When learning about the basic anatomy of the brain, one of the hardest parts is getting a hang of the anatomical terminology. This study guide will go over each terminology group, as well as review the locations of the major parts of the brain that were discussed in thelesson plan for bas...
AnatomyBrainExperimentalMagnetic resonance imagingNeuroscienceRatIdentification of the brain structures in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the rat is very important for the experimental work of many neuroscientists. Our intention was to recognize most of the structures without overlapping the MRI ...
The scarecrow needed it, Einstein had an excellent one, and it can store a whole lot of information. Thebrainis the control center of the body. Think of a telephone operator who answers incoming calls and directs them to where they need to go. Similarly, your brain acts as an operator b...
Neonatal brain: color Doppler imaging. Part I. Technique and vascular anatomy. Color Doppler imaging (CDI) can demonstrate the relative direction and velocity of blood flow in color, superimposed on a conventional gray-scale ultrasound image that depicts stationary tissue. Twenty-five infants ...
To compare the location of body parts relative to each other, anatomy uses some universal directional terms: anterior, posterior, ventral, dorsal, distal, proximal, medial, lateral, median, superior, inferior, external, internal, frontal, occipital, rostral, caudal, superficial, deep, central, ...
The brain is an immune-privileged organ such that immune cell infiltration is highly regulated and better tolerating the introduction of antigen to reduce
Vertebrae serve to protect the cord, and those vertebrae are separated by discs. As the brain sends electrical signals through the spinal cord, we can freely move our arms, legs, and other parts of our bodies. Thirty-three vertebrae comprise the bone anatomy of the spinal column, and the ...
Anatomy is interested with the structure of an organism. Physiology is interested in the function of the structure. We are still learning about brain function Modern maps of brain function are primitive… Brain function Much of the primate cortex devoted to vision. ...
The nervous, or neural tissue, is the main tissue component of the nervous system. The nervous tissue occurs 1) centrally (brain and spinal cord), and 2) peripherally (nerves). The neural tissue is composed of two main types of cells- each type...
Describe the anatomy of the structures in the three main regions of the ear. Name all four lobes of the brain and then give what physiological functions each lobe has. List the three pathways the somatic impulses enter the spinal cord and ascend to the brain. ...
