a hollow part or cavity in an organ, in particular.
Back
Pons
Front
the part of the brainstem that links the medulla oblongata and the thalamus.
Back
pituitary gland
Front
the major endocrine gland. A pea-sized body attached to the base of the brain, the pituitary is important in controlling growth and development and the functioning of the other endocrine glands
Back
temporal lobe
Front
each of the paired lobes of the brain lying beneath the temples, including areas concerned with the understanding of speech.
Back
fissures
Front
a long, narrow opening or line of breakage made by cracking or splitting, especially in rock or earth.
Back
brain stem
Front
the central trunk of the mammalian brain, consisting of the medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain, and continuing downward to form the spinal cord
Back
primary sensory cortex
Front
The sensory cortex can refer informally to the primary somatosensory cortex
Back
medulla oblongata
Front
Part of the brainstem that controls vital life-sustaining functions such as heartbeat, breathing, blood pressure, and digestion.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfC4u5GCy3I
Back
cerebral cortex
Front
the outer layer of the cerebrum (the cerebral cortex ), composed of folded gray matter and playing an important role in consciousness.
Back
Cerebrum
Front
the principal and most anterior part of the brain in vertebrates, located in the front area of the skull and consisting of two hemispheres, left and right, separated by a fissure.
Back
frontal lobe
Front
each of the paired lobes of the brain lying immediately behind the forehead, including areas concerned with behavior, learning, personality, and voluntary movement
Back
dura mater
Front
the tough outermost membrane enveloping the brain and spinal cord.
Back
cerebrospinal fluid
Front
clear watery fluid that fills the space between the arachnoid membrane and the pia mater.
Back
occipital lobe
Front
the rearmost lobe in each cerebral hemisphere of the brain
Back
spinal cord
Front
the cylindrical bundle of nerve fibers and associated tissue that is enclosed in the spine and connects nearly all parts of the body to the brain, with which it forms the central nervous system.
Back
corpus callousum
Front
a broad band of nerve fibers joining the two hemispheres of the brain.
Back
blood-brain barrier
Front
a filtering mechanism of the capillaries that carry blood to the brain and spinal cord tissue, blocking the passage of certain substances.
Back
Thalamus
Front
either of two masses of gray matter lying between the cerebral hemispheres on either side of the third ventricle, relaying sensory information and acting as a center for pain perception
Back
parietal lobe
Front
either of the paired lobes of the brain at the top of the head, including areas concerned with the reception and correlation of sensory information.
Back
Broca's area
Front
Broca's area is a part of the brain that controls the ability to produce language.
Back
cerebellum
Front
the part of the brain at the back of the skull in vertebrates. Its function is to coordinate and regulate muscular activity.
Back
cerebral hemispheres
Front
each of the two parts of the cerebrum (left and right) in the brain of a vertebrate
Back
Hypothalamus
Front
a region of the forebrain below the thalamus that coordinates both the autonomic nervous system and the activity of the pituitary, controlling body temperature, thirst, hunger, and other homeostatic systems, and involved in sleep and emotional activity
Back
primary motor cortex
Front
is a brain region that in humans is located in the dorsal portion of the frontal lobe.
