Identify the six principal regions of the brain in the following diagram. (a) ______________ (b) ______________(c) ______________ (d) ______________(e) __________ (f) ______________
For each of the following brain structures, write G (for gray matter) or W (for white matter) as appropriate.__(1) cortex of cerebellum__(2) pyramids__(3) internal capsule and corona radiata__(4) red nucleus__(5) medial lemniscus__(6) cranial nerve nuclei__(7) cerebellar peduncle
___10____ is a conspicuous fibrous tract (the narrator describes it as a “top lip”) deep within the brain that enables communication between the two cerebral hemispheres. Below it, the “bottom lip” is the fornix and the visible space between these 2 structures is called the __11_____. The brain has four ventricles, interconnecting chambers that produce and serve as a reservoir for cerebral spinal fluid.
