                        the posteriormost of 3 primary vesicles (bulges) formed 
                        from the anterior neural tube. The hindbrain further subdivides 
                        into a posterior myelencephalon which will give rise to 
                        the medulla oblongata, and an anterior metencephalon, 
                        which will give rise to the cerebellum and pons.  |
