Document Summary
Anatomical structures can be divided into front and back. Anatomical structures can be divided into top and bottom. Anatomical structures can be sectioned along flat surfaces (planes) Vertical plane dividing structure into right and left halves. Nervous system is organized along an anterior to posterior axis. Different regions of the brain have different longitudinal axis. Cerebellum is ventral to the forebrain axis but dorsal to that of the brain stem. Note: the nervous system is organized along an anterior to posterior axis with a fluid filled tube running through the center. At the anterior end, the structure have enlarged with evolutionary advancement and to accommodate for this enlargement, the brain has become distorted and curved so that some structures are more difficult to assign anatomical references. Neural cell bodies are often organized in rows. Row or layer of cell bodies separated from another row or layer by a layer of. Row of cells perpendicular to the surface of the brain.
