| Brain: Internal structures: third ventrical | area in the center of the brain with the little brow pea floating in it (the brown pea is the thalamus) |
| Brain: Internal structures: cerebral aquiduct | connects the third and fourth ventricles (it runs in front on the pons |
| Brain: Internal structures: fourth ventrical | it is a little space beneath the bulge of the pons |
| Brain: External Structures: Lobes of the cerebrum | there are 5 lobes on each side, frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital and insula (hemispheres are divided by the longitudinal fissure) |

| Brain: External Structures: longitudinal fissure | a separation in the cortex that divides the cortex into left and right hemispheres |
| Brain: External Structures: central sulcus | deep groove in the cerebral cortex that divides the cerebral cortex into front and back sections (approximately where a headband would go) |

| Slides: Nerve : axon, myelin sheath | axons are the only process that would have a myelin sheath, dendrites do not. |
| Slides: Nerve fibers (teased): axon, myelin sheath, nodes of ranvier | If it looks like a string of hot dogs, the node is found between the hot dogs, the hot dogs are the schwann cells of the myelin sheath, probably can't see the axon if it is myelinated |
| Slides: Cerebral cortex: pyramidal cells | triangular shaped cell body (hence the name), single axon, but three branches of dendrites coming out of the corners of the triangle. The axon branches look like root systems of large trees. |
| Slides: Cerebellum: purkinje cells, granular cell layer | the purkinje cells are found between the molecular and granular layers of the cerebellum's cortex. The granular layer is on the inside of the layer of purkinje cells. |
| Slides: mammal spinal cord (cs): motor cell bodies | the motor cell bodies are found inside the gray matter butterfly of the spinal column (the axons extend into the white matter |
| Slides: spinal ganglion: sensory cell bodies (axon, myelin sheath, nodes) | Irregularly shaped cell bodies with what looks like connective tissue in between.The stuff that looks like connective tissue is the nerve fibers.This was a cross section so the halo is the myelin,dark spot in center is axon and couldn't see the nodes |
