2. Medulla Oblongata Central canal Cuneate and gracile tubercles G Cu Inf. cerebellar peduncle Pyramid and Olive P O ICP IV Ventricle

3. Pons Basilar part, tegmentum, MCP Basilar Tegmentum MCP

4. Midbrain SC Tegmentum SN Crus Tectum

5. Nerve III and Midbrain Oculomotor “Extrinsic” Muscles of the eyeball : GSE Nucleus close to the midline Constrictor of the pupil (smooth muscle) GVE : Edinger-Westphal nucleus SC III SN RN C-Sp CP ST

6. Nerve IV Trochlear nerve A muscle of the eyeball winds around a trochlea (pulley) GSE Exceptional course IC

7. Nerve VI - Abducens Nerve to the “abductor” of the eyeball GSE Nucleus close to the midline VI Pontine nuclei MCP

8. Nerve V : Trigeminal Mixed nerve Sensory : general (GSA) Nucleus in all three parts of the brainstem Motor : Muscles of mastication ++ (1 st branchial arch muscles) -- Special Visceral  SVE Nucleus in pons

9. Nerve V : Trigeminal Sensory Mesencephalic Proprioceptive An unusual nucleus Pontine (Chief) Discriminative touch Spinal Tract and nucleus (MO) Touch, pain, temperature Motor Pons

10. Nerve VII - Facial Motor : 2 nd branchial arch Facial muscles ++ SVE GVE  glands Taste : SVA Also general sensory… VII MCP

11. Pons Relationships : VI, VII and V Rostral level : Motor nucleus of V in line with VII VI VII V Pontine nuclei Pontine nuclei : Cerebrum-cerebellum connection (Motor system) MCP

12. Nerve VIII : Vestibulocochlear Cochlear nuclei Auditory Vestibular nuclei Head position and movement Both special sensory : SSA PP ICP

13. Nerves IX and X IX : Glossopharyngeal General sensory : tongue + pharynx : GSA Taste : SVA Glands : GVE Branchial muscle (pharynx) : SVE PP ICP X : Vagus : Wide area of distribution GVE : Muscle of thoracic and abdominal organs, glands Taste : SVA Branchial muscle…

14. Nerve XI : Accessory IX, X, XI as a nerve group SVE component of X : Fibres of XI Nucleus ambiguus Spinal root of accessory Trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles Developmental origins…?

15. Nerve XII : Hypoglossal Muscles of the tongue GSE XII XI V XII XI V PP ICP

16. Medulla Oblongata Recognise landmarks XII nucleus – close to midline XI and V Cuneate and gracile nuclei Inferior olivary nucleus Inferior cerebellar peduncle XII XI V XII XI V PP ICP
