Fig. 704. Cerebellum

Sagittal section of the cerebellum, near the junction of the vermis with the hemisphere. (Schäfer.)

• constitutes the largest part of the hindbrain.
• lies behind the pons and medulla oblongata
• between its central portion and these structures is the cavity of the fourth ventricle.
• rests on the inferior occipital fossæ, while above it is the tentorium cerebella
• a fold of dura mater separates it from the tentorial surface of the cerebrum.
• somewhat oval in form, but constricted medially and flattened from above downward, its greatest diameter being from side.
• surface is not convoluted like that of the cerebrum
• traversed by numerous curved furrows or sulci, which vary in depth at different parts, and separate the laminæ of which it is composed.
• average weight in the male is about 150 gms.

Proportion between the cerebellum and cerebrum

• infant about 1 to 20.
• adult about 1 to 8.
