Largest part of the brain 2 cerebral hemispheres, connected by a mass of white matter called the corpus callosum
Page 8
Thalamus Large egg-shaped mass of gray matter that lies on either side of the third ventricle
Hypothalamus Forms the lower part of the lateral wall and floor of the third ventricle
Page 9
Narrow part of the brain that connects the forebrain to the hindbrain
Page 10
Page 11
Conical in shape Connects the pons to the spinal cord Contains nuclei Serves as conduit for ascending and descending fibers of the CNS
Page 12
Located on the anterior surface of the cerebellum, inferior to the midbrain and superior to the medulla
Page 13
Lies within the posterior cranial fossa, posterior to the pons and the medulla 2 hemispheres connected by a middle portion called the vermis
Page 14
Continuous with the medulla 31 segments give rise to 31 pairs of spinal nerve roots
