Instructor s Review for Final Exams The Nervous System
Divisions of the Central Nervous System? Brain and spinal cord. Key word, central.
Divisions of the nervous system Central and Peripheral
Coverings of the Brain and Spinal cord The meninges Dura mater Arachnoid Pia mater Also called the Dural tube when referring just to the spinal cord Cerebral spinal fluid flows in the subarachnoid space, provides buoyancy and protection to the CNS Rectus Capitis posterior minor is said to have an attachment to the Dura mater
Cranial Nerves 12 Pairs Olfactory Optic Oculomotor Trochlear Trigeminal Abducens Facial Vestibulocochlear Glossopharyngeal Vagus Accessory Hypoglossal
Spinal Nerves 31 Pairs Exit from the spinal cord Combine, or meet in areas we call plexuses. The Four most important Cervical plexus (C1-5) Brachial plexus (C5-T1) Lumbar plexus (L1-4) Sacral plexus (L4/L5-S4) SPINAL NERVES 8 12 5 5 1
The Peripheral Nervous System Somatic Skeletal muscles and sensory organs Voluntary Autonomic Involuntary (self-governing) Viscera, heart and glands
Parasympathetic Vs. Sympathetic Sympathetic fight or flight Parasympathetic rest and repose
Sympathetic Response
Afferent vs. Efferent
The Brain And Its Parts
The Cerebrum -the largest portion of the brain, the area of consciousness, intellect and emotion, and skeletal motor movements The Cerebellum-second largest part of brain, controls co-ordination, balance, posture, muscle tone and complex movements
Brain Stem Continuous with the spinal cord midbrain (conducts impulses from the cerebrum to the pons and sensory impulses from the spinal cord to the thalamus as well as controls eye, head and neck movements in response to visual and auditory stimulus), pons varolli (relays impulses from one side of the cerebellum to the other and helps control breathing) medulla oblongata (conducts sensory and motor impulses between the brain and spinal cord, and controls respiration, cardiovascular impulses, digestive secretions, most vital functions). The medulla oblongata is the most inferior part of the brainstem Diencephalon thalamus (sends sensory info to appropriate areas of the cerebrum) hypothalamus (regulates ANS and endocrine system by controlling the pituitary gland, as well as circadian rhythm)
