The document outlines the major anatomical structures of the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, brainstem, cerebellum, ventricles, arteries and veins. It discusses the supratentorial and infratentorial regions of the brain as well as the structures housed in the posterior fossa such as the brainstem and cerebellum. The document also summarizes the anterior and posterior circulations supplying the brain via arteries such as the internal carotid, anterior cerebral and basilar arteries.

38. • Posterior fossa: Houses brainstem
and cerebellum, below tentorium
cerebelli (infratentorial)
• Brainstem: Composed of midbrain
(mesencephalon), pons and medulla
oblongata
• Cerebellum: Largest part of
hindbrain, integrates coordinations
& fine-tuning of movement &
regulation of muscle tone
