Human Brain
The human brain has three major structural components: the large dome-shaped cerebrum (top), the smaller somewhat spherical cerebellum (lower right), and the brainstem (center). The brainstem is continuous with the spinal cord. Both the brain and the spinal cord are surrounded by three membranes called the meninges. Inflammation of the meninges is known as meningitis.
