Anatomical Chart The Brain

Product Information

The main blood supply to the brain comes from the carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries. The carotid arteries branch off from the aorta (the largest artery in your body found by the heart) and are broken into the internal and external carotid artery. The internal carotid artery and the vertebral arteries come together to form an anastomosis, a complex network of blood vessels that provide an alternative route for blood to move through if an injury to the brain occurs. This particular anastomosis is called the circle of Willis. Circle of Willis

The cerebrum is the uppermost and largest part of the brain. It is split by a central fissure into the right and left hemispheres and is also divided into four major lobes. The cerebrum controls several functions such as learning, emotions and movement, to name a few. The circle of Willis is found on the inferior (bottom) side of the brain and is responsible for supplying oxygenated blood to more than 80% of the cerebrum. It is composed of the anterior cerebral arteries, anterior communicating artery, internal carotid arteries, posterior cerebral arteries, and posterior communicating arteries. The cerebellum is situated underneath the cerebrum and is used to coordinate our movements, posture and balance. The cerebellum is found below the temporal and occipital lobes, and it is the largest structure of our hindbrain. The cerebellum is broken up into three lobes: the flocculonodular lobe, anterior lobe and posterior lobe.Designed by our professional medical illustrators and exclusive to AnatomyStuff, the brain anatomy poster shows the following, fully labelled anatomical details: The human brain is the most complex part of our body and the organthat defines our humanity. The brain is composed of three major sections: The cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem.

The parietal lobe is located above the temporal lobe and between the frontal lobe and occipital lobe. Containing the sensory cortex, it is responsible for the sense of touch, pain and temperature. It is also responsible for interpreting language, hearing, memory, and spatial and visual perception. Temporal lobe The brain anatomy poster is laminated and wipeable marker pens can be used to make notations. Our range of anatomical wall charts make perfect displays for use by professionals in a clinic and for students. The oculomotor nerve helps control the muscle movements of your eyes. It also constricts the pupil exposed to bright lighting and helps your lens adjust when looking at near or far objects. IV. Trochlear nerve This comprehensive and highly detailed brain anatomy chart is a great tool for learning or teaching about the complex anatomy of the human brain. Detailing the function and structure of the brain, this brightly coloured chart makes for an ideal study aid for students of anatomy and medicine or for clinical displays.The abducens nerve is yet another nerve that is involved with the movements of your eyes by supplying the lateral rectus muscle. It allows you to look outwards. VII. Facial Nerve The olfactory nerve is the first and shortest of the cranial nerves. It conveys sensory information related to your sense of smell. II. Optic nerve The frontal lobe is the largest lobe of the brain, located directly behind the forehead. It is responsible for your self-awareness, emotions, planning, judgement, movement, and speech. It is involved with memory, impulse control, and social behaviour. The frontal lobe is separated from the parietal lobe by the central sulcus and separated from the temporal lobes by the lateral sulcus. Parietal lobe
