encephalocele
The cranial nerves are located outside of the brain and skull. These nerves come right from the brain and brain stem.
No. The brain is inside the skull. The bump is outside.
Yes, it is possible for the brain to be too big for the skull, which can lead to a condition called hydrocephalus where there is an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. This can cause increased pressure inside the skull and potentially lead to serious health issues.
The brain
The term for the protrusion of the brain through a defect in the skull is "herniation." Specifically, when it involves the brain tissue pushing through an opening in the skull, it may be referred to as a "brain herniation" or "cerebral herniation." This condition can occur due to trauma, tumors, or increased intracranial pressure and is considered a medical emergency.
The skull protects the brain.
The brain is on the inside the skull.
No, the skull is not proximal to the brain; rather, it encases and protects the brain. In anatomical terms, "proximal" refers to being closer to the point of attachment or origin, while the skull is external to the brain. Therefore, the brain is considered to be inside the skull, making the skull distal to the brain in this context.
If you are a human, then your brain is inside your cranium, or skull.
