A detailed anatomy list with all the structures you need to know to pass the anatomy part of the 'Neurosciences' (AB_1200) course. This list helped me pass with a 7.
Coronal view
1. Cranium
- Description the skull that encases and protects the brain
- Function provides structural support and protection for the brain
2. Dura mater
- Description tough outermost layer of the meninges
- Function acts as a protective barrier for the brain and spinal cord
3. Stratum periostale
- Description outer layer of the dura mater
- Function attaches the dura mater to the inner surface of the skull
4. Stratum meningeale
- Description inner layer of the dura mater
- Function provides structural support and protection of the brain
5. Neurothelium
- Description neural tissue lining the cavities of the brain
- Function involved in the production and circulation of cerebrospinal fluid CSF
6. Arachnoidea mater
- Description delicate middle layer of the meninges
- Function supports blood vessels and helps regulate CSF flow
7. Granulationes arachnoideae
- Description protrusions of the arachnoid mater into the venous sinuses
- Function facilitate CSF drainage into the venous system
8. Cavum subarachnoideum
- Description subarachnoid space containing CSF
- Function cushions and protects the brain, facilitation nutrient exchange
9. Pia mater
- Description thin, delicate innermost layer of the meninges
- Function adheres to the brain’s surface, providing vascular support
10. Cerebral cortex
- Description outer layer of the brain responsible for higher functions
- Function plays a key role in memory, attention, perception, and consciousness
, 11. Vena cerebri
- Description veins that drain blood from the brain
- Function returns deoxygenated blood from the brain to the heart
12. Vena menigealis
- Description veins associated with the meninges
- Function drains blood from the meninges
13. Sinus sagittalis superior
- Description venous channel collecting blood from the brain
- Function drains deoxygenated blood to the internal jugular vein
Lateral view
1. Foramen intra-ventriculare (Monro)
- Description passage connecting the lateral ventricles to the third ventricle
- Function allows for the flow of CSF between ventricles
2. Aquaeductus cerebri
- Description narrow channel connecting the third and fourth ventricles
- Function facilitates CSF flow within the ventricular system
3. Atrium
- Description expanded portion of the lateral ventricle
- Function acts as a reservoir for CSF
4. Fourth ventricle
- Description ventricular space adjacent to the cerebellum
- Function collects and circulates CSF within the brain
5. Third ventricle
- Description midline ventricle between the thalami
- Function facilitates CSF flow within the ventricular system
6. Canalis centralis
- Description central canal in the spinal cord
- Function contains CSF and provides support to the spinal cord
7. Lateral ventricles
- Description paired ventricles within the cerebral hemispheres
- Function produce and circulate CSF
