Activity 7:
Nervous System Histology, Brain, &
Cranial Nerves
Chapters 14 & 15 – McKinley et al., Human Anatomy, 4e.
Objectives:
• Histology: Identify structures indicated on three different
slides or images of nervous system tissue. Some of these are
also visible on the classroom model of a neuron.
• Human brain: Identify listed structures of the human brain on
classroom models, the cranial meninges, and structures
involved in cerebrospinal fluid circulation.
• Human brain: Identify the 12 pairs of cranial nerves by name
and number on a model and on the sheep brain.
• Dissect a sheep brain and identify structures listed.

Brain Anatomy – Primary Somatosensory Cortex
The amount of cortex devoted to any given body region is
proportional to how richly innervated that region is.

Brain Anatomy – Corpus Callosum
• Carries messages between the
left and right hemispheres
• Its under surface forms the roof of
the body of the lateral ventricle.
25
Brain Anatomy - Diencephalon
• Sits on top of the brain stem
• Enclosed by the cerebral
hemispheres
• Made of three parts
• Thalamus
• Hypothalamus
• Epithalamus
26
Brain Anatomy - Diencephalon
27
Brain Anatomy – Epithalamus & Pineal Gland
• Pineal gland is an
endocrine gland that
secretes the hormone
Melatonin.
• Melatonin helps
regulate day-night
cycles known as the
body’s Circadian
Rhythm.
28
Brain Anatomy – Thalamus & the Interthalamic Adhesion
• The Interthalamic
Adhesion is
located midsagitally
and connects the
left and right
thalamic bodies
29
Brain Anatomy – Hypothalamus
Includes:
• Mammillary
Body
• Infundibulum
• Pituitary Gland
• Optic Chiasm
• Optic Tracts
• 3rd Ventricle
30
Brain Anatomy – Functions of Hypothalamus
• Master control of the autonomic nervous system
• Heart rate, blood pressure, digestive activities and respiration
• Master control of the endocrine system
• Metabolism, growth, stress responses and reproduction
• Regulation of body temperature
• Body’s “thermostat”, detects altered blood temperatures, heat or cool
the body: shivering/sweating
• Control of emotional behavior
• Emotional responses: pleasure, aggression, fear, rage, contentment
and sex drive
• Control of food intake
• Monitors levels of glucose and amino acids in the blood and
produces sensations of hunger
• Control of water intake
• Monitors blood solute concentration
• Regulation of sleep-wake rhythms
• The Suprachiasmatic Nucleus directs the Pineal gland to secrete
melatonin, regulating circadian rhythms.
31
Brain Anatomy – Brain Stem
Includes:
• Midbrain
(mesencephalon)
• Pons
• Medulla Oblongata
32
Brain Anatomy – Overview of Brain Stem Functions
33
Brain Anatomy – Midbrain
Includes:
• Corpora Quadrigemina
(tectal plate)
• Superior Colliculus:
Visual reflex center
(turns eyes and head
in response to visual
stimulus)
• Inferior Colliculus:
Auditory reflex center
(turns eyes and head
in the direction of a
sound)
• Cerebral Peduncles
34
Brain Anatomy – Pons
Functions:
• Bridge between the
cerebellum and
cerebrum
• Houses cranial nerves
• Trigeminal (CN V)
• Abducens (CN VI)
• Facial (CN VII)
• Some of the nuclei for
Vestibulocochlear (CN
VIII)
• Helps regulate skeletal
muscles of breathing
35
Brain Anatomy – Medulla Oblongata
Functions:
• Regulates heart rate
and strength of
contraction
• Controls blood pressure
• Regulates respiratory
rate
• Involved in coughing,
sneezing, salivating,
swallowing, gagging
and vomiting
