| 1. | Hyperventilation can occur when the brain stem or tegmentum is damaged.
|
| 2. | The midbrain is broken up into the tectum and the tegmentum.
|
| 3. | There are some really important structures located within the tegmentum.
|
| 4. | Preganglionic parasympathetic fibres arise in the superior salivary nucleus of the pontine tegmentum.
|
| 5. | The tegmentum is the location of several cranial nerve ( CN ) nuclei.
|
| 6. | The trapezoid body is located in the caudal pons, or more specifically the pontine tegmentum.
|
| 7. | The dorsal respiratory group are connected to the pneumotaxic and apneustic centres of the pontine tegmentum.
|
| 8. | In animal studies, lesions of the pontine tegmentum greatly reduce or even eliminate REM sleep.
|
| 9. | The nuclei of CN III and IV are located in the tegmentum portion of the midbrain.
|
| 10. | The nuclei of CN V to VIII are located in the tegmentum at the level of the pons.
