Brain Dissection 03 - Orientation: The Planes of the Brain

03 - Orientation: The Planes of the Brain (8 minutes): Terms such as anterior, posterior, inferior and superior are introduced with respect to the hemispheres as well as the brain stem. Terms such as rostral and caudal or dorsal and ventral can mean different things in different areas. Sections in three planes (frontal, axial, and sagittal) are demonstrated on gross specimens along with key features including the ventricular system. (Suzanne S. Stensaas, Ph.D., University of Utah)
