activity 7 - brain & cranial nerves
TRANSCRIPT
Activity 7:Nervous System Histology, Brain, &
Cranial Nerves
Chapters 14 & 15 – McKinley et al., Human Anatomy, 4e.
Objectives:• Histology: Identify structures indicated on three different slides or
images of nervous system tissue. Some of these are also visible on the classroom model of a neuron.
• Human brain: Identify listed structures of the human brain on classroom models, the cranial meninges, and structures involved in cerebrospinal fluid circulation.
• Human brain: Identify the 12 pairs of cranial nerves by name and number on a model and on the sheep brain.
• Dissect a sheep brain and identify structures listed.

• Cerebral hemispheres are divided by the longitudinal fissure into left
and right sides
• Central sulcus divides the frontal lobe from parietal lobes

Frontal Lobe Parietal Lobe Occipital Lobe
Temporal Lobe
Brain Stem Cerebellum
• Primary Motor Cortex (Precentral Gyrus)
• Voluntary motor functions
• Concentration• Verbal
communication• Decision making• Planning• Personality
• Primary Somatosensory Cortex (Postcentral Gyrus)
• Sensory functions (Pain, heat and other sensations)
• Comprehension of language
• Primary Visual Cortex
• Processing visual information
• Storing visual memories
• Understanding Speech
• Interpretation and storage of auditory and olfactory sensations
• Breathing• Swallowing • Heart rate
Includes Midbrain, Pons, and Medulla Oblongata
• Coordination • Balance• Stores
memories of previously learned movement patterns
Brain Anatomy – Primary Somatosensory Cortex
22
The amount of cortex devoted to any given body region is proportional to how richly innervated that region is.

Brain Anatomy – Corpus Callosum
25
• Carries messages between the left and right hemispheres
• Its under surface forms the roof of the body of the lateral ventricle.
Brain Anatomy - Diencephalon
• Sits on top of the brain stem• Enclosed by the cerebral
hemispheres• Made of three parts
• Thalamus• Hypothalamus• Epithalamus
26
Brain Anatomy - Diencephalon
27
Brain Anatomy – Epithalamus & Pineal Gland
• Pineal gland is an endocrine gland that secretes the hormone Melatonin.
• Melatonin helps regulate day-night cycles known as the body’s Circadian Rhythm.
28
Brain Anatomy – Thalamus & the Interthalamic Adhesion
• The Interthalamic
Adhesion is
located midsagitally
and connects the
left and right
thalamic bodies
29
Brain Anatomy – Hypothalamus
30
Includes:• Mammillary
Body• Infundibulum• Pituitary Gland
• Optic Chiasm• Optic Tracts• 3rd Ventricle
Brain Anatomy – Functions of Hypothalamus
31
• Master control of the autonomic nervous system• Heart rate, blood pressure, digestive activities and respiration
• Master control of the endocrine system• Metabolism, growth, stress responses and reproduction
• Regulation of body temperature• Body’s “thermostat”, detects altered blood temperatures, heat or cool the body:
shivering/sweating
• Control of emotional behavior• Emotional responses: pleasure, aggression, fear, rage, contentment and sex drive
• Control of food intake• Monitors levels of glucose and amino acids in the blood and produces sensations
of hunger
• Control of water intake• Monitors blood solute concentration
• Regulation of sleep-wake rhythms• The Suprachiasmatic Nucleus directs the Pineal gland to secrete melatonin,
regulating circadian rhythms.
Brain Anatomy – Brain Stem
32
Includes:• Midbrain
(mesencephalon)• Pons• Medulla Oblongata
33
Brain Anatomy – Overview of Brain Stem Functions
Brain Anatomy – Midbrain
34
Includes:• Corpora Quadrigemina
(tectal plate)• Superior Colliculus:
Visual reflex center (turns eyes and head in response to visual stimulus)
• Inferior Colliculus:Auditory reflex center (turns eyes and head in the direction of a sound)
• Cerebral Peduncles
35
Brain Anatomy – Pons
Functions:• Bridge between the
cerebellum and cerebrum
• Houses cranial nerves• Trigeminal (CN V)• Abducens (CN VI)• Facial (CN VII)• Some of the nuclei for
Vestibulocochlear (CN VIII)
• Helps regulate skeletal muscles of breathing
36
Brain Anatomy – Medulla Oblongata
Functions:• Regulates heart rate
and strength of
contraction• Controls blood pressure• Regulates respiratory
rate• Involved in coughing,
sneezing, salivating,
swallowing, gagging
and vomiting
37
Brain Anatomy – Medulla Oblongata & Pons
38
Brain Anatomy – Medulla Oblongata & Pons
Brain Anatomy – Cerebellum
