The largest part of the brain, responsible for higher cognitive functions like thinking, language, and memory.

The front part of the brain responsible for planning, movement, and decision-making.

The area of the frontal lobe responsible for consciously controlling skeletal muscles.

The area of the frontal lobe responsible for learning complex motor skills and coordinating movements.

The top part of the brain responsible for touch, temperature, pain, and pressure.

The area of the parietal lobe responsible for receiving and processing sensory information from the body.

The side part of the brain responsible for hearing, memory, and language.

The back part of the brain responsible for vision.

The tough, outermost layer of the meninges, composed of two layers, it serves as the inner periosteum of the cranial bones.

A thin, delicate membrane that sits beneath the dura mater and contains blood vessels. Its primary function is to provide a barrier between the dura mater and the pia mater.

The innermost layer of the meninges, a thin, transparent membrane that adheres directly to the surface of the brain and spinal cord. It contains tiny blood vessels that supply the nervous tissue.

The space between the dura mater and the arachnoid mater, typically filled with a thin layer of fluid.

A serious condition characterized by the accumulation of blood in the epidural space, often caused by a skull fracture.

The space between the arachnoid mater and the pia mater, filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

A clear fluid that circulates through the central nervous system, providing cushioning and protection to the brain and spinal cord.

Finger-like projections of the arachnoid mater that extend into the superior sagittal sinus, facilitating the reabsorption of CSF into the venous circulation.

A condition involving an excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain's ventricles, leading to increased intracranial pressure.

The largest part of the brain, responsible for higher-level functions such as thought, language, memory, and voluntary movement.

A structure located deep within the cerebrum, responsible for relaying sensory information to the cerebral cortex.

A small but vital part of the brain located below the thalamus, responsible for regulating a wide range of functions including body temperature, hunger, and hormone production.

A structure at the back of the brain, responsible for coordinating movement, balance, and posture.

The lower part of the brain that connects the cerebrum to the spinal cord, controlling vital functions like breathing and heart rate.

The most inferior part of the brain stem, responsible for regulating vital functions such as heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure.
