Brain Cancer

Description: 

The image is two drawings showing different parts of a person’s brain. The largest part of the brain, the cerebrum, is made up of four lobes: the frontal lobe at the front of the skull, the parietal lobe at the upper rear of the skull, above the occipital lobe, which is at the back of the skull, and the temporal lobe, which is located under the frontal and parietal lobes on both sides of the cerebrum. The cerebellum is located under the occipital and temporal lobes at the rear of the skull. The brain stem includes the pons and the medulla oblongata, which connects to the spinal cord.
