Table on Subarachnoid cisterns

Topics:

Cerebellomedullary cistern (magna)

Median pontine cistern

Interpeduncular cistern

Cistern of the great cerebral vein

Lateral pontine cistern or Pontocerebellar cistern

Ambiens cistern

Cistern of the lateral fossa

The walls of the cerebral ventricles

Written by a helpful professor to help in this difficult topic.

Excerpt:
"Choroid plexus locations: found in the roof of the 3rd and 4th ventricles and next to the central part and inferior horns of the lateral ventricles. (The choroid plexus is enlarged at the junction between inferior horn and central part; here it is called the choroid glomus). None is found in the anterior or posterior horns. The plexus in the lateral ventricle is the largest and most important and is continuous with that of the 3rd ventricle above the interventricular foramina. The lateral openings of the 4th ventricle (foramina of Luschka) also contain choroid plexus which protrude through them and secrete CSF into the subarachnoid space."

Histology hand-written notes for second-semester students

Here's a set of histology second semester exam notes not only becoming the first set of fully schematically illustrated histology second semester exam notes here at this medical school, but also the first set of histology second semester exam notes with complete organ descriptions preceeding the description of each separate histological preparation. 

Hand written notes developmental embryology

Although it's hand taken notes it's still extremely useful. Very illustrative drawings.

What's the Ductus Omphalo-entericus?

The ductus omphalo-entericus or allantois is a membrane that is present in the embryonic stage of mammals, reptiles and birds. The allantoic membrane is designed to help the fetus survive, removing waste from the animal. Both liquid waste and gases that the embryo have used are exchanged through this membrane. The allantois contains a network of blood vessels that the animal uses to remove waste products from the body.

Although many different animals have an allantoic membrane, they are not exactly the same. In birds and reptiles, the allantoic membrane not only removes waste from the embryo, but also helps to provide oxygen. Despite the appearance that the shell of an egg is solid, it can be permeated by oxygen. The allantois absorbs the oxygen that enters the egg and transmits it to the embryo.
