Meninges
Connective tissue membrane that protects the Brain & Spinal Cord.
Made up of three layers:
pia mater
arachnoid mater
dura mater
Pia Mater
Innermost Layer- thin layer tha attaches tightly to the spinal cord
Arachnoid Mater
Fibrous middle layer of the meninges
Dura Mater
Outermost Layer: thick and tough/ resistant for protection
Subarachnoid
Layer that lies between the pia mater and the arachnoid mater
Subdural Space
Meninges layer that lies between the Dura Mater and Arachnoid Mater
Spinal Cord vs Brain Anatomy: White & Gray Matter
Spinal Cord: White Mater surrounds the Gray Matter
Brain: Gray Matter surrounds the White Matter
What gives gray matter it’s appearance ?
Grey matter contains clusters of cell bodies of neurons which gives it the color
Anterior vs Posterior Root Of Spinal Nerve
Anterior Root of Spinal Nerve = motor neurons (exits the anterior horn)
Posterior Root = sensory neurons (enters the posterior horn)
Spinal Nerve Structure
roots of the anterior and posterior join together
Posterior Root Ganglion & Bump: Sensory & Motor Neurons
- Bump is formed because a ton of sensory neuron bodies exist here
- Most motor neuron bodies are in the spinal cord
Gray Commisure
Connects two halves of the spinal cord
Central Canal of Spinal Cord
Opening between the gray commissure
Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) forms within the central canal
Reflex Definition
Quick, programmed, involuntary response to a stimulus
Reflex Arc Steps
- Stimulus
- Sensory Neuron (Afferent = towards/ in)
- Integrating Center (located w/n Grey Matter)- sensory communicates with motor
- Motor Neuron (Efferent= Exit)
- Effector (ie: muscle or gland) gets fired/ activated ie: smoke in the room casues lacrimal gland to cause tears
Monosynpatic Relfex
Direct synapse between sensory and motor
Polysynaptic Relfex
Complex circuit with interneurons in the integration center ie: extension or withdrawal reflex
Interneuron
Carry out more sophisticated process- allows for branched networks- more communication
Number of cranial nerve pairs
12
Cranial Nerve I
Olfactory= smell (sensory)
II
Optic - Vision (sensory)
III
Oculormotor (Motor): movement of eyeball, pupil constriction
IV
Trochlear (motor)- downward/ lateral movement of eye
V
Trigeminal (Motor & Sensory)- Masetter Motor Movement & Sensory of Face
VI
Abducens (motor) movement of eyeball laterally
VII
Facial (sensory and motor): front part of the tongue (sensory) and facial movements (motor)
VIII
Vestibulocochlear Nerve- hearing & balance
IX
Glossopharyngeal (sensory and motor) - taste for posterior third of tongue AND swallowing
X
Vagus (sensory and motor)- visceral organ (stomach, intestine, urinary, heart, respiratory)
XI
Accessory Nerve (Motor)- back, neck, head, shoulders- shrug shoulders or turn neck
XII
Hypoglossal (motor)- movement of tongue
3 Main Part of Brain
- Cerebrum
- Cerebellum
- Brainstem
Central Sulcus
separate frontal and parietal
Frontal Lobe Function
higher brain power (reasoning, logic, behavior, judge, prepare)
Parietal Lobe Function
Sensory
Lateral Sulcus
temporal, frontal, parietal separated
Parieto-occipital sulcus
separate parietal and occipital lobes
Fissures
Thicker/ Wider/ Deeper Grooves
Transverse Fissure
Separates Cerebrum and Cerebelum
Longitudinal Fissure
separate left and right hemispheres

H.XI- Accessory Nerve
A.XII.Hypoglossol Nerve
Structures found in third ventricle
Thalamus, Pineal Gland
CSF Function
Provides nutrients, oxygen, electrolytes to brain and spinal cord AND removes waste
CSF Flow in Ventricles
Flows downward through ventricles via cilia embedded in epidymal cells. Pressure differences also help assist in the flow of CSF
Pineal Gland Function
Produces Melatonin
Hypothalamus Function
Controller of the endocrine system
Cerebellum and Alcohol
Cerebellum is a responsible for balance of body and alcohol can distrupt its function
Brain Stem Parts
- midbrain
- Pons- largest part of brainstem
- Medulla Oblongata or Medulla
Superior Colliculus
Posterior bump of midbrain- involved in visual reflexes
Inferior Colliculus
Posterior bump of the midbrain- responsible for auditory reflexes
Choroid Plexus
Capillaries within the ventricles
Cerebral Acueduct
Small channel between the 3rd and 4th ventricles
Central Canal
Travels down from brain to spinal cord
Cerebellum: Structure & Function
Structure: has striations/ white lines called arbor vitae (white matter- nerve fibers or axons)
Function: regulates or coordinates movement and balance
