Difference between Medullary pyramids (brainstem) and Olivary body

Medullary pyramids (brainstem) vs. Olivary body

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. In anatomy, the olivary bodies or simply olives (Latin oliva and olivae, singular and plural, respectively) are a pair of prominent oval structures in the medulla oblongata, the lower portion of the brainstem.

Similarities between Medullary pyramids (brainstem) and Olivary body

Medullary pyramids (brainstem) and Olivary body have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Anterolateral sulcus of medulla, Brainstem, Hypoglossal nerve, Medulla oblongata, Pons.

Anterolateral sulcus of medulla

The anterolateral sulcus (or ventrolateral sulcus) is a sulcus on the side of the medulla oblongata.

Brainstem

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

Hypoglossal nerve

The hypoglossal nerve is the twelfth cranial nerve, and innervates all the extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of the tongue, except for the palatoglossus which is innervated by the vagus nerve.

Medulla oblongata

The medulla oblongata (or medulla) is located in the brainstem, anterior and partially inferior to the cerebellum.

Pons

The pons (Latin for "bridge") is part of the brainstem, and in humans and other bipeds lies inferior to the midbrain, superior to the medulla oblongata and anterior to the cerebellum.
