 Neuroscience for Kids - BAW Lesson Plan
As with the lesson on the brain, it is not intended to be comprehensive but simply a discussion of the gross anatomy of the nervous system.
Younger students would likely do better with the Protecting the Brain Lesson, while high school students should be able to handle the more abstract concepts of neuron anatomy and physiology.
Key terms include: brain stem, medulla, frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe.

The tentorial surface of the occipital lobe is limited in front by an imaginary transverse line through the preoccipital notch, and consists of the posterior part of the fusiform gyrus (occipitotemporal convolution) and the lower part of the lingual gyrus, which are separated from each other by the posterior segment of the collateral fissure.
The medial surface of the occipital lobe is bounded in front by the medial part of the parietoöccipital fissure, and is traversed by the calcarine fissure, which subdivides it into the cuneus and the lingual gyrus.

As a final check, all parietal lobe anatomy is corroborated with the 3D cortical model (Figure 8, Figure 9, Figure 10, and Figure 11).
The parietal lobe is defined as the portion of the cerebrum superior and anterior to the parieto-occipital sulcus, posterior to the central sulcus, and superior to the corpus callosum (Figure 1).
The parietal lobe is traced in the sagittal plane.

 Flyingfish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The fish rapidly move the lower lobe to propel themselves forward once the rest of the body has already left the water.
To prepare for a glide, the fish swim rapidly close to the surface of the water, with their fins close to the body.
Their most striking feature is their pectoral fins, which are unusually large, and enable the fish to take short gliding flights in order to escape predators.

The facial nerve in its initial extratemporal passage lies deep to the superficial lobe of the parotid gland and is not amenable to injury during facelifting in this part of its course.
Another function of anatomy is to define terms that are understood by all so that communication about surgical techniques, outcomes, and ideas can be universal.
The great auricular nerve lies deep to the superficial layer of the deep investing fascia on the sternocleidomastoid muscle as it traverses from posteroinferior to anterosuperior to emerge in the vicinity of the infra-aural region, where the skin is firmly attached to the sternocleidomastoid muscle.

Cells with similar properties were later found in the rat's posterior parietal lobes." I. Glynn, An Anatomy of Thought.
Recent evidence suggests that some aspects of location monitoring may be subserved by the parietal cortex; in particular, the parietal lobe appears to mediate the construction and maintenance of an internal spatial representation.
This particular area of the parietal lobe is thought to be important for mathematical abilities and spatial reasoning.

Memories are logged into the brain through the temporal lobes intermingled with smell and emotional centers, explaining why we remember things that have emotional significance and why animals use their nose so much.
The parietal lobes handle incoming sensations while the frontal lobes, which constitute nearly half the brain, control important functions like reasoning, judgment, planning, proper social behavior, and so on.
Mammals needed a system of nerves to express a wider range of emotions, hence the "limbic system," an old section of the brain located in the temporal lobe and deep areas of the brain.

It is customary in human anatomy to include under the name of cerebrum, not only the convolutions, the corpora striata, and the optic thalami, developed in the anterior cerebral vesicle, but also the corpora quadrigemina and crura cerebri developed in the mesencephalon or middle cerebral vesicle.
The callosal gyrus, which is also called the gyros fornicatus from its arched appearance, is continued backward round the posterior end of the corpus callosum, and so to the mesial surface of the temporal lobe.
