CNS
• Brain
- largest and most complex part of NS
- composed of 2 cerebral hemispheres, the
diencephalon, the brain stem, & cerebellum
-houses about 100 billion motor neurons
• Spinal Cord
-communicates between CNS & PNS

Chapter 11
Nervous System II
Meninges
• membranes
surrounding CNS
• protect CNS
• three layers
• dura mater – outer,
tough, dense CT, BV’s
& nerves
• arachnoid mater –
thin, weblike, lacks
BV’s
• pia mater – inner,
very thin, has nerves &
BV’s, nourishes brain
& SC
3
Meningitis
• Inflammation of the meninges (usually
arachnoid and pia maters)
• Bacteria or virus invades CSF
• Complications includes loss of vision, loss
of hearing, paralysis, and mental retardation
• Can be fatal
4
Dura mater
• Extends inward b/w lobes of the brain and forms
supportive and protective partitions
• 1) Falx cerebelli-separates the L & R cerebellar
hemispheres
• 2) Falx cerebri-extends downward into the
longitudinal fissure, and separetes the L & R
cerebral hemispheres
• 3) Tentorium cerebelli-separates the occipital
lobes of the cerebrum from the cerebellum
5
Dura mater
• Also splits into two layers, forming
channels called dorsal sinuses
• Venous blood flows through the channels as
it returns from the brain to vessels leading
to the heart
6
Epidural Space
• Between bony walls of vertebra and dura
mater
• Contains BV’s, loose CT, and adipose that
pad the spinal cord
7
Subdural Hematoma
• Caused by a blow to the head
• Brain bleed-blood collects beneath the dura
mater and increases pressure
• Pressure must be relieved or compression of
the brain may lead to function loss or death
8
Subarachnoid space
• Between the arachnoid and pia maters
• Contains cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
9
Meninges of the Spinal Cord
10
Ventricles
• interconnected cavities
• within cerebral
hemispheres and brain
stem
• continuous with central
canal of spinal cord
• filled with cerebrospinal
fluid (CSF)
• 2 lateral ventricles largest
• third ventricle
• fourth ventricle
• cerebral aqueduct
11
Cerebrospinal Fluid
• secreted by choroid
plexus- specialized
capillaries from pia mater
• circulates in ventricles,
central canal of spinal
cord, and subarachnoid
space
• completely surrounds
brain and spinal cord
• clear liquid
• nutritive and protective
• helps maintain stable ion
concentrations in CNS
•Reabsorbed by arachnoid
granulations
12
Lumbar Puncture
• Also known as a spinal tap
• Measures CSF pressure
13
Spinal Cord
• slender column of
nervous tissue
continuous with brain
• extends downward
through vertebral
canal
• begins at level of
foramen magnum
and terminates near
first and second
lumbar
14
Structure of the Spinal Cord
• 31 segments-each gives rise to a pair of spinal
nerves (p.423)
• Cervical enlargement: in neck; gives rise to nerves
that are in the upper limbs
• Lumbar enlargement: gives off nerves to the lower
limbs
• Two grooves extend the length of the SC: anterior
median fissure & posterior median sulcus
15
Cross Section of Spinal Cord
16
Functions of Spinal Cord
Two main functions:
• center for spinal reflexes
• conduit for nerve impulses to and
from the brain
17
Reflex Arcs
Reflexes – automatic, subconscious responses to stimuli
within or outside the body; help maintain homeostasis
18
Reflex Arcs
19
General Components of a Spinal
Reflex
20

21
Reflex Behavior

22
Reflex Arc

to produce an opposite effect
23

motor neurons reaching muscles and glands
24

skeletal muscles-coordinate
& control posture
