Portage Learning BIO 152 module 2
Cross section of the human brain.
The cerebrum, diencephalon (blue),
brainstem, and cerebellum.
Cross section of the brain with
ventricles highlighted in blue. There are two lateral ventricles, one third
ventricle and one fourth ventricle, which drains CSF into the central
canal of the spinal cord.
,Portage Learning BIO 152 module 2
Astrocytes help to form the
blood-brain barrier by wrapping tightly around capillaries of the central
nervous system, preventing harmful substances from harming neurons.
,Portage Learning BIO 152 module 2
Superior view of the left and
right cerebral hemispheres, divided by the median longitudinal fissure.
Deep grooves are called sulci, and ridges are called gyri in the cerebral
cortex.

Posterior view of the brain: The
cerebrum (blue) is separated from
the
cerebellum by the transverse fissure.
