Study Notes

The Spinal Cord and Meninges

The spinal cord is located within the vertebral canal of the spinal column and is surrounded by three meninges (sachaea).
Additional protection is provided by the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which surrounds the spinal cord in the subarachnoid space.

The Brain Divisions

The brain is divided into three main sections: hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain.
The sections are arranged in an ascending order from the spinal cord.

Hindbrain

The hindbrain consists of the medulla oblongata and the pons.
The cerebellum is responsible for coordinating movement and balance.
The cerebellum is composed of two hemispheres connected by a middle part.

Midbrain

The midbrain is the narrow part of the brain that connects the forebrain to the hindbrain.
It consists of a dorsal thalamus and a ventral hypothalamus.

Forebrain

The forebrain is partially hidden from the surface of the brain.
It is divided into four lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital, named after the bones of the cranium they lie under.
