  1. Midbrain and Pons Brainstem David A. Morton, Ph.D. Jan 10th, 2013

  2. Objectives • Explain how spinal nerves differ from cranial nerves • Name all the cranial nerves and know their components and functions • Identify and locate the CN’s associated with the medulla, pons and midbrain • Recognize the major internal and external landmarks on the dorsal and ventral surface of the brain stem, so that you can determine if a gross or stained cross section is medulla, pons or midbrain. • Identify on a typical cross section all the brain stem nuclei containing motor neurons that end on striated muscle. • List the cranial nerves that contain parasympathetic fibers, the location of their nuclei, and their function • Explain why cranial nerves are so important in localizing lesions. • Name reflexes that test these nerves and brain stem levels. • Relate branches of the vertebrobasilar blood supply to the medulla and pons explaining the deficits that would occur with vascular occlusion.
