Cerebrum

Question 1

Occupies the entire visceral cranium

Answer 1

CEREBRUM/FOREBRAIN

Question 2

Is a deep fissure or groove that lies directly under the sagittal suture of the skull and passes from front to back. It divides the Cerebrum into 2 halves, the (R) Cerebral hemisphere and (L) cerebral hemisphere.

Answer 2

Longitudinal Fissure

Question 3

Fibers pass across from one hemisphere to the other in the inferior part below the fissure to form the

Answer 3

Corpus Callosum

Question 4

A fold of Dura mater, the outer brain covering called the

Answer 4

Falx Cerebri

Question 5

Each Cerebral Hemisphere is completely divided into 5 lobes by deep grooves or fissures:

Answer 5

1. Frontal Lobe – lies deep to the frontal bone on each side.
2. Parietal Lobe – lies under the Parietal bone.
3. Temporal Lobe – lies under the
   Temporal bone
4. Occipital Lobe – lies under the Occipital bone.
5. Insula – lies deep in the brain substance.

Question 6

– lies between the frontal and parietal lobes on both sides.

Answer 6

2. Central Fissure

Question 7

– lies between the frontal and parietal lobes above and below the Temporal lobe.

Answer 7

3. Lateral Fissure

Question 8

– lies between the two occipital lobes and the Cerebellum below.

Answer 8

4. Transverse Fissure

Question 9

Forms a small part of the brain that lies on the under surface and rest upon the Sphenoid bone.

Answer 9

MIDBRAIN

Question 10

– which is seen on its undersurface and are composed of nerve fibers passing from the cerebrum to the hindbrain and spinal cord.

Answer 10

Cerebral Peduncles

Question 11

– are four additional prominences on the upper surface of the Midbrain.

Answer 11

Quadrigeminal Bodies

Question 12

Is the most caudal of the 3 primary brain vesicles

Answer 12

HINDBRAIN

Question 13

– lies below the Midbrain, in front of the Cerebellum and above the Medulla which has a prominence in front due to nerve fibers passing from ½ of the Cerebellum to the other.

Answer 13

Pons

Question 14

– is much larger and occupies the posterior cranial fossa, deep to the occipital bone and lies behind the Pons and are separated from the occipital lobe by the transverse fissure.

Answer 14

Cerebellum

Question 15

– lies below the Pons just above the Foramen Magnum which has a nerve fibers passing through it and connecting the brain and spinal cord.

Answer 15

Medulla Oblongata

Question 16

Contains centers for speech, hearing, smell, taste and sight and for interpretation for sensation.

Answer 16

Posterior Cranial Fossa

Question 17

– lies deep in the brain substance.

Answer 17

5. Insula
