BRAIN

• Parts of the brain

  • Corpus callosum
  • Frontal lobe
  • Thalamus
  • Hypothalamus
  • Optic nerve
  • Pituitary gland
  • Pons
  • Medulla
  • Parietal lobe
  • Occipital lobe
  • Cerebellum
  • Fourth ventricle
• The brain is located on the left side
• Lobes of the brain

  • Frontal lobe
  • Parietal lobe
  • Temporal lobe
  • Occipital lobe
• The brain is protected by the bones of the skull, thin membranes (meninges), and cerebrospinal fluid
• Grooves and fissures of the brain

  • Longitudinal fissure
  • Central sulcus (fissure of Rolando)
  • Lateral sulcus (Sylvian fissure)
  • Parieto-occipital sulcus
  • Cingulate sulcus
  • Intraparietal sulcus
  • Superior temporal sulcus
  • Inferior frontal sulcus
  • Precentral sulcus
• Formation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)

  1. Produced mainly by the choroid plexus

  2. Cerebrospinal fluid circulates in and around the central nervous system
• Hydrocephalus


  Build up of fluid in the cavities deep within the brain, resulting in damage to brain tissues
