Study Notes
Brain Structure and Organization
- Locus coeruleus is located in the pons.
- The rhinencephalon consists of the limbic lobe and olfactory lobe, and is part of the forebrain.
- The hindbrain consists of the cerebellum, pons, and medulla oblongata.
Cerebrum
- The temporal lobe does not have a cingulate gyrus.
- The parahippocampal gyrus is part of the temporal lobe.
- The visual area is located in the occipital lobe.
- The acoustic area is located in the temporal lobe.
- The motor area is located in the frontal lobe.
- The motor speech area is located in the frontal lobe.
- The sensory area is located in the parietal lobe.
Ventricles and Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)
- The rhomboid fossa is the floor of the 4th ventricle.
- The CSF circulation order is: lateral ventricle, interventricular foramen, 3rd ventricle, aqueduct, and 4th ventricle.
- The subarachnoid space is filled with CSF and is located between the pia mater and arachnoid mater.
Brain Stem
- The brain stem consists of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata.
- The pons is located in the brain stem.
- The posterior cerebral artery is a branch of the basilar artery.
- The posterior perforating substance is located in the ventral surface of the mesencephalon.
Cranial Meninges
- The dura mater forms the falx cerebri, diaphragmatic sellae, and tentorium cerebelli.
- The pia mater goes into the sulcus of the cerebrum.
- The subdural space is a physiological space limited by the dura mater and arachnoid mater.
Other Key Facts
