a. Dorsal vs. Ventral- The Dorsal refers to the back side of the body and is perpendicular to the neuraxis towards the top of head. The Ventral refers to the front of the body the stomach area and is perpendicular to the neuraxis towards the front face of the body. The difference between the two is that the Dorsal is the back side of the body while the Ventral is the front of the body.
b. Anterior or Rostral vs. Posterior or Caudal- The Anterior refers to the front end near the face and head the beak that is by the neuraxis towards the front of face. The Posterior refers to being near the tail by the neuraxis away the front of the body. The difference between the two is that the Anterior is the front face beak, while the Posterior is tail …show more content…
Superior vs. Inferior- Superior means every other structure above of it when Inferior means every other structure below of it. The difference between the two is that the Superior structures of the body will be located above the Inferior structures.
e. Proximal vs. Distal- Distal refers to how far away material is away from the center and Proximal refers to how close material is to the center. The difference between the two is that Distal is kind of like lateral how far away from center and Proximal is like Medial how close to the center.
f. Ipsilateral vs. Contralateral- Ipsilateral are body parts on equal sections of the body. Contralateral are body parts on opposite sections of the body. The difference between the two is that the Ipsilateral will send materials to the same side while the Contralateral will send materials to the opposite side.
g. Tract vs. Nerve- Tracts are a group of axons in the Central Nervous System. Nerves are a group of axons in the Peripheral Nervous System. The difference between the two is that the Tracts are in the Central Nervous System while the Nerves are in the Peripheral Nervous …show more content…
Diagram the ventricular system. Be certain to include: the lateral ventricles, the 3rd and 4th ventricles, the cerebral aqueduct, and the central canal. Describe the purpose of the ventricular system. In your answer be certain to define components of this system that are more difficult the diagram; specifically Cerebral Spinal Fluid and Arachnoid granulations. (10 points) The ventricular system is made up of ventricles in the brain which contain CSF (Cerebrospinal fluid). The purpose of the ventricular system is to make and transport the CSF (Cerebrospinal fluid). This fluid connects with subarachnoid space and helps protect the brain. The lateral ventricles are the largest chambers and combine with the third ventricle. The third ventricle walls divide the nearby parts of the brain into symmetrical halves. The cerebral aqueduct is a tube that connects the third ventricle to the fourth ventricle. The Cerebral Spinal Fluid connects with subachnoid space and helps protect the brain. The Cerebral Spinal Fluid comes through the Arachnoid granulation to be reabsorbed into the blood
