😀 EASY

 The University of Warwick’s Surgical Society and MedGuide are teaming up once again for a lecture on the Skull and Brain.  Have fun and don’t worry if the questions aren’t too intuitive, the video has all the answers! 

Awaiting review

  • Discuss the osteology of the skull with particular reference to the neuroanatomy of the human body 
  • Discuss the sutures and important fontanelles in the human skull 
  • Discuss the key items of the cranial foramina 
  • Outline the organisation of the brain into forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain 
  • Discuss which structures are derived from the embryological triad above 
  • Outline the clinical correlates of lesions to those structures grossly
