THE BEAIN AND NERVOUS SECTIONAL VIKW OF THE HEAD. The cut represents a section of the head, and shows not only the location of the difi^erent parts of the brain, with the cranial bones, which inclose it, but also gives the anatomy of that entire member, and of the neck. It will be found exceedingly useful for reference, in connection with several other sections of this work. a The nasal bone, or bone of the nose. b The frontal bone. The cavities or cells beneath are called the frontal sin- uses, c The crest or ridge of the parietal bones. d The tentorium, or bony separation between the cerebrum and cerebellum. e The occipital bone. 4.
