Protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

Anterior part of the brain that includes the telencephalon and diencephalon.

Part of the frontal lobe responsible for voluntary motor functions.

Part of the parietal lobe responsible for primary sensory processing.

Brain area responsible for vision; visual processing

Brain portion dedicated to hearing, smell, learning & memory.

Fissure separating frontal and parietal lobes.

Fissure separating the frontal and parietal lobes from the temporal lobe.

A midsagittal view is required to visualize the Longitudinal Fissure, as it separates the brain's left and right hemispheres.

The Corpus Callosum is a thick band of nerve fibers connecting the two cerebral hemispheres, allowing communication between them.

The Thalamus acts as a relay station for sensory information, directing it to the appropriate parts of the cerebral cortex.

The Hypothalamus regulates vital bodily functions, including body temperature, hunger, thirst, and sleep.

The Pituitary Gland is the 'master gland' of the endocrine system, producing hormones that control other glands and regulate growth.

The Midbrain connects the forebrain to the hindbrain and plays crucial roles in vision, hearing, and motor control.

The Pons is part of the brainstem, involved in sleep, respiration, and relaying information between the cerebrum and cerebellum.

The Medulla Oblongata is the lowest part of the brainstem, controlling vital functions like breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.

The frontal lobe is responsible for higher-level cognitive functions, including planning, decision-making, problem-solving, and personality. It also controls voluntary movements.

The parietal lobe processes sensory information from the body, including touch, temperature, pain, and pressure. It also plays a role in spatial awareness and navigation.

The occipital lobe is the visual processing center of the brain, interpreting information from the eyes to create visual images.

The temporal lobe plays a crucial role in auditory processing, memory formation, and language comprehension. It also processes information from the senses of smell and taste.

A neuron is the basic structural and functional unit of the nervous system. It is a specialized cell responsible for transmitting nerve impulses.

The axon is a long, slender projection from the neuron cell body that transmits nerve impulses away from the cell body.

Dendrites are branched extensions of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body.

The myelin sheath is a fatty covering that insulates axons and speeds up the transmission of nerve impulses.
