Internal structure of the Brain (large Print)
by Rnib BookshareThis image shows a mid-saggital cross-section of the brain (i.e. through longitudinal fissure, in the centre of the brain). There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. There is an image border surrounding the image and labels. The main part of the brain is labelled cerebrum with the front of the brain on the left. Down from this in the centre is the pons, medulla and the spinal cord which extends to the bottom of the page. To the right of the pons and the medulla is the cerebellum. In the centre of the diagram is the corpus callosum which is a curved horizontal shape, and the three oval structures below this depict the thalamus, hypothalamus and pineal gland. The pituitary gland is below and to the left of the hypothalamus. Note: the thalamus is not in centre of the brain, there is one in each hemisphere just on either side of the longitudinal fissure.

Visual pathway (large print)
by Rnib BookshareThis image shows the pathway of the optic nerves from the eyes to the brain. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. It is shown as a top-down (plan) view of a horizontal cross section through the eyes and brain (eyes on the left hand side, and back of head on the right hand side). It reads from left to right. The diagram is split into 5 vertical sections labelled above, and each section is separated by vertical dotted lines. The first section on the left is labelled Eyes, and below this are two circles representing eyes, with the left eye below the right eye. The sections after this are all within the brain. The second section Optic nerve shows a solid line extending from the left of each eye and a dashed line extending from the right of each eye. These are the optic nerves and labels next to the lines explain which side of the eye each optic nerve extends from. The next section Optic chiasm shows two of the optic nerves crossing. The left optic nerve from the right eye crosses the right optic nerve from the left eye. The next section Lateral geniculate bodies shows two circles. The lower one is on the left side of the brain, and the upper one is on the right side of the brain. The two solid lines from each eye meet at the lower circle and the two dashed lines meet at the upper circle. The final section Visual cortex shows the back of the brain, with the two hemispheres left and right. The dashed line from the right Lateral geniculate body goes to the right hemisphere and the solid line from the left Lateral geniculate body goes to the left hemisphere. This means that the right side of each eye is represented in the right hand side of the brain and the left side of each eye is represented in the left side of the brain.

Bones of the human right foot (UEB contracted)
by Adrian FarnsworthThis image shows the bones of the human foot shown from above. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The toes are at the top of the page and the heel bone is at the bottom centre of the page. The big toe is at the top left and is made of two bones. The other four toes to the right are each made of three bones. Down from the toes are five long bones and then a number of square and rounded bones that form the body of the foot. The two bones just up from the heel are where the lower end of the long bones of the lower leg attach. They would come straight up towards you.

The mouth and throat (UEB contracted)
by RnibThis image shows a cross section through the head and neck. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The head is facing to the left with the body facing forwards. Only parts of the shoulders are shown. The mouth is in the left centre of the page. The lips are slightly parted. To the right are two incisor teeth shown in section. The rounded tongue is to the right of this. Up from the tongue is the thin hard palette which separates the mouth and nasal cavities. The nasal cavity on the left has a small opening which is the nostril that allows air into the nasal cavity. On the right of the nasal cavity is an opening going past the soft palette into the naso-pharynx. This joins the back of the mouth in the start of the throat. Only the top part of the air passageway (larynx) is shown near the epiglottis, the small flap which closes the air passageway when food is being swallowed. Food goes down the oesophagus at the bottom of the page towards the stomach.
