The Brain CH 8- BIO 160 Midbrain (mesencephalon). contains various nuclei and bundles of ascending & descending nerve fibers. Includes 2 pair of colliculi (sensory nuclei)in the corpora quadrigemina. - Superior colliculi (visual reflex centers) control the reflex movement of the eyes, head, neck, and response to visual stimuli. -Inferior colliculi (auditory reflex centers) control the reflex movement of the head, neck, and trunk in response to auditory stimuli.

The 12 Cranial Nerves Motor function. Innervates the levator palpebrae superioris, superior rectus, medial rectus, inferior rectus, and inferior oblique of the eye, which collectively perform most eye movements. Also innervates the sphincter pupillae (pupil) and the muscles of the ciliary body. Located in the superior orbital fissure. *Contains PS fibers.

Cranial Nerves and their functions IV trochlear. (mixed, mainly motor). Moves the eyeballs by sending nerve impulses to the superior oblique muscles which are among the group of muscles that rotate the eyeballs in their sockets. (The action of this nerve is coordinated with those of the oculomotor and abducens nerves i.e. cranial nerves III and VI.). 5.

Tectospinal Tract Tectospinal tract - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The tectospinal tract (also known as colliculospinal tract) is a nerve pathway that coordinates head and eye movements. This neural tract is part of the indirect extrapyramidal tract. To be specific, the tectospinal tract connects the midbrain tectum and the spinal cord..

- Midbrain. The midbrain, also called the mesencephalon, is a small region of the brain that serves as a relay center for visual, auditory, and motor system information. It regulates autonomic functions, those that the body carries out without conscious thought, such as digestion, heart rate, and breathing rate. major structure in the upper part of the brain stem is called the pons. The pons has two over-arching roles. The first is the regulation of breathing. In the pons, there is a structure called the pneumotaxic center.

The vertebratesystem This response, called the light reflex, is regulated by three structures: the retina, the pretectum, and the midbrain. In th... The midbrain (mesencephalon) and diencephalon constitute the anterior portion of the brain stem. Sensory and motor nuclei for cranial nerves extend from the hindbrain to the midbrain.

Chapter 4 - Extraocular movement The central control of eye movement can be distilled into the principle types of functions. These include voluntary, conjugate horizontal gaze (looking side-to-side); voluntary, conjugate vertical gaze (looking up and down); smoothly tracking objects; convergence; and eye movements resulting from head movements.

- Hypoglossal nerve The Cerebellum is cupped around the brainstem and controls muscle coordination, balance, and voluntary movements The Cerebral Cortex, the largest area of the brain, is where most thinking functions occur.

What is the function of the Midbrain ? Small and rounded eminences called as quadrigemina are present on the upper surface of mid brain which is separated by crucial groove from one another. These are arranged as superior and anterior pairs and are associated with sense of sight. The other two arranged inferior or posterior are related to hearing sense.he brain is further divided into the Fore brain, Mid brain and Hind brain. While the Fore brain controls the functions such as thought reasoning, voluntary movement, language, it is the Mid brain that controls the auditory, Eye movement, vision and body movement.

Cranial Nerves CN IV (Cranial Nerve 4), controls eyeball movement, rotating, up, down, left and right. 1  CN V - Trigeminal Nerve: 3 Nerve Branches: 2  Ophthalmic Nerve (V1): Muscles for the eyelids, eyebrow, forehead and nose. This branch affects the glands for tear production and mucous membrane of the nasal cavity.

Glossary of Neurological Terms Located at the base of the brain, the brainstem is composed of the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla. It regulates basic involuntary functions necessary for survival such as: 1  breathing. 2  heart rate. 3  blood pressure.

Oculomotor nerve The nerve also contains fibers that innervate the muscles that enable pupillary constriction and accommodation (ability to focus on near objects as in reading). The oculomotor nerve is derived from the basal plate of the embryonic midbrain. Cranial nerves IV and VI also participate in control of eye movement.he oculomotor nerve (CN III) arises from the anterior aspect of mesencephalon (midbrain). There are two nuclei for the oculomotor nerve: 1  The oculomotor nucleus originates at the level of the superior colliculus.

- Confidence votes 625. There are three cranial nerves that innervates muscle to move the eye. The main cranial nerve that controls eye movement is occulomotor nerve (CN III). It is responsible for inferior rectus, superior rectus, medial rectus, and inferior oblique.Lateral rectus muscle is innervated by abducens nerve (CN VI).he main cranial nerve that controls eye movement is occulomotor nerve (CN III). It is responsible for inferior rectus, superior rectus, medial rectus, and inferior oblique.

Overview of the Cranial Nerves Some cranial nerve disorders interfere with eye movement. Eye movement is controlled by 3 pairs of muscles. These muscles move the eye up and down, right and left, and diagonally. The muscles are controlled by the following cranial nerves: 3rd cranial nerve. 4th cranial nerve. 6th cranial nerve.

Midbrain The midbrain also contains a portion of the reticular formation, a neural network that is involved in arousal and alertness. Cranial nerves in the midbrain that stimulate the muscles controlling eye movement, lens shape, and pupil diameter form the nuclear complex of the oculomotor nerve and the trochlear nucleus.

Muscles of the Head and Neck Home > Muscular System > Muscles of the Head and Neck. The muscles of the head and neck perform many important tasks, including movement of the head and neck, chewing and swallowing, speech, facial expressions, and movement of the eyes. These diverse tasks require both strong, forceful movements and some of the fastest, finest, and most delicate adjustments in the entire human body.

The Brain Stem The midbrain plays major roles in both wakefulness and regulation of homeostasis. Describe the location and functions of the midbrain. The midbrain or mesencephalon is a portion of the central nervous system associated with vision, hearing, motor control, sleep/wake, arousal (alertness), and temperature regulation.
