Which Statement is false about the pons?
B) connects the cerebellum to the brainstem
C) Is a subconcious somatic and visceral motor control area
D) Relays sensory info to the cerebellum and thalamus
E) All are true
I thought that D be the incorrect answer because the pons relays sensory info to the cerebellum and cerebrum... Am I right?
Answers: The proper answer is "E"...all are true
The cerebellum, is a relay of the motor pathway, filtrating and coordinating the "fine" movements of the final effectors (muscles) and thus, is subdivision of the connections of the motor cortex and other areas, to the spinal cord.
It also connects the cerebellum with the brain stem (Via the rational peduncles)
Its corrective action on the voluntary movements, is completely outside of our control (it is a subconscious non intentional control), because it is not notice by the normal entity, unless the cerebellum has problems such as degeneration, stroke or other nature of damage (difficulty for coordination of the movements, decrease muscular tone in matching side of the affection to the cerebellum, etc..)..
It also receives information from the body (position, heat, strenght of muscle contraction) by fibers from the brain stem (ascending sensory fibers), before that information reach the ventromedial nucleus of the thalamus....and the sensory cortex of the brain...
