Rostral and caudal, which describe structures close to (rostral) or farther from (caudal) the nose. For example, the eyes are rostral to the back of the skull, and the tailbone is caudal to the chest. Cranial and caudal, which describe structures close to the top of the skull (cranial), and towards the bottom of the body (caudal).
For example, to describe the human brain, "rostral" still means "towards the beak or snout (Latin rostrum)", or at any rate, the interior of the cranial cavity just behind the face. "Caudal" means "towards the tail (Latin cauda "), but not "towards the back of the cranial cavity", which is "posterior" (behind, in ordinary motion).
Rostral (from Latin rostrum 'beak, nose') describes something situated toward the oral or nasal region, or in the case of the brain, toward the tip of the frontal lobe. [ 39 ] Cranial (from Greek κρανίον 'skull') or cephalic (from Greek κεφαλή 'head') describes how close something is to the head of an organism.
The oral pontine reticular nucleus, or rostral pontine reticular nucleus is one of the two components of the medial (efferent/motor) zone of the pontine reticular formation - the other being the caudal pontine reticular nucleus.
The tegmentum area includes various different structures, such as the rostral end of the reticular formation, several nuclei controlling eye movements, the periaqueductal gray matter, the red nucleus, the substantia nigra, and the ventral tegmental area. [3] The tegmentum is the location of several cranial nerve nuclei. The nuclei of CN III and ...
An example is the Robot Tuna built by the Institute of Field Robotics, to analyze and mathematically model thunniform motion. [98] In 2005, the Sea Life London Aquarium displayed three robotic fish created by the computer science department at the University of Essex .
The rostral, an additional bone in front of the premaxilla of the upper jaw. The epinasal, which forms the horn core of the nose horn. The epijugals, a pair of bones which often form prominent cheek horns. The epiparietals and episquamosals, small ossifications lining the edges of the neck frill (the parietal and squamosal bones, respectively).
