MAIN FEATURES OF THE ANATOMY OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
CEREBELUM – 1
The cerebellum is formed by numerous thin folds of nervous tissue, each of them called a folium (plural: folia), delimited in the figure by black lines. They are visible on the organ’s surface and can be distinguished in the sectioned organ (lower figure). The boundaries of a folium are labeled in red.
Distribution of white and gray matter in each folium:
– a region of white matter (indicadted by the arrow) connects each folium with the brain white matter. Extensions of this portion of white matter penetrate the inside of each folium and constitute their core.
– the gray matter surrounds the white matter layer of each folium.
