Difference between Human brain and Posterior cranial fossa

Human brain vs. Posterior cranial fossa

The human brain is the central organ of the human nervous system, and with the spinal cord makes up the central nervous system. The posterior cranial fossa is part of the cranial cavity, located between the foramen magnum and tentorium cerebelli.

Similarities between Human brain and Posterior cranial fossa

Human brain and Posterior cranial fossa have 13 things in common (in Unionpedia): Accessory nerve, Base of skull, Brainstem, Cerebellar tentorium, Cerebellum, Cranial nerves, Foramen magnum, Glossopharyngeal nerve, Internal jugular vein, Occipital bone, Sigmoid sinus, Vagus nerve, Vestibulocochlear nerve.

Accessory nerve

The accessory nerve is a spinal nerve that supplies the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles.

Base of skull

The base of skull is the most inferior area of the skull.

Brainstem

The brainstem (or brain stem) is the posterior part of the brain, adjoining and structurally continuous with the spinal cord.

Cerebellar tentorium

The cerebellar tentorium or tentorium cerebelli (Latin: "tent of the cerebellum", Greek: "Σκηνίδιο της παρεγκεφαλίδας") is an extension of the dura mater that separates the cerebellum from the inferior portion of the occipital lobes.

Cerebellum

The cerebellum (Latin for "little brain") is a major feature of the hindbrain of all vertebrates.

Cranial nerves

Cranial nerves are the nerves that emerge directly from the brain (including the brainstem), in contrast to spinal nerves (which emerge from segments of the spinal cord).

Foramen magnum

The foramen magnum (great hole) is a large oval opening (foramen) in the occipital bone of the skull in humans and various other animals.

Glossopharyngeal nerve

The glossopharyngeal nerve, known as the ninth cranial nerve (CN IX), is a mixed nerve that carries afferent sensory and efferent motor information.

Internal jugular vein

The internal jugular vein is a paired jugular vein that collects blood from the brain and the superficial parts of the face and neck.

Occipital bone

The occipital bone is a cranial dermal bone, and is the main bone of the occiput (back and lower part of the skull).

Sigmoid sinus

The sigmoid sinuses (sigma- or s-shaped hollow curve), also known as the pars sigmoid, are venous sinuses within the skull that receive blood from posterior dural venous sinus veins.

Vagus nerve

The vagus nerve, historically cited as the pneumogastric nerve, is the tenth cranial nerve or CN X, and interfaces with parasympathetic control of the heart, lungs, and digestive tract.

Vestibulocochlear nerve

The vestibulocochlear nerve (auditory vestibular nerve), known as the eighth cranial nerve, transmits sound and equilibrium (balance) information from the inner ear to the brain.

Human brain and Posterior cranial fossa Comparison

Human brain has 760 relations, while Posterior cranial fossa has 22. As they have in common 13, the Jaccard index is 1.66% = 13 / (760 + 22).
