Organization of Neural Tissue White matter versus gray matter Fiber bundles Nerves versus tracts Nerve cell bodies Nucleus versus ganglion
Organization of Neural Tissue Generally Central cavity surrounded by a gray matter core External white matter Composed of myelinated fiber tracts Brain has additional areas of gray matter Not present in spinal cord

The Brain 4 Adult brain regions 1. Cerebral hemispheres (cerebrum) 2. Diencephalon 3. Cerebellum 4. Brain stem (midbrain, pons, and medulla)
The Brain
The Brain Four major regions are connected by ventricles and aqueducts
The Brain Ventricles Filled with cerebrospinal fluid Lined by ependymal cells Continuous with one another
The Cerebrum Cerebral hemispheres form superior part of brain About 80% of brain mass 3 tissue layers Superficial cortex = gray matter Internal white matter Basal nuclei = islands of gray matter

The Cerebrum Cerebral cortex Surface layer of cerebrum Executive Suite Convolutions Gyri elevated ridges Sulci shallow grooves Fissures deep grooves, separate larger regions of the brain
The Cerebrum Fissures divide cerebral hemispheres into 4 lobes
The Cerebrum 3 types of functional areas in the cerebral cortex 1. Motor areas Control voluntary movement 2. Sensory areas Conscious awareness of sensation 3. Association areas Integrate diverse information
The Cerebrum Functional areas of the cerebral cortex Contralateral orientation Hemispheres are functionally specialized Conscious behavior involves the entire cortex
