Brain & cranial nerves (half)
Product code: HP1202
-
Single Side Left or right side of a region / system / organ.
The brain is the originator, processor, and controller of numerous body functions including movement, sensation, communication, mood, emotion, memory, homeostasis, and decision making. It consists of the cerebrum, brainstem, and cerebellum, and together with the spinal cord forms the central nervous system. This Silicone Plastinate reveals the external structure of the half of the cerebrum, brainstem, and cerebellum, alongside a median sagittal view of the brain and its ventricles, and the origin of most cranial nerves.
