Brain Label (Remote) - Free Printable

You’re looking at a sagittal view of the human brain, and you need to label each structure correctly by dragging the provided terms to their anatomical locations.

Let’s go step-by-step, starting from the top (anterior/superior) and moving downward (posterior/inferior), matching each blank with the correct brain structure.

🔍 Step 1: Identify Key Landmarks

- The Corpus Callosum is the large white matter tract arching over the lateral ventricles — it’s the prominent C-shaped structure near the top center.
- The Fornix is a smaller, curved bundle of fibers beneath the corpus callosum.
- The Thalamus sits deep in the diencephalon, just below the corpus callosum and above the hypothalamus/pituitary.
- The Pineal Body (Gland) is a small pinecone-shaped structure posterior to the thalamus, near the top of the midbrain.
- The Superior Colliculus and Inferior Colliculus are paired structures on the dorsal surface of the midbrain (tectum).
- The Cerebellum is the large, folded structure at the back/bottom of the brain, under the occipital lobe.
- The Pituitary Gland hangs from the hypothalamus at the base of the brain, just above the sphenoid sinus.
- The Midbrain is the topmost part of the brainstem, located between the diencephalon and pons.
- The Pons is the bulging structure below the midbrain, anterior to the cerebellum.
- The Medulla Oblongata connects the pons to the spinal cord and is the lowest part of the brainstem.
- The Spinal Cord extends downward from the medulla.

✔ Label Placement (Top to Bottom, Left to Right)

Here’s how to assign each label based on standard anatomy diagrams:

#### Top Row (Left to Right):
1. Corpus Callosum → Topmost arched white matter band.
2. Fornix → Curved fiber tract just below corpus callosum.
3. Thalamus → Large oval structure beneath corpus callosum.
4. Pineal Body → Small gland behind thalamus, near roof of 3rd ventricle.

#### Middle Row:
5. Superior Colliculus → Upper bump on midbrain tectum.
6. Inferior Colliculus → Lower bump on midbrain tectum (just below superior colliculus).
7. Cerebellum → Large, wrinkled structure at back/base of brain.
8. Pituitary → Small gland hanging below hypothalamus, near sella turcica.

#### Bottom Row:
9. Midbrain → Top of brainstem, just above pons.
10. Pons → Bulge below midbrain, anterior to cerebellum.
11. Medulla → Continuation of brainstem below pons, leading to spinal cord.
12. Spinal Cord → Extends downward from medulla.

🧩 Final Matching (Assuming 12 Blanks)

Since there are 12 labels and 12 blanks, here’s the correct assignment:

| Blank Position (from top left to bottom right) | Structure |
|------------------------------------------------|--------------------|
| 1 | Corpus Callosum |
| 2 | Fornix |
| 3 | Thalamus |
| 4 | Pineal Body |
| 5 | Superior Colliculus|
| 6 | Inferior Colliculus|
| 7 | Cerebellum |
| 8 | Pituitary |
| 9 | Midbrain |
| 10 | Pons |
| 11 | Medulla |
| 12 | Spinal Cord |

> 💡 *Note: Some diagrams may show “Pineal Body” listed twice in the options — ignore the duplicate; use it once.*

📌 Summary

✔ Correctly drag these labels to match the anatomy:

- Top: Corpus Callosum → Fornix → Thalamus → Pineal Body
- Middle: Superior Colliculus → Inferior Colliculus → Cerebellum → Pituitary
- Bottom: Midbrain → Pons → Medulla → Spinal Cord

This labeling follows standard neuroanatomy sagittal section diagrams used in textbooks like Gray’s Anatomy or Netter’s Atlas.
