Document Summary
Midbrain the upper part of the brain stem. Tectum the tectum (roof) has two pairs of bumps on the dorsal surface called the colliculi. The anterior superior colliculi have a visual function. The posterior inferior colliculi have an auditory function. These structures are involved in sleep, arousal, attention, movement and reflexes. Hindbrain the most posterior division of the brain metencephalon: cerebellum. The cerebellum ( little brain ) is a convoluted mass of cortex involved in the integration of sensory perception and motor control. A lot of tissue and is important for your ability to stay upright and balanced: pons. The pons which is a large bulge in the brain stem. At its core is the reticular formation that plays an important role in sleep and arousal myelencephalon. The most caudal part of the brain stem. Contains a part of the reticular formation and nuclei that controls vital functions of respiration and the cardiovascular system.
