|
optic chiasma
|
space between optic nerves
|
|
optic tract
|
where optic nerves originate
|
|
olfactory bulb and tract
|
on bottom of brain, blob things at front and channels running from blobs to middle of brain
|
|
where is the cerebellum?
|
bottom, back of brain, stringy looking
|
|
what are the parts of the brain stem?
|
four parts:
midbrain (cerebral peduncles and superior and inferior colliculi) pons medulla cerebral aqueduct (?) |
|
what are the parts of the midbrain?
|
cerebral peduncles and superior and inferior colliculi
|
|
where is the midbrain?
|
top of brainstem, being cerebral peduncles and the colliculi
|
|
where are the pons?
|
bottom of brain, bulge just above medulla oblongata
|
|
where is the medulla oblongata?
|
the very base of the brainstem
|
|
where is the cerebral aqueduct?
|
just under corpora quadrigemina, feeding into cerebellum
|
|
where is the corpus callosum?
|
large commissure arching over ventricles and middle center of brain
|
|
where is the fornix?
|
bottom of the corpus callosum
|
|
where is the septum pallucidum?
|
space between fornix and corpus callosum
|
|
what are the basal nuclei?
|
clusters of neuron cell bodies, which look like islands of gray matter in white
|
|
where are the basal nuclei?
|
around ventricles
|
|
where is the thalamus?
|
around the third ventricle, under fornix, smack dead center
|
|
where is the intermediate mass of the thalamus?
|
middle of the thalamus
|
|
where's the hypothalamus?
|
under anterior commissure, on top of optic nerve
|
|
where is the infuncibulum?
|
stalk that holds pituitary gland
|
|
where is the pineal gland?
|
back bottom of thalamus, sticks out when you split cerebellum from cerebrum, looking from top
|
|
what is the choroid plexus?
|
makes the CSF and is within each ventricle
|
|
where is the choroid plexus?
|
aka where are the ventricles? inside the corpus callosum, middle of brain (encapsulated by thalamus) and in front of cerebellum
|
|
where is the lateral ventricle?
|
two parts to it; anterior and posterior in front and back of brain (following third ventricle towards outsides of brain in back) and connecting within corpus callosum in front
|
|
where is the third ventricle?
|
encapsulated by the thalamus, it spans the cerebral hemispheres
|
|
where is the fourth ventricle?
|
in front of the cerebellum, between that and the brainstem
|
|
where is the cerebral cortex?
|
outside of brain
|
|
where is the spinal cord in relation to the brain?
|
point below the medulla oblongata
|
|
what make up the brain meninges?
|
the dura mater, arachnoid mater, pia mater and superior sagittal sinus as well as arachnoid villi
|
|
what are arachnoid villi?
|
they are parts of the arachnoid tissue that protrude through the dura mater to allow CSF to drain into blood circulation via sinuses
|
|
where is the superior sagittal sinus?
|
this is where blood drains from brain tissue, runs through center of brain, front to back
|
|
does she use the term corpora quadrigemina to refer to the human colliculi?
|
no
|
|
can the cerebral peduncles be seen from the dorsal perspective?
|
no
|
|
where is the fourth ventricle on the sheep brain?
|
leading specifically to the center arbor vitae of the cerebellum
