The _________ _________, which is the layer of the meninges, is located nearest to the brain and spinal cord.

Also known as spinal fluid, is produced by special capillares within the four ventricles located in the midline region of the cerebrum.

Is the largest and uppermost portion of the brain; it´s responsible for all thought judgment, memory, and emotion, as well as for controlling and integrating motor and sensitory functions.

Means pertaining to the cerebrum or to the brain.

The ______ ________ which is made up of the gray matter, is the outer layer of the cerebrum and is made up of elevated folds and Deep fissures.
