Laboratory 13.  Central Nervous System

During this laboratory, you will study both the peripheral and central nervous systems.  Emphasis is placed on basic brain anatomy, nerve plexuses, brain ventricles, and the meninges.  This lab will conclude with a sheep brain dissection to better understand brain anatomy

As always, your photographic atlas, textbook, and the websites listed below are excellent resources to help you study this material.
