Practical #2 Flashcards
4 Divisions of the brain

cerebrum, diencephalon, brainstem, cerebellum (cerebrum and diencephalon collectively are the forebrain)
Cerebral Cortex
Is seen if brain is sliced in frontal plan and is the thin layer covering the outer surface of the cerebrum. Portion of the gray matter of the brain.

Basal Ganglia. Deep in the cerebral hemispheres of the cerebrum. Collection of gray matter.
Gyri, sulci and fissures.
In the cerebrum. Gyri are raised ridges, sulci are deep clefts between the ridges and fissures are even deeper clefts between major divisions of the cerebrum.

Frontal Lobe. Section is Cerebrum and diencephalon

Central Sulcus. Section is Cerebrum and diencephalon

Parietal Lobe. Section is Cerebrum and diencephalon

Temporal Lobe. Section is Cerebrum and diencephalon

Occipital Lobe. Section is Cerebrum and diencephalon

Lateral Sulcus (fissure). Section is Cerebrum and diencephalon

Longitudinal Fissure. Section is Cerebrum and diencephalon

Precentral Gyrus. Section is Cerebrum and diencephalon

Postcentral Gyrus. Section is Cerebrum and diencephalon

Corpus callosum. Section is Cerebrum and diencephalon

Thalamus and Third Ventricle. Section is Cerebrum and diencephalon

Hypothalamus. Section is Cerebrum and diencephalon

Midbrain. Section is Brain Stem.

Cerebral Aqueduct. Part of Midbrain. Section is brain stem.

Inferior Colliculus. Part of the midbrain. Section is brain stem.

Superior colliculus. Part of midbrain. section is brain stem.
