Organization of the Nervous System Lesson 4
The Central Nervous System • CNS • Brain • Spinal cord ~
Peripheral Nervous System • Somatic Nervous System - SNS • Sensory Division • Motor Division • Autonomic Nervous System - ANS • Sympathetic Division • Parasympathetic Division • Homeostasis ~
Divisions of the Brain • Different schemes • 5 major subdivisions • Telencephalon • Diencephalon • Mesencephalon • Metencephalon • Myelencephalon ~
Divisions of the Brain • Forebrain • cortex • sub-cortical areas • Midbrain • tectum & tegmentum • Hindbrain • cerebellum & pons • medulla ~
Terminology • Dorsal - toward the back • Ventral - toward the stomach • Anterior & Posterior • Rostral & Caudal ~
Dorsal Superior Anterior Posterior Rostral Caudal Ventral Inferior In reference to the BRAIN
Superior Rostral Ventral Dorsal Anterior Posterior Caudal Inferior In reference to brainstem & spinal cord
Terminology • Medial - toward the midline • Lateral - away from the midline • Ipsilateral - same side • Contralateral - opposite side • Decussate - crossover ~
Medial: toward the midline Lateral: away from midline
Ipsilateral same side mid-line Contralateral opposite side of mid-line
This tract of fibers decussates. • It crosses the midline
Afferent Efferent Terminology • Afferent - toward • Efferent - away from ~
Planes • Coronal or frontal • cross-section - salami • Sagittal - side view • hot-dog bun • Horizontal • top view ~
Horizontal Section View from top
Mid-sagittal Section Side view
Forebrain • Cortical areas • Fiber systems • Landmarks • Fissures /Sulci • Gyri • Lobes ~
Superior surface Longitudinal Fissure (sulcus)
Central sulcus Lateral sulcus
Frontal planning motor control emotion Parietal somatosensory maps of body & space Temporal auditory memory Occipital vision ~ Major Lobes & Primary Function
The Meninges • Tough connective tissue • Dura mater - tough outer layer • Arachnoid membrane - soft middle layer • Pia mater - soft inner layer, next to brain ~
Subarachnoid space • Gap between arachnoid membrane and pia mater • Filled with Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) • Brain floats in CSF ~
The Meninges Dura mater Arachnoid membrane Subarachnoid space CSF Pia mater Brain
Ventricular System • *Continuous with subarachnoid space • 4 interconnected ventricles • chambers • Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) • manufactured in choroid plexus • 125 ml, t1/2= 3 hrs • *Buoyancy: 1400 g 50 g • Hydrocephalus • blockage of CSF flow ~
