For each nucleus there are two diagrams from different sources. The gross location of nuclei and their relationships are same in both diagrams; there are minor variations in shape of some nuclei. Lateral nucleus is shown in only one diagram. There is a self-assessment quiz slide. Hovering over the question mark with cursor will give answer on the tool-tip. Clicking on it will take you to the appropriate slide. From there you can come back to the ‘all-nuclei slide’ or the ‘quiz-slide’ by clicking on the appropriate button.
