Microglial cells - phagocytosis
Oligodendrocytes – form myelin
Astrocytes – provide nutrients, aid metabolism, structural supportrespond to brain injury by filling in spaces.
Ependymal cells – line ventricles, form choroid plexuses
Schwann cells – form myelin in PNS

Classification of Neuronsgrouped two ways:
1- structural differences(bipolar, unipolar, and multipolarneurons),
2- functional differences(sensory neurons, interneurons, and motorneurons).

MeningesMembranes that surround the brain and spinal cordbetween bone and soft tissues.
1- Dura mater: outermost, is made of tough, white, dense connective tissue, contains many blood vessels.
forms the inner periosteum of skull bones.In some areas, forms partitions between lobes of the brainin others, forms dural sinuses.
33 34
arachnoid mater,
Middle membrane, thin & lacks blood vessels.
does not follow convolutions of brain.
subarachnoid space: between arachnoid and pia maters contains cerebrospinal fluid.
35
Pia Matter: Innermost

Structure of the Spinal Cord31 segments, each gives rise to a pair of spinal nerves.
cervical enlargement gives riseto nerves leading to the upperlimbs,
lumbar enlargement gives rise to thoseinnervating the lower limbs.
41
3. Two deep longitudinal grooves (anterior median fissure and posterior median sulcus) divide the cord into right and left halves.
4. White matter, made up of bundlesof myelinated nerve fibers (nervetracts), surrounds a butterfly-shaped core of gray matterhousing interneurons.
5. A central canal containscerebrospinal fluid.
42
Functions of the Spinal Cordtwo major functions:
transmit impulses to and from the brain house spinal reflexes.

BrainA. The brain is the largest, most complex
portion of the nervous system, containing 100 billion multipolar neurons.
B. can be divided into the cerebrum (largest portion and associated with higher mental functions), the diencephalon (processes sensory input), the cerebellum (coordinates muscular activity), and the brain stem (coordinates and regulates visceral activities).

Cerebrum1. largest portion of the mature brain, consistingof two cerebral hemispheres.

4. The lobes are named according to the bones they underlie and include the frontallobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe, and the insula.
5. A thin layer of gray matter, thecerebral cortex, lies on theoutside of the cerebrum andcontains 75% of the cell bodies inthe nervous system.

Functions of the Cerebrum
1. provides higher brain functions, such as interpretation of sensory input, initiating voluntary muscular movements, memory, and integrating information for reasoning.

Hemisphere Dominance
a. Both cerebral hemispheres function inreceiving and analyzing sensory inputand sending motor impulses to theopposite side of the body.
b. Most people exhibit hemispheredominance for the language-relatedactivities of speech, writing, andreading.

51
c. The left hemisphere is dominant in 90% of the population, although some individuals have the right hemisphere as dominant, and others show equal dominance in both hemispheres.
d. The non-dominant hemispherespecializes in nonverbal functions andcontrols emotions and intuitivethinking.

Diencephalon
1. The diencephalon lies above thebrain stem and contains thethalamus and hypothalamus.
2. The thalamus functions in sortingand directing sensory informationarriving from other parts of thenervous system, performing theservices of both messenger andeditor.

53
3. The hypothalamus maintains homeostasis by: regulating heart rate and arterial blood pressure, body temperature, water and electrolyte balance, hunger and body weight, movements and secretions of the digestive tract, growth and reproduction, and sleep and wakefulness.

Brain Stem
1. consists of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata. lies at the base of the cerebrum, and connects the brain to the spinal cord.

Midbraina. located between
the diencephalon and pons,contains bundles of myelinatednerve fibers that convey impulsesto and from higher parts of thebrain, and masses of gray matterthat serve as reflex centers.
b. contains centers forauditory and visual reflexes.

Pons
a. lies between the midbrain and medulla oblongata, transmits impulses between the brain and spinal cord, and contains centers that regulate the rate and depth of breathing.

58
Medulla Oblongata
a. transmits all ascending and descending impulses between the brain and spinal cord.

Cerebellum
1. The cerebellum is made up oftwo hemispheres connectedby a vermis.
2. The cerebellum functions tointegrate sensory informationabout the position of body partsand coordinates skeletal muscleactivity and maintains posture.

Peripheral Nervous SystemA. The peripheral nervous system (PNS)
consists of the cranial and spinal nervesthat arise from the central nervoussystem and travel to the remainder ofthe body.
B. The PNS is made up of the somaticnervous system that oversees voluntaryactivities, and the autonomic nervoussystem that controls involuntaryactivities.

C. Cranial Nerves1. Twelve pairs of cranial nerves
arise from the underside of thebrain, most of which are mixednerves.

D. Spinal Nerves1. Thirty-one pairs of mixed nerves
make up the spinal nerves.2. Spinal nerves are grouped
according to the level from whichthey arise and are numbered insequence, beginning with those inthe cervical region.
3. Each spinal nerve arises from tworoots: a dorsal, or sensory, root,and a ventral, or motor, root.

Autonomic Nervous SystemA. maintains homeostasis of visceral activities
without conscious effort.
B. General Characteristics
1. two divisions: sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions, exert opposing effects on target organs.
parasympathetic operates under normalconditions.
sympathetic operates under conditions of stress or emergency.
69
Autonomic Nerve Fibers
motor pathways include two fibers:
preganglionic fiber that leaves the CNSpostganglionic fiber that innervates the
effector.
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.
70
Sympathetic Division
Fibers arise from the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord, and synapse in paravertebral ganglia close to the vertebral column. Postganglionic axons lead to an effector organ.

71 72
Parasympathetic Division
Fibers arise from the brainstemand sacral region of the spinal cord, and synapse in ganglia close to the effector organ.

73 74
Autonomic Neurotransmitters
Preganglionic fibers of both sympathetic andparasympathetic divisions release acetylcholine.
Parasympathetic postganglionic fibers are cholinergic fibers and release acetylcholine.
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.
75
Sympathetic postganglionic fibers are adrenergic and release norepinephrine.
The effects of these two divisions, based on the effects of releasing different neurotransmitters to the effector, are generally antagonistic.
Determine what action some of your organs would have if they were sympathetically stimulated verses parasympathetically stimulated. (Ex. What happens in the pancreas? Blood vessels? Intestines?)

Control of Autonomic Activity
largely controlled by reflex centers in the brain and spinal cord.
The limbic system and cerebral cortex alter the reactions of the autonomic nervous system through emotional influence.
