Introducing
Vet. Neuroanatomy
Function of the nervous system
1. The nervous system coordinates and controls body activity.
2. Receive information (from ext./int. environment)
The space between two neurons or between a neuron and receptor is the synapseChemical substances calledneuro‐transmitters are released into the space to allow information to be relayed
A neuron may synapse on another neuron’s dendrites, cell body, or synaptic ending.

Bony protection of CNS
Vertebral column
The Discs (intervertebral discs)
The vertebrae are protected from each other by IVD
IVD are layers of fibrocartilage that form pads separating and cushioning the vertebrae from each other
The Discs (intervertebral discs)
Outer Annulus fibrosus
Central Nucleus pulposus
no innervation or possible that outer disc innervated
Avascular
Thicker in neck and lumbar regions
Thickest in coccygeal

Pia mater
Arachnoid
Dura mater
Meninges = membranes
3 membranes surround CNS
The spinal and cranial (cerebral) meninges are continues at the foramen magnum.
Denticulate ligaments
The pia mater is bilaterally thickened along the lateral surfaceof the spinal cord, Midway between successive spinal roots .
Extensions of the pia mater traverse the subarachnoid space,arachnoid mater and attach to the dura mater between thedorsal and ventral roots of spinal nerves.
Thus the denticulate ligaments suspend the SC laterally in theCSF within the subarachnoid space.
Arachnoid mater
Def.
Thin transparent Avascularmembrane between dura and pia
maters.
Shape: Spider‐web like appearance due to has numerous trabeculae & filaments.
It is pressed against the dura by CSF pressure.
Separated from pia by SubArachnoid Space (SAS), which is filled with (CSF).

Which layer of the meninges is present in the spinal cord but not in the brain?
Epidural space
Which one of the following statements concerning the meninges of the brain and spinal cord is true?
The arachnoid membrane is the finest, most delicate layer, reminiscent یذكرنا بشبكة العنكبوت of a spiderweb, that immediately surrounds the surface of the brain and spinal cord.
The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is contained in the subdural space of both the brain and spinal cord.
The superficial‐to‐deep sequence of the meninges on the brain is inverse to that of the spinal cord.
The meninges consist of three layers, which from superficial to deep are the dura mater, arachnoid membrane, and pia mater

Cauda Equina …. How it is formed?
in the Adult horse:
the cauda equina starts @ the lumbosacral junction.
the conus medullarisextends to S1
the filum terminaleextends to S4

Structures forming the Cauda Equina:
1‐ Conus medullaris
2‐ Filum terminale
3‐ Spinal nerves (that flank 1 and 2)
Lumbosacral portion of spinal cord

Which one of the following statements regardingthe spinal cord is true?
It contains nerve cell bodies within its white matter and axonal processes within its grey matter.
It extends the length of the vertebral canal.
It possesses neurons associated with the parasympathetic nervous system in the region of the intermediate horn.
It receives sensory neurons through the dorsal horn.

Cs spinal cord
Arrangement of gray and white matter in the spinal cord:
Model of sympathetic innervation. Preganglionic cells can synapse (A) on postganglioniccells a few segments cranial in the sympathetic trunk; (B) on a postganglionic cell at the segmentwhere the postganglionic fiber emerges; (C) on a postganglionic cell caudal in the sympathetictrunk; (D) the preganglionic cell can bypass the sympathetic trunk ganglia and synapse in the prevertebralganglia.
