Neuroanatomy

An exclusive chapter covers meningeal coverings and dural venous sinuses. The cerebrum and cerebellum have been dealt with in terms of external surface and interior anatomy. The thalamus and hypothalamus and the brain stem along with ventricular anatomy have been emphasized. The section concludes with a chapter on blood supply.
