Parts of Brain Location A. Cranial meninges 1. Dorsal portion of the midbrain B. Corpora quadrigemina 2. Between the thalamus/hypothalamus of the forebrain and pons of the hindbrain C. Cerebral aqueduct 3. Inside the skull D. Midbrain 4. Between Midbrain

Step-by-step solution

The midbrain is located between the thalamus/hypothalamus of the forebrain and pons of the hindbrain. A canal called the cerebral aqueduct passess through the midbrain. The dorsal portion of the midbrain consists mainly of four round swellings (lobes) called corpora quadrigemina. The human brain is well protected by the skull. Inside the skull, the brain is covered by cranial meninges consisting of an outer layer called dura mater, a very thin middle layer called arachnoid and an inner layer (which is in contact wi
