The outer covering of the brain consists of bone and the outer covering of the spinal cord consists of vertebrae bones.
The inner coverings consist of THREE Layers called meninges.…we are going to talk about the three layers from outward in…

Arachnoid membrane
• The second layer of meninges in between the dura mater and pia mater.
• Only meninge which contains Cerebro spinal fluid (CSF)

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
• Another form of protection for the CNS
• Acts as a liquid cushion
• 140 mL of cerebro spinal fluid in the average human adult
![Page 8: CH 13. Reminder: Consists of…. the brain and spinal cord](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649ed95503460f94be812b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Made from blood plasma
• CSF can be found in…– Subarachnoid space– Central canal of the spinal cord– Ventricles within the brain
![Page 9: CH 13. Reminder: Consists of…. the brain and spinal cord](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649ed95503460f94be812b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Lumbar Puncture
• Withdrawal of cerebrospinal fluid from subarachnoid space (under arachnid and outside pia matter)
• Physician inserts a needle just above fourth vertebrate
• Cerebrospinal fluid can be tested for presence of blood or bacteria

Structure
• Dorsal nerve root- brings sensory information to spinal cord
• Ventral Nerve root- brings motor information to the spinal cord
FUNCTIONInclude colliculi which control visual and auditory centers of the brain
![Page 12: CH 13. Reminder: Consists of…. the brain and spinal cord](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649ed95503460f94be812b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Hydrocephalus• Interference with circulation of
cerbrospinal fluid.
• Example: brain tumor might press against brain, now allowing cerbraspinal fluid to drain.
• For an infant, a tube can be inserted to drain fluid since infant skull has not ossified. In adult, this is more problematic since skull will not yield.

• The brain is made up of …– Brainstem– Cerebellum– Cerebrum
![Page 15: CH 13. Reminder: Consists of…. the brain and spinal cord](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649ed95503460f94be812b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Brainstem• Consists of
– Medulla oblongata- connects the brain to the spinal cord and is in control of vital and control centers within the brain.
– Pons- charge of normal breathing rhythms– Midbrain- Include colliculi which control visual
and auditory centers of the brain
![Page 16: CH 13. Reminder: Consists of…. the brain and spinal cord](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649ed95503460f94be812b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Cerebellum • coordinates skilled movements, helps
control posture, and controls skeletal muscles for balance
![Page 17: CH 13. Reminder: Consists of…. the brain and spinal cord](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649ed95503460f94be812b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Cerebrum
• 60% of brain weight
• Left and right halves
• Wenicke’s area- comprehension of written
• Broca’s area- motor speech and articulation of words
• Consciousness
• memory
![Page 18: CH 13. Reminder: Consists of…. the brain and spinal cord](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649ed95503460f94be812b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Diseases of the CNS• Alzheimers- Demntia- lesions develop in brain in middle to late
adulthood. Cause unknown.• Huntingtons- dominant gene that causes body to make a protein
incorrectly which prevents normal function. Symptoms do not occur until late adulthood.
• Cerebral palsy- permanent, nonprogressive damange to motor control areas of brain at birth or shortly after
• Epilepsy- Chronic seizures caused by tumors or chemical imbalances
• MS- Myelin loss and destruction of oligodendrocytes (what are those again??) causing lack of coordination, visual impairment, and speech disturbance.

Chapter 14
Peripheral Nervous System
Now we talk about all the spinal nerves, cranial nerves, and the many smaller nerves that branch from these main nerves!
![Page 20: CH 13. Reminder: Consists of…. the brain and spinal cord](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649ed95503460f94be812b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Sensory (afferent) division– Sensory afferent fibers – carry impulses from skin,
skeletal muscles, and joints to the brain– Visceral afferent fibers – transmit impulses from
organs to the brain
• Motor (efferent) division – Transmits impulses from the CNS to effector organs
What are the divisions of the peripheral nervous system?

Spinal Nerve
Spinal nerves (31 pairs of them!) have no special names but are numbered according to level of vertebral column.
Roots lay within spinal cavity.
Ventral(Anterior)root(includes motor fibers)
Dorsal(Posterior)root(includes sensory fibers)
![Page 22: CH 13. Reminder: Consists of…. the brain and spinal cord](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649ed95503460f94be812b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cranial Nerves
There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves. The twelve pairs of nerves are assigned names
and numbers. They can be of three types:
-Sensory Cranial nerves- consist of sensory axons only.
-Motor Cranial nerves- consist of motor axons only.
-Mixed cranial nerves- Contain axons of sensory and motor neurons.

ReflexesReflexesA reflex is a predictable, involuntary response to a stimulus.
They produce the simplest behaviors. Ex. Removing hand from a hot object.
Occur over neural pathways called reflex arcs. 5 basic components: receptor, sensory neuron,
integration center, motor neuron, and effector
