Nodule of vermis, the Glossary

Index Nodule of vermis

The nodule (nodular lobe), or anterior end of the inferior vermis, abuts against the roof of the fourth ventricle, and can only be distinctly seen after the cerebellum has been separated from the medulla oblongata and pons.[1]

Cerebellar vermis

The cerebellar vermis (from Latin vermis, "worm") is located in the medial, cortico-nuclear zone of the cerebellum, which is in the posterior fossa of the cranium. Nodule of vermis and cerebellar vermis are cerebellum.

See Nodule of vermis and Cerebellar vermis

Cerebellum

The cerebellum (cerebella or cerebellums; Latin for "little brain") is a major feature of the hindbrain of all vertebrates.

See Nodule of vermis and Cerebellum

Flocculus

The flocculus (Latin: tuft of wool, diminutive) is a small lobe of the cerebellum at the posterior border of the middle cerebellar peduncle anterior to the biventer lobule. Nodule of vermis and flocculus are cerebellum.

Fourth ventricle

The fourth ventricle is one of the four connected fluid-filled cavities within the human brain.

See Nodule of vermis and Fourth ventricle

Inferior medullary velum

The inferior medullary velum (posterior medullary velum) is a thin layer of white substance, prolonged from the white center of the cerebellum, above and on either side of the nodule; it forms the infero-posterior part of the fourth ventricle.

See Nodule of vermis and Inferior medullary velum

Medulla oblongata

The medulla oblongata or simply medulla is a long stem-like structure which makes up the lower part of the brainstem.

See Nodule of vermis and Medulla oblongata

Pons

The pons (pontes; from Latin pons, "bridge", from Proto-Indo-European *pónteh₁s, “path, road”, from *pent-, “path”. Cognate with Sanskrit पन्था, pánthā-) is part of the brainstem that in humans and other mammals, lies inferior to the midbrain, superior to the medulla oblongata and anterior to the cerebellum.
