What are the pars of the Brain?
A. Hindbrain:
1. RHOMBENCEPHALON (4th ventricle)
= Myelencephalon (MO) and
= Metencephalon (Pons+Cerebellum)
B. Midbrain
2. MESENCEPHALON
C. Forebrain
3. PROENCEPHALON
= DIENCEPHALON (3rd ventricle) and
= TELENCEPHALON
Other divisions: CEREBRUM CEREBELLUM BRAIN STEM = Medulla oblungata + bulb \+ Pons \+ Midbrain
Function of the BRAIN
Controll of organs
Regulation,
Co-ordination and
Integration of rest of nervous system
The position of the Brain?
Enclosed in the Cranial cavity
- rostral cavity (larger) -> CEREBRUM
tentorium Cerebelli
MENINGES of the BRAIN
Meninges = Soft tissue membranes enclosing CNS It has 3 layers(superf-deep) 1. DURA MATER (thick and fibrous) - Dura Mater ENCEPHALI - Dura Mater SPINALIS
MENINGES of the BRAIN
DURA MATER
Thick and fibrous
Devided into:
I: FALX CEREBRI from:
CRISTA Galli ->
INT. OCCIPITAL PROTUBERANTIA
II: TRANSVERSE TENTORIUM CEREBELLI
Btw CEREBRUM and CEREBELLUM
III: DIAPHRAGMA SELLAE
Separates HYPOTHALAMUS from Brain, in FOSSA HYPOPHYSEALIS
MENINGES of the BRAIN
ARACHINOIDEA
ARACHINOIDEA with CAVUM SUBARACHINOIDEA!
= Nerwork of TRaBECULaE + FILAMENT + CEReBRAL FLUID
CISTERNA:
MENINGES of the BRAIN
PIA MATER
ENCEPHALI and SpINALIS
STRUCTURES of Medulla Spinalis
From inside out:
1. GREY MATTER = Neural bodies + Glial cells + Neuron processes A. CANALIS CENTRALIS B. CORNU - Ventralis (EFFERENT MOTOR) - Lateralis - Dorsalis (AFFERENT SENSORY)
The reflex arch?
SENSORY:
AFFERENT from the muscle through FOR. iNTERVERTEBRAle to the Ggl SPINALiS to the Dorsal CORNU!
AFF MUSCLE - Ggl SPINALiS - Cornu dorsalis
MOTOR Cornu Ventralis - For. iNTeRVERtEBrAle - Muscle
SPINAL SEGMENT and formation of SPINAL NERVES
Spinal segment: Has 4 parts: 1. Pars Cervicalis - Cervical Spinal Nerves - INTERMENSCENTIA CERVICALIS - Plexus Brachialis
Spinal segment
