What is the name of the 4 bumps that can be seen if you pull away the cerebellum?

The lobes of the brain are visible, as well as the transverse fissure, which separates the cerebrum from the cerebellum. The convolutions of the brain are also visible as bumps (gyri) and grooves (sulci).

Where do you cut to remove the dura mater?

To remove the dura, use scissors to carefully cut the dura along the longitudinal fissure (large groove running down the middle of the brain separating the hemispheres). Then, slowly and carefully peel the dura away from the brain from each flap.

What is dissection of the brain?

Overview. An arterial dissection is a tear in the lining of an artery. When a tear occurs in a major artery in the head and neck — the carotid or vertebral arteries — that transmit blood to the brain, this is called a cerebral arterial dissection.

Can you hold a human brain?

It turns out that the human brain is very fragile. It has a consistency somewhat like jello: soft and squishy. Without preservation and chemical hardening you couldn’t pick a brain up.

What is dura?

Introduction. The dura mater often gets referred to as merely the dura. It is one of the layers of connective tissue that make up the meninges of the brain (pia, arachnoid, and dura, from inside to outside). It is the outermost layer of the three meninges that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.

Where is the arbor vitae?

the cerebellum
The arbor vitae is located deep in the cerebellum. Situated within the arbor vitae are the deep cerebellar nuclei; the dentate, globose, emboliform and the fastigial nuclei. These four different structures lead to the efferent projections of the cerebellum.

What does the pons do?

Your pons is a part of your brainstem, a structure that links your brain to your spinal cord. It handles unconscious processes and jobs, such as your sleep-wake cycle and breathing. It also contains several junction points for nerves that control muscles and carry information from senses in your head and face.

Can you pick up a human brain?

Can you feel your brain being touched?

There are no pain receptors in the brain itself. But he meninges (coverings around the brain), periosteum (coverings on the bones), and the scalp all have pain receptors.

Is the pons grey or white matter?

The gray matter of pons can be homologous to the spinal cord, such as cranial nerve nuclei, or the gray matter of its own. Pontine gray matter includes pontine nuclei, the gray matter of reticular formation, the superior olivary nucleus, trapezoid body nucleus, and nucleus of the lateral lemniscus.

What is the arachnoid?

The arachnoid is a thin avascular layer of connective tissue that is loosely adherent to the dura and separated from the dura mater by a potential space known as the subdural space. From: Clinical Anatomy of the Spine, Spinal Cord, and Ans (Third Edition), 2014.
