| ala cerebelli | The lateral winglike projection of the central lobule of the cerebellum. Synonym: ala lobuli centralis, ala cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| alae lingulae cerebelli | Small lateral prolongations of the lingula of the vermis of the cerebellum resting on the dorsal surface of the superior cerebellar peduncle. Synonym: alae lingulae cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amygdala cerebelli | A rounded lobule on the undersurface of each cerebellar hemisphere, continuous medially with the uvula of the cerebellar vermis. Synonym: tonsilla cerebelli, amygdala cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria cerebelli inferior anterior | <anatomy, artery> Origin, basilar; distribution, lower surface of lateral lobes of cerebellum, choroid plexus in cerebellopontine angle; anastomoses, posterior inferior cerebellar; usual source of labyrinthine artery. Synonym: arteria cerebelli inferior anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria cerebelli inferior posterior | <anatomy, artery> Origin, vertebral; distribution, lateral medulla, choroid plexus of fourth ventricle, and cerebellum; anastomoses, superior cerebellar and anterior inferior cerebellar. Synonym: arteria cerebelli inferior posterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria cerebelli superior | <anatomy, artery> Origin, basilar; distribution, upper surface of cerebellum, colliculi, and most of the cerebellar nuclei; anastomoses, posterior inferior cerebellar. Synonym: arteria cerebelli superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brachium conjunctivum cerebelli | A large bundle of nerve fibres that originate from the dentate and interpositus nuclei and emerges from the cerebellum in the rostral direction, along the lateral wall of the fourth ventricle. The bundle submerges from the dorsal surface of the brainstem into the mesencephalic tegmentum, where all of its fibres cross in the massive decussation of the superior cerebellar peduncles. Part of the bundle terminates in the contralateral red nucleus; the bulk of the fibres continue rostrally to parts of the ventral intermediate nucleus of thalamus, ventral posterolateral nucleus of thalamus, and central lateral nucleus of thalamus. Synonym: pedunculus cerebellaris superior, brachium conjunctivum cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vallecula cerebelli | A deep hollow on the inferior surface of the cerebellum, between the hemispheres, containing the medulla oblongata and the falx cerebelli. Synonym: vallis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vena precentralis cerebelli | <anatomy, vein> An unpaired vein originating in the precentral cerebellar fissure passing anterior and superior to the culmen on its way to terminate in the great cerebral vein. Synonym: vena precentralis cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vincula lingulae cerebelli | Small lateral prolongations of the lingula of the vermis of the cerebellum resting on the dorsal surface of the superior cerebellar peduncle. Synonym: alae lingulae cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corpus medullare cerebelli | The interior white substance of the cerebellum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortex cerebelli | The thin gray surface layer of the cerebellum, consisting of an outer molecular layer or stratum moleculare, a single layer of Purkinje cells (the ganglionic layer), and an inner granular layer or stratum granulosum. Synonym: cortex cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pons cerebelli | <anatomy> A rounded eminence off the ventral surface of the brainstem. The origins of cranial nerves V, VI, VII and VIII are at the border of the pons. (27 Sep 1997) |
| hemispherium cerebelli | The large part of the cerebellum lateral to the vermis cerebelli. Synonym: hemispherium cerebelli, hemispherium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stratum gangliosum cerebelli | The layer of Purkinje cells between the molecular and granular layers of the cerebellar cortex. Synonym: stratum neuronorum piriformium, ganglionic layer of cerebellar cortex, layer of piriform neurons, Purkinje's layer, stratum gangliosum cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
