Nervous System

I. Two parts

A. Central Nervous system 1. Brain 2. Spinal Cord B. Peripheral Nervous system 1. Functions 2. Divisions a. Somatic b. Autonomic 1. Sympathetic 2. Parasympathetic

SLIDE 3

Central Nervous System: 1. Brain and Spinal cord A. Surrounded by CSF 1. Mechanical protection a. shock absorber b. float B. Chemical protection 1. Assist in nerve transmission C. Circulation 1. Transfer or nutrients and waste from blood to nervous tissues 2. Choroid plexus ~network of capillaries in ventricle walls that form CSF from plasma

SLIDE 4

2. Tracing (flow of CSF)
A. CSF from Choroid Plexus
B. Interventricular Foramen
C. Increase of CSF from roof of 3rd ventricle
D. Cerebral Aqueduct
E. 4th ventricle then
F. Aperatures
1. One medium
2. Two lateral

G. Subarachnoid space H. Posterior surface of the brain and inferior spinal cord I. Reabsorbed into superiorsaggital sinus

appx. 20 ml/hr

Hydrocephalus: “water head” -- babies blockage -- adults from injury/illness

trauma
meningitis
subarachnoid hemorrage

3. Brain Blood Supply
A. Major supplier
1. Cerebral artery
a. Base of the brain
b. Circle of Willis
2. Brain is 2% of body weight
3. Brain uses 20 of the Oxygen in a resting adult
4. Glucose used by the brain to make ATP must

be constantly supplied as it stores none

SLIDE 8

5. What gets in:
A. glucose, oxygen, Carbon dioxide, water,
B. Lipid based substances
1. Caffeine, nicotine, heroin, anesthetics
6. What does not get in:
A. Proteins
B. Antibiotics

SLIDE 9

3. Brain Stem
A. Medulla Oblongata (Medulla)
1. Inferior part of the brain stem
2. Superior to the foramen magnum
3. Inferior to the inferior pons
4. Contains all ascending and descending tracts
5. Regulates some regions
A. Cardio center (rate and force of heart beat)
B. Rhythms of breathing
C. Swallowing
D. Coughing
E. Vomitting
F. Sneezing
G. hiccoughs

SLIDE 10

4. Pons
A. Bridge between the cord and the brain
B. Superior to the medulla
C. Anterior the cerebellum

SLIDE 11

Peripheral Nervous System: 1. Neurons (aka Nerve cells) A. Cell body

1. Nucleus
2. Metabolic center of cell

B. Dendrite 1. Impulses toward the cell body C. Axon 1. Impulses away from cell body 2. Release neurotransmitters

SLIDE 12

Motor Neuron

SLIDE 13

3. Synaptic cleft
A. Space between Axon and next dendrite
4. Neurons are covered by lipid based material

called Myelin. A. Made up of Schwann cells outside

f the CNS.

B. Tight wrapping is called the myelin sheath C. Small area outside of the sheath is called the neurilemma D. Gaps or indentations are called Nodes of Ranvier
