MeSH Heading: Tegmentum Mesencephali
Tree Number(s): A08.186.211.132.659.413.875
Unique ID: D013681
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D013681
Annotation: do not confuse with TECTUM MESENCEPHALI
Scope Note: Portion of midbrain situated under the dorsal TECTUM MESENCEPHALI. The two ventrolateral cylindrical masses or peduncles are large nerve fiber bundles providing a tract of passage between the FOREBRAIN with the HINDBRAIN. Ventral MIDBRAIN also contains three colorful structures: the GRAY MATTER (PERIAQUEDUCTAL GRAY), the black substance (SUBSTANTIA NIGRA), and the RED NUCLEUS.
Entry Term(s): Accessory Oculomotor Nuclei; Annular Nucleus; Darkshevich's Nucleus; Interstitial Nucleus of Cajal; Mesencephalic Tegmentum; Mesencephalic Trigeminal Nucleus; Midbrain Tegmentum; Midbrain Trigeminal Nucleus; Nucleus Annularis; Nucleus Nervi Trochlearis; Nucleus Sagulum; Nucleus Tractus Mesencephalici Nervi Trigemini; Nucleus of Darkschewitsch; Peripeduncular Nucleus; Sagulum Nucleus; Tegmentum of Midbrain; Trochlear Nucleus; Ventral Tegmental Nucleus
