Study Notes

Brain Anatomical Directions

Anterior - front
Posterior - back
Dorsal - top
Ventral - front facing ground (belly)
Lateral - side
Medial - midline
Ipsilateral - same side
Contralateral - opposite side

Cross Sections

Coronal - cross section (frontal)
Horizontal - parallel to ground
Sagittal - perpendicular to ground (parallel to neuraxis)
Midsagittal - divides brain in equal halves

Central Nervous System

Dura matter - thick, tough
Arachnoid membrane - soft, spongy
Subarachnoid space - filled with CSF
Pia matter - attached to brain and spinal cord; contains small surface blood vessels

Peripheral Nervous System

Cranial nerves, spinal nerves, peripheral ganglia
Covered by dura and pia matter fused to form sheath

Ventricular System

Lateral - connected to third ventricle
Third ventricle - divides brain into equal halves
Massa intermedia - crosses the middle
