1.1.1 Gross Brain Structure Flashcards
Id these diencephalic structures

Massa intermedia = the bridge b/t the two sides of the thalmus



What is stained in a Nissl stain?
Rough ER


ID these important gyri and sulci


Every artery outlined in the gross brain lab guide has been covered in this image.


This covers all the vasculature that we are responsible for in the gross lab










In what space does the pituatary gland live?
The sella turcica
ID these important gyri and sulci


What two gyri sit on rostral and caudal sides of the central sulcus?
Rostral side: precentral gyrus/primary motor cortex
Caudal side: postcentral gyrus/primary somatosensory cortex

Id the menigeal layers

Top: Arachnoid
Bottom: Dura
Which sulcus is being filled by the red line? What sits on the banks of this sulcus?

Calcarine sulcus
The primary visual cortex sits on the banks of the calcarine sulcus
Id these two key sulci

Top: Central Sulcus
Bottom: Lateral Fissure (a deep sulcus)
