BIO 152 ESSENTIAL HUMAN A&P MODULE 2
Cross section of the human brain. The
cerebrum, diencephalon (blue),
brainstem, and cerebellum.
Cross section of the brain with ventricles
highlighted in blue. There are two lateral ventricles, one third ventricle and one
fourth ventricle, which drains CSF into the central canal of the spinal cord.
Astrocytes help to form the
,BIO 152 ESSENTIAL HUMAN A&P MODULE 2
blood-brain barrier by wrapping tightly around capillaries of the central nervous
system, preventing harmful substances from harming neurons.
,BIO 152 ESSENTIAL HUMAN A&P MODULE 2
Superior view of the left and right
cerebral hemispheres, divided by the median longitudinal fissure. Deep grooves
are called sulci, and ridges are called gyri in the cerebral cortex.

Posterior view of the brain: The
cerebrum (blue) is separated from the
cerebellum by the transverse fissure.
