14-1 The Brain
•  The Brain
•  The brain is a large, delicate mass of neural tissue
•  Containing internal passageways and chambers
filled with cerebrospinal fluid
•  Each of the six major brain regions has specific
functions
•  Ascending from the medulla oblongata to the
cerebrum, brain functions become more complex
and variable
•  Conscious thought and intelligence
•  Are produced in the neural cortex of the cerebral
hemispheres

14-2 Brain Protection and Support
•  Physical Protection of the Brain
•  Bones of the cranium
•  Cranial meninges
•  Cerebrospinal fluid
•  Biochemical Isolation
•  Blood–brain barrier

14-2 Brain Protection and Support
•  Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)
•  Surrounds all exposed surfaces of CNS
•  Interchanges with interstitial fluid of brain
•  Functions of CSF
•  Cushions delicate neural structures
•  Supports brain
•  Transports nutrients, chemical messengers, and
waste products
© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
14-2 Brain Protection and Support
•  Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)
•  Choroid plexus
•  Specialized ependymal cells and capillaries
•  Secrete CSF into ventricles
•  Remove waste products from CSF

The CSF circulates from the
choroid plexuses through the
ventricles and fills the central
canal of the spinal cord. As it
circulates, materials diffuse
between the CSF and the
interstitial fluid of the CNS
across the ependymal cells.

The CSF reaches the subarachnoid space through two
lateral apertures and a single
median aperture in the roof
of the fourth ventricle.

Fingerlike extensions of the arachnoid membrane,
called the arachnoid villi, penetrate the meningeal layer
of the dura mater and extend into the superior sagittal
sinus. In adults, these extensions form large arachnoid
granulations. CSF is absorbed into the venous
circulation at the arachnoid granulations.
