INTRODUCTION Nervous system is divided Anatomically into: 1. Central Nervous System. 2. Peripheral Nervous System. Functionally it is divided into: 1. Somatic Nervous System . 2. Autonomic Nervous System .
1.Central nervous system 1.Brain and 2.spinal cord Parts of brain Forebrain or prosencephalon Midbrain or mesencephalon Hindbrain or rhombencephalon
INTRODUCTION Parts of hindbrain Pons Medulla oblongata Cerebellum
2.spinal cord Starts at foramen magnum and ends at L2 level.
2.Peripheral nervous system Twelve pairs of cranial nerves Thirty one pairs of spinal nerves Cervical – 8 Thoracic – 12 Lumbar – 5 Sacral – 5 Coccygeal – 1
Composition of a spinal nerve Sensory fibres Motor fibres Autonomic fibres
Peripheral nervous system Brain stem Cranial nerves Spinal cord
Coverings of the brain(Dap ) Dura mater---outermost Arachnoid mater--- middle S2 LEVEL Pia mater---innermost---- coccycx Also cover the spinal cord after passing through foramen magnum
Central sulcus parietoocipital sulcus Lateral sulcus
Cerebral lobes
AREAS IN THE CORTEX
Arteries of the brain
BLOOD SUPPLY OF CEREBRUM Ant cerebral Middle cerebral Post cerebral
Spinal cord Foramen magnum to lower border of L1 or upper border ofL2
COVERINGS OF THE SPINAL CORD DURA MATER ARACHNOID MATER PIA MATER
SECTION THROUGH VERTEBRAL COLUMN Vertebral body pedicle spine lamina Grey mater White mater
Blood supply Anterior and posterior spinal artery
Components of spinal nerve Ventral ramus and dorsal ramus Spinal nerve Divides into anterior and posterior rami Anterior --- -- body nerve plexus Posterior rami — sensory innervation to a skin segment known as a dermatome
Ventral Roots The ventral (motor) roots consist of efferent fibers that convey output from the spinal cord . There are two components: ( 1) innervate voluntary striated muscles , ( 2) influences to involuntary smooth muscles,cardiac muscle, and glands
Innervation by posterior ramus Dorsal spinal root Body region innervated C2 Occiput C4 Neck and upper shoulder T1 Upper thorax and inner side of arm T4 Nipple zone T10 Umbilical girdle zone L1 Inguinal region L4 Great toe, lateral thigh, and medial leg S3 Medial thigh S5 Perianal region
SECTION THROUGH SPINAL CORD
Autonomic nervous system Two parts Sympathetic Parasympathetic Functions of autonomic N S Involuntary Controls activities of heart, smooth muscles of GIT, blood vessels & glands
Neuron Smallest functional unit is neuron It consists of cell body and cell processes
Types of neuron Unipolar Bipolar Pseudo uni polar Multipolar
