GLANDS
Endocrine glands are glands that
secrete their product (hormones)
directly into the blood rather than
through a duct. This group contains
the glands of the Endocrine system.
The main Endocrine glands include
the pituitary gland, the pancreas, the
gonads, the thyroid gland and the
adrenal glands. Other organs which
are not so well known for their
endocrine activity include the stomach,
which produces such hormones as
ghrelin.

-Basal-ganglia (posture)
The basal ganglia (or basal nuclei) are a

brainstem. Mammalian basal ganglia are
associated with a variety of functions:
motor control, cognition, emotions and
learning.

STRUCTURES
Corpus Callosum
-vast nerve tracts
-Allow communication between the (2) hemispheres
The corpus callosum is a structure of the
mammalian brain in the longitudinal fissure
that connects the left and right cerebral
hemispheres. It is the largest white matter
structure in the brain, consisting of 200-250
million contralateral axonal projections. It is
a wide, flat bundle of axons beneath the
cortex. Much of the inter-hemispheric
communication in the brain is conducted
across the corpus callosum.

CEREBRAL VASCULAR SYSTEM
-Thin and weak, have no valves.
-Allows blood to flow in either direction, this is a problem
because it may create a route for blood-borne-pathogens to
pass from the body to the brain and the brain to the body….
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a membranic structure that
acts primarily to protect the brain from chemicals in the blood,
while still allowing essential metabolic function. It is composed of
endothelial cells, which are packed very tightly in brain capillaries.
This higher density restricts passage of substances from the
bloodstream much more than endothelial cells in capillaries
elsewhere in the body. Astrocyte cell projections called astrocytic
feet (also known as "glial limitans") surround the endothelial cells
of the BBB, providing biochemical support to those cells. The
BBB is distinct from the similar blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier, a
function of the choroidal cells of the choroid plexus.

Nerves
Numbered from anterior to posterior,
according to their attachment to the
brain…All have specific functions;
touch, smell, sight, hearing, etc…..
Cranial nerves are nerves that emerge
directly from the brain in contrast to spinal
nerves which emerge from segments of the
spinal cord. Although thirteen cranial
nerves in humans fit this description,
twelve are conventionally recognized. The
nerves from the third onward arise from the
brain stem.
Olfactory Nerve (CN1) – “Smell” (18-20) small nerve bundles.
Optic Nerve (CN2) – “Sight” arise from optic retina.
Oculomotor Nerve (CN3) – “moves eye” emerges from midbrain.
Trochlear Nerve (CN4) – “muscle” controls sup. orbital muscle.
Trigeminal Nerve (CN5) – “sensory” (3) divisions, ophthalmic,
maxillary and mandibular.
Abducens Nerve (CN6) – “motor impulses” lat. movement of eye.
Facial Nerve (CN7) – “taste” facial nerves and 2/3 of the tongue.
Vestibulocochlear Nerve (CN8) – “sound” picks up sounds &
interrupts.
Glossopharyngeal Nerve (CN9) – “motor” impulses, monitors
blood.
VagusNerve (CN10) – “stimulates” pharynx, larynx, thoracic &
abdomen viscera.
Accessory Nerve (CN11) - “stimulates” pharynx, palatine &
larynx.
Hypoglossal Nerve (CN12) -“muscle” muscle of tongue.
