Gross Anatomy
• The best way to learn anatomy is a combination of
coloring the anatomy book and hands-on labs.
• Thus there will be no lecture on this topic
• Use the following notes & figures as prompts and
reminders, rather than as a laundry list to be
memorized.
Terms describing anatomical structures
A bundle of axons:
in the Central Nervous System = TRACT (e.g., ‘optic tract’)
in the Peripheral Nervous System = NERVE (e.g., optic nerve)
A collection of cell bodies
in the Central Nervous System = NUCLEUS (e.g. nucleus accumbens)
in the Peripheral Nervous System = GANGLION
(exception: basal ganglia are in the CNS)
Gray matter - cell bodies
White matter - myelinated axons
Gyrus – ridge or protuberance on surface of the brain
Sulcus – groove on surface of brain between gyri
Fissure – long, deep sulcus
