The brainstem (or brain stem) is the posterior part of the brain, continuous with the spinal cord. In the human brain the brainstem includes the midbrain, and the pons and medulla oblongata of the hindbrain. Sometimes the diencephalon, the caudal part of the forebrain, is included.
Functions of the Brain Stem
The brainstem regulates vital cardiac and respiratory functions and acts as a vehicle for sensory information.
- In vertebrate anatomy, the brainstem is the posterior part of the brain adjoining, and structurally continuous with, the spinal cord.
- Though small, the brainstem is an extremely important part of the brain, as the nerve connections from the motor and sensory systems of the cortex pass through it to communicate with the peripheral nervous system.
- The brainstem also plays an important role in the regulation of cardiac and respiratory function, consciousness, and the sleep cycle.
- The brainstem consists of the medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain.
