Diagrams

Diagrams are the perfect way to get orientated with a structure’s detailed anatomy. Read on to see how we recommend using them.

If you need some help with labeling the following diagrams, check out this video where we show you how to do it step-by-step:

Labeled brain diagram

First up, have a look at the labeled brain structures on the image below. Try to memorize the name and location of each structure, then proceed to test yourself with the blank brain diagram provided below.

Use the arrows and fill-in-the-blank spaces on this diagram to write the name of each brain structure. How many can you remember?

It's not always easy remembering the parts of the brain. Here's how you can quickly and effectively refresh your anatomy knowledge.

If you’re struggling, you might benefit from taking a few quizzes on the anatomy of the brain (see below). These will allow you to identify and work on your weak spots.
