1 Chapter 14 The Brain and Cranial Nerves Largest organ in the body? Brain functions in sensations, memory, emotions, decision making, behavior Embryonic Brain Development Principal Parts of the Brain (a) 4 weeks (c) Fully developed Telencephalon Prosencephalon Optic vesicle Mesencephalon Metencephalon Rhombencephalon Myelencephalon (b) 5 weeks Telencephalon Forebrain Mesencephalon Midbrain Metencephalon Hindbrain Myelencephalon (medulla oblongata) Figure Cerebrum thalamus hypothalamus Epithalamus Pineal gland Brainstem: Medulla oblongata pons midbrain 19-4 Protective Coverings of the Brain Bone, meninges & CSF Meninges same as around the spinal cord dura mater arachnoid mater pia mater Skull Dura mater: Periosteal layer Meningeal layer Arachnoid villus Arachnoid mater Blood vessel Pia mater Brain: Gray matter White matter Meninges of the Brain Subdural space Subarachnoid space Superior sagittal sinus Falx cerebri (in longitudinal fissure only) 19-5 Figure

2 Blood Supply to Brain 2% of weight - uses 20% of our oxygen Internal carotid & vertebral arteries to circle of Willis Vessels on surface of brain----penetrate tissue Blood-brain barrier (BBB) protects cells from some toxins and pathogens a couple of areas without BBB (glucose, ph, osmolarity) Blood-CSF barrier at ependymal cells of choroid plexus Cerebrospinal Fluid ml (3 5 oz) Clear liquid water, oxygen, glucose, proteins, & ions Continuously circulates around brain (ventricles, central canal, subarachnoid space) Functions: Buoyancy Mechanical protection Chemical protection (homeostasis) ionic concentrations for AP s removes some metabolic products from nervous tissue Ventricles Flow of Cerebrospinal Fluid 8 Arachnoid villus Superior sagittal sinus Arachnoid mater 1 CSF is secreted by choroid plexus in each lateral ventricle. 2 CSF flows through Interventricular foramina into third ventricle. 2 1 Subarachnoid space Dura mater Choroid plexus 3 Choroid plexus in third ventricle adds more CSF. 3 Third ventricle 4 CSF flows down cerebral aqueduct to fourth ventricle. 4 7 Cerebral aqueduct Lateralaper ture 5 Choroid plexus in fourth ventricle adds more CSF. Fourth ventricle 2 lateral ventricles, one within each cerebral hemisphere, 3rd ventricle, fourth ventricle CSF produced by choroid plexus (ependymal cells Circulation 6 CSF flows out two lateral apertures and one median aperture. 7 CSF fills subarachnoid space and bathes external surfaces of brain and spinal cord. 8 At arachnoid villi, CSF is reabsorbed into venous blood of dural venous sinuses Median aperture Centralcanal of spinal cord 19-9 Subarachnoid space of spinal cord Brain stem Medulla oblongata - Relays motor & sensory - brain and spinal cord - all fibers going to/from brain/spinal cord - consciousness/alert - cardiovascular center - respiratory center - bv diameter - motor control - sensory info. Principal Parts of the Brain CSF is reabsorbed through arachnoid villi
