Document Summary
Readings are important but focus on parts talked about in lecture. Multiple choice + fill in the blank + essay questions. Review of the cns: terminology in the brain. For the top of the body it is like for animals. For the bottom half of the body terminology treats us like we are on all fours applies for the brain but for lower half it gets a bit more confusing. All the info is processed in the visual system is processed by the contralateral side of the brain. There are different ways of slicing the brain. Underneath the duramater, we have the arachnoid that connects the dura mater to the pia mater (spongy like structure) Pia mater thin surface that protects the brain. In the pns , we lose the arachnoid mater but we still have 2 layers , duramater and pia mater. Four spaces filled with csf in the brain.
