Station 1. Meninges and ventricles

Neuroanatomy lab navigation Identify the parts of the ventricular system on a mid-sagittal brain, coronal sections, and model. The formation of the ventricular system, as it relates to development, was discussed in the Neuroembryology session. Review the clinical significance of the flow and blockage of CSF For further reference Figure 1. Figure 2. Lateral ventricles […]

Station 5. Blood supply and circulation

Neuroanatomy lab navigation Arterial blood supply Review and identify the arterial supply. Vertebral arteries supplying the brainstem and cerebellum Anterior and posterior spinal Posterior inferior cerebellar Basilar (unpaired)—multiple pontine branches also come directly off the basilar artery Anterior inferior cerebellar Superior cerebellar Posterior cerebral Posterior communicating Internal carotid supplying the midbrain, thalamus, hypothalamus, and cerebrum […]
