Week 3

This week we had our first quiz. Because of our quiz we did not get as much lecture time as usual. I liked this lecture better than the past few because it was a faster pace and we covered more. This week we started going over the brain. Starting to cover the mennges, CSF circulation, blood flow, and the anatomy of the brain. We went through the circulatory pathway and the circle of Willis. You can find these on pages 774 and 758. The wrapping around the brain is two layers thick and the wrapping around the spinal cord is only one layer thick. This is what we went over for the brain so far.

This week in lab I was able to see a sheep brain and the inside of it. This helped having the hands on experience before talking about it in lecture. It is still early in the chapter but having hands on the brain before lecture helped understand the midbrain and hindbrain better.
