II. Definitions
III. Background
- Three major sections of Central Nervous System
- Cerebrum (two hemispheres)
- Cerebellum and Brainstem (Midbrain, pons and Medulla)
- Spinal cord (Cervical Spine, Thoracic Spine and Lumbosacral Spine levels)
- Between the Cerebral Hemispheres and the Brainstem lie two additional groups of structures
- Diencephalon (including the Thalamus and Hypothalamus)
- Basal Ganglia (including the Caudate Nucleus and Globus Pallidus)
- Central Nervous System is coated in Meninges (3 layer wrap)
- Pia (inner most, and containing arteries)
- Arachnoid
- Dura (outer layer, dual walled containing venous sinuses)
IV. Anatomy: Cerebrum
- Lobes
- Anatomical landmarks (divide the cerebral lobes into further identifiable regions)
- Brain Gyri
- Brain sulci and Brain Fissures
