  1. Chapter 9a The Central Nervous System

  2. About this Chapter • Anatomy of the central nervous system • The spinal cord • The brain • Brain function

  3. The Embryonic Nervous System • The neural tube specializes into the seven major regions of the central nervous system • A 4-week human embryo showing the anterior end of the neural tube, which has specialized into three brain regions Hindbrain Spinalcord Forebrain Midbrain Lumen of neural tube (a) Figure 9-3a

  4. Hindbrain Medullaoblongata Cerebellumand Pons Midbrain Forebrain Diencephalon Cerebrum Spinalcord Cerebrum Diencephalon Eye Midbrain Medullaoblongata (b) The Embryonic Nervous System • At 6 weeks, the neural tube has differentiated into the brain regions present at birth. The central cavity (lumen) shown in the cross section will become the ventricles of the brain. (see Fig. 9.5) Figure 9-3b

  5. Cerebrum Diencephalon Midbrain Cerebellum Pons Medullaoblongata Spinalcord (c) The Embryonic Nervous System • By 11 weeks of embryonic development, the growth of the cerebrum is noticeably more rapid than that of the other divisions of the brain. Figure 9-3c

  8. CNS: Bone and Connective Tissue • Brain is encased in bony skull or cranium • Spinal cord runs through vertebralcolumn • Meninges lies between bone and tissues • Dura mater • Arachnoid membrane • Pia mater • Meningeal layers of the brain cushion and protect delicate neural tissue

  19. CNS: Blood-Brain Barrier ★★ Astrocytefoot processessecrete paracrines thatpromote tightjunction formation. Astrocyte Tight junction preventssolute movementbetween endothelial cells. (a) Figure 9-6a

  20. CNS: Blood-Brain Barrier Figure 9-6b

  21. CNS: Neural Tissue – Metabolic Needs • Oxygen • Passes freely across blood-brain barrier • Brain receives 15% of blood pumped by heart • Glucose • Brain responsible for about half of body’s glucose consumption • Membrane transporters move glucose from plasma into the brain interstitial fluid • Progressive hypoglycemia leads to confusion, unconsciousness, and death

  33. The Brain: Hypothalamus • Activates sympathetic nervous system • Maintains body temperature • Controls body osmolarity • Controls reproductive functions • Controls food intake • Interacts with limbic system to influence behavior and emotions • Influences cardiovascular control center in medulla oblongata • Secretes trophic hormones that control release of hormones from anterior pituitary gland
