  1. What does the Midbrain connect with?
    • Diencephalon rostrally
    • Pons caudally
  2. Where is the Pons?
    Between the midbrain and medulla
  3. What does the Medulla connect with?
    • Pons rostrally
    • Spinal cord caudally
  4. What is the job of the Cranial Nerves?
    • Provides main motor & sensory innervation to the face/neck via cranial nerves
    • Performs spinal cord-like functions for the head
    • Contains LMNs for muscles of the head (cranial nerves)
  5. What is the job of tracts?
    Motor & sensory systems from brain to body that pass through the brainstem
  6. What are three types of tracts and what do they do?
