| Structure of Nervous system | long, direct pathway (often same as tract) |
| multineuronal, multisynaptic, polysynaptic | structure of NS |
| presynaptic vs postsynaptic | neurons in pathways can be presynaptic to some neurons and postsyn to others |
| ganglion | in periphery |
| nucleus | in CNS |
| central, butterfly shaped cord region. contains cell bodies of neurons and glia, dendrites, axonal processes. appears gray due to lack of myelin | gray matter |
| surrounds gray matter. consists primarily of axons those with myelin give the color. these tracts connect regions of spinal cord or spinal cord with brain | white matter |
| sensory (afferent) input reaches cord via dorsal roots, which consist of the axons of sensory neurons | dorsal roots |
| contain cell bodies of the pseudounipolar sensory neurons | dorsal root ganglia |
| motor (efferent) output leaves the cord via ventral roots, which consist of the axons of motor neurons. | ventral roots |
| spinal nerves | formed by joining of dorsal and ventral roots |
| 31 pairs of spinal nerves divided into 5 groups | 1. cervical 2. thoracic 3. lumbar 4. sacral 5. coccygeal |
| cervical | hands and arms |
| thoracic | chest area body |
| lumbar | legs and feet |
| brainstem consists of? | medulla oblongota, pons, and midbrain |
| responsible for basic mech of life: reg of cardivas adn resp fx, sleep and wakefulness, posture and balance, etc | brainstem |
| relays and integrates formation from periphery to brain and vice versa | brainstem |
| nuclei of most cranial nerves are located here? | brainstem |
| central core of this is the reticular formation, involved in integrating information from all sensory modalities and affecting motor outflow. biogenic amine nuclei are located in the reticular formation | brainstem |
| coordinates ongoing movements, learns new movements | cerebellum |
| receives input from all muscles and other brain regions responsible for movement | cerebellum |
| 2 major components of the cerebellum | cortex and deep nuclei |
| near surface, output cells from here project mainly to the deep nuclei | cortex |
| deeper in cerebellum, neurons in these nuclei provide output from cerebellum | deep nuclei |
| Forebrain consists of? | cerebral hemisphere, cerebral cortex |
| Cerebral hemispheres | major divisions of the brain |
| outer shell of gray matter in each hemisphere, about 3 mm thick | cerebral cortex |
| consists of fiber bundles connect regions of cerebral cortex, and send information from cortex to other brain regions | cerebral cortex |
| connects 2 sides of cortex | corpus callosum |
| provide output from cortex, other neurons connect local regions of cortex | pyrimidal cells |
| Cortex divided into 4 lobes: | frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal |
| motor fx, personality | frontal lobe |
| sensory, touch, interprets motor input and output | parietal lobe |
| vision | occipital lobe |
| auditory and memory | temporal lobe |
| inputs to cortex arise from: | 1. thalamus 2. other regions of cortex 3. reticular formation |
| major integrating region of brain, and is the area that makes humans human | cortex |
| groups of cell bodies deep in within hemispheres; the most prominent are the basal ganglia | subcortical nuclei |
| caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus | basal ganglia |
| other nuclei associated with basal ganglia: | substantia nigra, subthalamic nucleus |
| traditionally known as regions that help control movements, these cell groups also are known to be involved with higher cortical functions, such as cognition | substantia nigra and subthalami nucleus |
| Diencephalon | thalamus and hypothalamus |
| major relay station to the cortex. most sensory and motor input from the body must relay through the thalamus before reaching the cortex. also is involved in arousal and attention | thalamus |
| this is the major endocrine center, and is responsible for controlling body homeostasis | hypothalamus |
| several structures contribute to this system which is responsible for emotional repsonses, learning and memory, and integration with autonomic responses to emotional stimuli | limbic system |
| c shaped structures | limbic system |
| brain consists of | cerebral ventricles, CSF, blood supply, blood brain barrier |
| right and left , deep in cortex, connected by foramen of Monro to 3rd ventricle | lateral ventricles |
| within the diencephalon connected by aqueduct of Sylvius in midbrain to 4th ventricle | 3rd ventricle |
| b/w cerebellum and brainstem (pons and medulla) | 4th ventricle |
| membranous coverings of the brain | meninges |
| thickest and toughest part of meninges adjacent to skull | dura mater |
| middle layer of meninges | arachnoid |
| adjacent to brain and spinal cord | pia mater |
| all 3 support the CNS | dura mater, arachnoid, pia mater |
| b/w arachnoid and pia, is where CSF circulates | subarachnoid space |
| part of lining of ventricles; appears fluid | choroid plexus |
| ependymal cells secrete CSF | choroid plexus |
| CSF circulates through ventricles and spinal cord, and eventually returns to blood via the arachnoid villi, which are structures that project from the arachnoid to venous sinuses; these work similar to lymphatic vessels | choroid plexus |
| brain receives about 15% of the total blood supply | blood brain barrier |
| CNS requires glucose to produce energy; short term lack of glc causes neuronal death | blood brain barrier |
| consists of endothelial cells of brain/spinal cord capillaries | blood brain barrier |
| prevents large molecules from entering extracellular fluid; protective effect | blood brain barrier |
| lipid soluble substances can cross, but not lipid insoluble substances | BBB |
| due to this many drugs can not cross the ? | bbb |
