medulla oblongata that contain motor fibers of the corticospinal and corticobulbar tracts – known together as the pyramidal tracts.
See Olivary body and Medullary pyramids (brainstem)
Olivocerebellar tract
The olivocerebellar tract, also known as olivocerebellar fibers, are neural fibers which originate at the olivary nucleus and pass out through the hilum and decussate with those from the opposite olive in the raphe nucleus, then as internal arcuate fibers they pass partly through and partly around the opposite olive and enter the inferior peduncle to be distributed to the cerebellar hemisphere of the opposite side from which they arise.
See Olivary body and Olivocerebellar tract
Pons
The pons (pontes; from Latin pons, "bridge", from Proto-Indo-European *pónteh₁s, “path, road”, from *pent-, “path”. Cognate with Sanskrit पन्था, pánthā-) is part of the brainstem that in humans and other mammals, lies inferior to the midbrain, superior to the medulla oblongata and anterior to the cerebellum.
Posterolateral sulcus of medulla oblongata
The accessory, vagus, and glossopharyngeal nerves correspond with the posterior nerve roots, and are attached to the bottom of a sulcus named the posterolateral sulcus (or dorsolateral sulcus). Olivary body and posterolateral sulcus of medulla oblongata are medulla oblongata.
See Olivary body and Posterolateral sulcus of medulla oblongata
Sound
In physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid.
Spinocerebellar tract
The spinocerebellar tract is a nerve tract originating in the spinal cord and terminating in the same side (ipsilateral) of the cerebellum.
See Olivary body and Spinocerebellar tract
Superior olivary complex
The superior olivary complex (SOC) or superior olive is a collection of brainstem nuclei that is located in pons, functions in multiple aspects of hearing and is an important component of the ascending and descending auditory pathways of the auditory system.
See Olivary body and Superior olivary complex
Vestibulocochlear nerve
The vestibulocochlear nerve or auditory vestibular nerve, also known as the eighth cranial nerve, cranial nerve VIII, or simply CN VIII, is a cranial nerve that transmits sound and equilibrium (balance) information from the inner ear to the brain.
