Topic: Myelencephalon


  
  Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. Page 738
It is customary to divide the rest of the hind-brain into two parts, viz., an upper, called the metencephalon, and a lower, the myelencephalon.
The cerebellum is developed by a thickening of the roof, and the pons by a thickening in the floor and lateral walls of the metencephalon.
The floor and lateral walls of the myelencephalon are thickened to form the medulla oblongata; its roof remains thin, and, retaining to

 Chapter Summary
I. During embryonic development, five regions of the brain are formed: the telencephalon, diencephalon, mesencephalon, metencephalon, and myelencephalon.
A. The telencephalon and diencephalon constitute the forebrain; the mesencephalon is the midbrain, and the hindbrain is composed of the metencephalon and the myelencephalon
B. The CNS begins as a hollow tube, and thus the brain and spinal cord are hollow.
