Stacy's MRI image results indicate abnormalities of the cerebellum of the brain

and spinal cord. In what division of the nervous system are the brain and spinal

cord?

The Central Nervous System

Type 1 Chiari Malformation

cerebellar tonsils are elongated and pushed through the foramen magnum, obstructing

CSF flow

Syrinx

area around the Central Canal loses the texture to create fluid-filled pockets or cysts

that compromise the spinal cord

Cerebrum function

Initiates and coordinates movement and regulates temperature

- Concious thought

Diencehpalon function

, Primary relay and processing center for sensory info and autonomic control

- Relay and filter

Midbrain function

movements of body and head

(provides passage for downward pathways for the cerebral cortex)

- Visual and auditory reflexes

Pons functions

unconcious processes and jobs (Sleep-wake cycle, breathing)

- Respiration

Medulla Oblongata functions

controls vital processes such as heartbeat, breathing

- Vital Reflexes (heart beat, blood pressure)

- Non-Vital Reflexes (sneezing, coughing)

Cerebellum functions

coordinates and regulate a wide range of functions and processes in both your brain

and body

- coordination

What sectional. plane did clinicians use to obtain this view of the brain and spinal

cord (frontal, transverse or sagittal)?
