Peripheral nervous system
(PNS)consist of :
Cranial nerve ,spinal nerves autonomic
nervous system
Cells of the nervous system :
Neuronsare the structural and
functional units of the nervous system
Neuroglialcellwhich support and
nourishing the neurons.
Brain
is divided into three parts :
Forebrain
Midbrain
Hindbrain
The forebrain include:
Cerebrumand diencephalon.
The hindbrain consist of :
pons,medullaoblongata, and
cerebellum.
Cerebellum
Lies posterior to the pons and the
medulla oblongata.
It consists of two cerebellar
hemispheres
Cerebellar
Peduncles
Functions of the cerebellum
Co-ordination of movement
control of posture
Equilibrium

Ventricular System
Ventricles of the brain are cavities inside the
brain contain CSF.
Lateral ventricles in each cerebral hemisphere
Third ventricle between diencephalons
Fourth ventricle in hind brain
Spinal cord
Is situated within the vertebral
canalof the vertebral column
Begins superiorly from the
foramenmagnumin the skull,
where it is continuous with the
medullaoblongataof the brain
End in the adult at the level of
L1
Protection of the central nervous
system :
Skull ,vertebral column
Meninges
Cerebrospinal fluid
Peripheral Nervous
System
Spinal Nerves
Spinal nerves arise from the spinal cord and
attach to it by anterior root which is motor
and posterior root which is sensoryconnect
together form trunk of the spinal nerve mix
then give two rami anterior and posterior also
mix
31 pairs spinal nerve
8Cervical
12Thoracic
5Lumbar
5Sacral
1Coccygeal
X Vagus : give parasympathetic for
the Heart, larynx, trachea, bronchi,
and alimentary tract , liver, kidneys,
and pancreas
XI Accessory :
XII Hypoglossal:
A. Sympathetic
In the spinal cord from T1 –L2 segments(
thoracolumbar).
Preganglionic fiber short,and the postganglionic
fiber long.
autonomic nervous system
Consist of two part :
Sympathetic
“ Fight or flight”
response
Increases heart rate and
blood pressure,and
respiratory rate .
Vasoconstriction to the
blood vessels except?
Bronchodilatation
,decrease intestinal
motility,urination
.sweating
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Brain
Spinal
cord
SYMPATHETIC
Dilates pupil
Stimulates salivation
Relaxes bronchi
Accelerates heartbeat
Inhibits activity
Stimulates glucose
Secretion of adrenaline,
nonadrenaline
Relaxes bladder
Stimulates ejaculation
in male
Sympathetic
ganglia
Salivary
glands
Lungs
Heart
Stomach
Pancreas
Liver
Adrenal
gland
Kidney
B. Parasympathetic
Include nucleiof the cranial nerve in the
brainstem(3,5,7,9,10) and sacralspinal
nerve .
The preganglionic fibers longand the
postganglionic fibers short.
Parasympathetic
“ occur at Rest
Lowers rate ,
breathing rate,Bp
Stimulate intestinal
motility ,increase
the secretion of
gland
Bronchoconstrictio
n ,vasodiltation .

Constricts bronchi
Slows heartbeat
Stimulates activity
Contracts bladder
Stimulates erection
of sex organs
Stimulates gallbladder
Gallbladder
Contracts pupil
