Explain how the cerebellum is physically connected to the brain stem.

Video transcript

Welcome back. Everyone. Here's the next question. Identify which of the following connects the cerebellum to the medulla ada choice. A superior cerebellar pet Uncles B, inferior cerebellar, pen uncles c, middle cerebellar, pen uncles or D all of the above. So I'm just going to put up a brief little diagram of the anatomy here and we're going to focus on that brain stem region. We've got the cerebellum with the ponds in front of it and the medulla Agata coming out below the ponds and cerebellum. And I've drawn these sort of feathery lines coming out of the cerebellum. Those are the various tracts that connect the cerebellum with the different parts of the brain. So up at the top here, I'm going to indicate in red, the fiber is kind of coming up high. That would be the superior pet uncles. I'll just write superior since we've got superior infe and middle telling us where they are and of course they're going up. And so if they're heading upwards that connects the cerebellum with the midbrain up above and then this little tiny bit of sort of feathery stuff in the middle, you can, it's kind of obvious it connects the cerebellum with the ponds which is directly across from it. So that would be the middle pet uncles. And then the tract facing downwards would be the inferior cerebellar cera cerebellar pet uncles. And of course, the mela algata is below the cerebellum. And so we would say that our answer is choice. B the inferior cerebellar pet uncles connect the cerebellum to the mela Agata below it. So that will be our answer. Choice here. Choice B inferior cerebellar pet Uncles. See you in the next video.
