The Brain Flashcards
primary ventricles of embryonic development
prosencephalon, mesencephalon, rhombencephalon
forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain
secondary ventricles of embryonic development
[telencephalon, diencephalon], [mesencephalon], [metencephalon, myelencephalon]
telencephalon adult structures
lateral ventricles
cerebrum
diencephalon adult structures
third ventricle
epithalamus, thalamus, hypothalamus
mesencephalon adult structures
cerebral aqueduct
cerebral peduncles, superior and inferior colliculi
metencephalon adult structures
anterior part of fourth ventricle
pons, cerebellum
myelencephalon adult structures
posterior part of fourth ventricle, central canal
medulla oblongata
gray matter
houses motor neuron and interneuron cell bodies
dendrites, telodendria, unmyelinated axons
white matter
myelinated axons
layers of the dura mater
periosteal layer meningeal layer (deep)
separation of two layers of dura mater
dural venous sinuses
structures of the arachnoid mater
arachnoid trabeculae (web of collagen and elastic fibers) extend into the subarachnoid space (deep to mater) arachnoid villa project through dura mater into dural venous sinuses arachnoid granulations (collection of arachnoid villi)
