LANDMARKS on a MID-SAGITTAL VIEW of the BRAIN

Ultimately, you should be able to identify all these structures. For now fill in the blanks for at least 6 of them on side B. Good choices would be: A, C, E, J, K, and M. We realize that sometimes it is difficult to tell where the pointer end. E is a space, and the other 5 are structures which are identified in Figure 1-35.

Draw in the red nucleus in this view. In which division of the brainstem is it found? Do the same for the reticular formation.

The quality of this image is poor, but try to draw a line around the nodulus, and use an arrow to point to the primary fissure.

Identify K. once again. Note the relationship of this structure to the hypothalamus, above. Just for fun, try to draw in the pituitary on this view, because it also has an important relationship to structure K. What type of visual field impairment would you expect if a pituitary tumor expanded upward, damaging K? Also, identify D,

Identify, once again, structure C,
