Semidiagrammatic. A major organ of the endocrine system, the anterior pituitary (also called the adenohypophysis or pars anterior) is the glandular, anterior lobe that together with the posterior lobe ( posterior pituitary, or the neurohypophysis) makes up the pituitary gland (hypophysis) which, in humans, is located at the base of the brain ...
The pituitary gland or hypophysis is an endocrine gland in vertebrates. In humans, the pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain, protruding off the bottom of the hypothalamus. The human pituitary gland is oval shaped, about the size of a chickpea, [ 2] and weighs 0.5 grams (0.018 oz) on average.
72251. Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. [ edit on Wikidata] The anterior lobe of cerebellum is the portion of the cerebellum responsible for mediating unconscious proprioception. Inputs into the anterior lobe of the cerebellum are mainly from the spinal cord. [1] It is sometimes equated to the "paleocerebellum".
The frontal lobe is located at the front of each cerebral hemisphere and positioned in front of the parietal lobe and above and in front of the temporal lobe.It is separated from the parietal lobe by a space between tissues called the central sulcus, and from the temporal lobe by a deep fold called the lateral sulcus also called the Sylvian fissure.
The large paired and convoluted lobes found in humans are typical of mammals, but the cerebellum is generally a single median lobe in other groups, and is either smooth or only slightly grooved. In mammals, the neocerebellum is the major part of the cerebellum by mass, but in other vertebrates, it is typically the spinocerebellum. [16]
Cerebellar hemisphere. Not to be confused with Cerebral hemisphere. Left cerebellar hemisphere. Right cerebellar hemisphere. Schematic representation of the major anatomical subdivisions of the cerebellum. Superior view of an "unrolled" cerebellum, placing the vermis in one plane. The cerebellum consists of three parts, a median and two lateral ...
NeuroLex ID. birnlex_936. Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. [ edit on Wikidata] In the human brain, the anterior cingulate cortex ( ACC) is the frontal part of the cingulate cortex that resembles a "collar" surrounding the frontal part of the corpus callosum. It consists of Brodmann areas 24, 32, and 33 . It is involved in certain higher-level ...
The piriform cortex is part of the rhinencephalon situated in the cerebrum . In human anatomy, the piriform cortex has been described as consisting of the cortical amygdala, uncus, and anterior parahippocampal gyrus. [ 1] More specifically, the human piriform cortex is located between the insula and the temporal lobe, anteriorly and laterally ...
