[Free] Brain Anatomy
A Professional guide to learning anatomy of the brain
Requirements
- Understanding of anatomy basics
Description
From the brain, and from the brain only, arise our pleasures, joys,
laughter and jests, as well as our sorrows, pains, griefs, and tears.
Hippocrates (460?–377? bc), The Sacred Disease
-The brain regulates and coordinates many critical functions, from thought processes to bodily movements.
For this reason, it is important to identify the anatomy of the brain .
-This course is presented through animated videos (by white board animation).
-this course is a professional guide to learning anatomy of the brain
-In this course we will learn every thing about anatomy of the brain in easy way.

-At the end you will be able to
• Identify the structures of the limbic system, and describe their function.
• Identify the major arteries of the cerebrum, and list the structures they supply.
• List the arteries that constitute the circle of Willis.
• Identify the superficial cortical veins, deep veins, and dural sinuses of the cerebrum.
• Identify the function and course of the cranial nerves.
Describe the meninges.
Describe the production and absorption of cerebrospinal fluid
. Identify the components of the ventricular system.
Identify the basal cisterns.
List the structures of the diencephalon.
Describe the location and function of the components of the cerebrum, brainstem, and cerebellum.
