Dura Mater: outermost, dense collagen fibers, attaches to periosteum of occipital bone and coccyx by coccygeal ligament. Surrounded by the epidural space which contains blood vessels and adipose 2. Arachnoid: middle, two layers: A. Arachnoid membrane: simple squamous epithelium, contacts dura mater B. Arachnoid trabeculae: collagen and elastin fibers that bind to pia mater, the fibers pass through the subarachnoid space which contains cerebrospinal fluid (CSF: for shock absorption and diffusion medium) 3. Pia mater: innermost, fine mesh of collagen and elastin fibers bound to neural tissue, attached to arachnoid trabeculae, has denticulate ligaments that extend through arachnoid to dura mater to prevent lateral movement of the cord All three layers are continuous with cranial meninges of the same name and the connective tissue around the spinal nerves Spinal Meninges Amy Warenda Czura, Ph.D. 4 SCCC BIO130 Chapter 13 Handout Sacral plexus: nerves L4 -S4, innervate lower limbs Lumbar plexus: nerves T12-L4, innervate pelvic girdle and lower limbs Brachial plexus: nerves C5-T1 , innervate pectoral girdle and upper limbs Cervical plexus: nerves C1-C5, innervate muscles of neck and diaphragm Nerve plexus = interwoven network of nerves Spinal Nerve Plexus 1. Epineurium: outermost layer, dense collagen fibers 2. Perineurium: partitions that extend inward from epineurium and divide axons into bundles called fascicles 3.Endoneurium: innermost layer, thin collagen fibers that surround each axon Nerve Structure: dorsal root + ventral root + blood vessels + connective tissue Neural Circuits divergence + serial processing (allow multiple things to occur at once) one neuron/pool to many (send single input to multiple locations in brain) stepwise, one neuron/pool to the next (allow linear transmission from one location to next) many neurons/pools to one (allow conscious and subconscious control of same effector) Amy Warenda Czura, Ph.D. positive feedback loop (continues signaling until inhibited by another neuron) 5 SCCC BIO130 Chapter 13 Handout Reflex Arc 1. Stimulus activates receptor -receptor = specialized cell or dendrites of sensory neuron -receptor responds to a particular type of stimuli 2. Sensory neuron is activated -stimulation causes action potential on axon of sensory neuron -nerve impulse travels into spinal cord via dorsal root 3. Information processing -simple case: sensory neuron synapses on motor neuron -more complex: sensory neuron synapses on an interneuron -sensory neuron causes EPSP which is integrated with other stimuli 4. Motor neuron is activated -motor neuron is stimulated to threshold -action potential travels down motor neuron axon to effector 5. Peripheral effector responds -neurotransmitters released by motor neuron trigger events in effector (e.g. muscle contraction) Reflex Classification 2 1 3 4 sensory → motor sensory → interneuron → motor Amy Warenda Czura, Ph.D. 6 SCCC BIO130 Chapter 13 Handout
