The brain is divided into 3 parts-Prosencephalon (forebrain), Mesencephalon(midbrain) and Rhombencephalon(hindbrain). The Rhombencephalon is divided into Metencepalon and Myelencephalon. The metencephalon includes the pons(and cerebellum but the cerebellum has a different way of development which is not shown) while myelencephalon is the medulla oblongata. The parts labelled as numbers are as follows:
1. Somatic afferent
2. Special afferent
3. General visceral afferent
4. General visceral efferent
5. Special visceral efferent
6. Somatic efferent
This blog is about the life of a medical student in Mumbai...I have tried to include many posts which readers will really find useful, interesting and fun to read even if they are not medical students. I have tried to make things as easy to understand as possible, and if anyone happens to have any doubts or issues they can feel free to comment in the post or email me at premedstud@gmail.com. I hope you enjoy going through my blog!
