Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy |
The uvula (uvular lobe) forms a considerable portion of the inferior vermis; it is separated on either side from the tonsil by a sulcus, the vallecula of the cerebellum, at the bottom of which it is connected to the tonsil by a ridge of gray matter, indented on its surface by shallow furrows, and hence called the furrowed band.
