CHAPTER 3 Structure of the Nervous System Directions in the Nervous System Anterior/Rostral = Front Posterior/Caudal = Back Dorsal = Top Ventral = Bottom Lateral = Toward the side Medial = Toward the midline Ipsilateral= Same side Contralateral= Opposite side Fig. 3.1 Coronal Fig. 3.2 Brain Slices and Planes Coronal *Cross Section or *Frontal Section Transverse section at right angles to the neuraxis. Sagittal Fig. 3.2 Brain Slices and Planes Sagittal Section • • Section parallel to neuraxis and perpendicular to the ground. Midsagittal Plane – special type of sagittal section through the corpus callosum separating the hemispheres. Horizontal Fig. 3.2 Brain Slices and Planes Horizontal Section Section made through the brain parallel to the ground. Meninges The MENINGES Meninges Dura Mater – tough, flexible outermost layer. Arachnoid Membrane – middle layer of the meninges. Subarachnoid Space – space between arachnoid membrane and pia mater filled with CSF. Pia Mater – last layer of the meninges, which adheres to the surface of the brain. Figure 3.6 Figure 3.4 Obstructive hydrocephalus The Ventricular System CSF surround the brain (protection) Four ventricles (lateral-2, third and fourth connected by cerebral aqueduct) Choroid plexus- produces CSF (125 ml/day) Arachnoid granulations: absorb CSF Development of the CNS Begins around 18th day after conception A patch of tissue on the dorsal surface of the embryo becomes the neural plate Development of the CNS Neural plate folds to form the neural groove Figure 3.7 Development of the CNS The neural groove then fuses to form the neural tube… Walls of the neural tube become the CNS Neural crest becomes the PNS Figure 3.7 Figure 3.8 Brain Development Early and later development of the human nervous system Cellular Development Totipotent – earliest cells have the ability to become any type of body cell Stem cells Multipotent – with development, neural plate cells are limited to becoming one of the range of mature nervous system cells Progenitor cells Migration of Neurons Once cells have been created through cell division in the ventricular zone of the neural tube, they migrate Migrating cells are immature, lacking axons and dendrites Inside-out migration Progenitor cells have limited capacity to replicate First Step: Symmetrical Division Progenitor -> progenitor Increases the size of the ventricular zone Figure 3.10 Second: Asymmetrical Division •development where a progenitor cell divides into one progenitor cell and one brain cell Asymmetrical division (7 weeks after conception) First produces radial glia Cell bodies of RG in the VZ and processes extend to the pia Guide the migration of new neurons (neurogenesis) Ends after 3 months Cellular Development and Migration Cajal-Retzius cells Develop after radial glia Migrate to just inside the pia (Layer 1) Orderly migration: Build on each successive layer All end up below C-R Anatomical Subdivisions Anatomy Basics Major Division Ventricle Subdivision Principle Structures Lateral Telencephalon Third Diencephalon Cerebral aqueduct Mesencephalon Fourth Metencephalon Forebrain Midbrain Hindbrain Myelencephalon Cerebral cortex Basal ganglia Limbic System Thalamus Hypothalamus Tectum Tegmentum Cerebellum Pons Medulla oblongata The Forebrain Largest section of the brain, comprised of the: Telencephalon Cerebral hemispheres Cerebral Cortex Limbic System Basal Ganglia Diencephalon Thalamus Hypothalamus Figure 3.8 The Forebrain – contains most of the cerebrum. Telencephalon 1. Figure 3.8 Cerebral Cortex – thin, wrinkled layer of tissue covering the brain consisting of sulci (groove), fissures (big groove), and gyri (convolution). Frontal Lobe Parietal Lobe Temporal Lobe Occipital Lobe Figure 3.16 The Forebrain Figure 3.16 Telencephalon Primary cortices Visual cortex Auditory cortex Somatosensory cortex Motor cortex Association Figure 3.15 cortices Associated with all primary cortices Figure 3.16 Limbic System 2. Limbic System – set of structures involved in learning, memory, and emotion. Major structures of the limbic system include: Limbic Cortex (cingulate!) Hippocampus Amygdala Fornix Mammillary Bodies (part of the hypothalamus) Figure 3.19 Basal Ganglia 3. Basal Ganglia – set of structures involved in processing information for motor movement. Major structures of the basal ganglia motor system include: Caudate Nucleus Putamen Globus Pallidus Figure 3.20 Forebrain: The Diencephalon Thalamus and hypothalamus Thalamus: Dorsal diencephalon Two lobes connected by the massa intermedia Many nuclei LGN MGN Cerebellum->VLN-> motor Figure 3.8 Forebrain: The Diencephalon Hypothalamus Below thalamus Many nuclei Many diverse behaviours Endocrine- Pituitary Figure 3.21 Hypothalamus regulates the autonomic nervous system, controlling the pituitary gland, and integrating species-typical behaviors. Hypothalamic Portal System Endocrine system Hormones are secreted from the hypothalamus through the venous portal system to anterior pituitary These stimulate hormone release from AP Can control other glands or the hormones are the messengers AP- ‘master gland’ Gonadotropin-releasing hormone causes the anterior pituitary gland to secrete gonadotropic hormones, which play a role in reproductive physiology and behavior Hypothalamus also releases hormones in the posterior pituitary oxytocin - stimulates milk ejection and uterine contractions during childbirth Vasopressin - regulates urine output by the kidneys The Midbrain Also known as the mesencephalon and is comprised of the tectum and tegmentum. Tectum (roof) – contains the superior (vision) and inferior (auditory) colliculi (singular is colliculus). Figure 3.8 Tegmentum (floor) – contains the periaqueductal gray matter, reticular formation, red nucleus, and substantia nigra all of which share a role in motor movement. Figure 3.23c and d The Hindbrain The Hindbrain Contains both the metencephalon and the myelencephalon. Figure 3.8 The Hindbrain – a structure comprised of the cerebellum and the pons. Metencephalon Cerebellum – appears as a mini brain and is involved in motor coordination. Pons – contains part of the reticular formation and is involved in sleep and arousal. Figure 3.23 The Hindbrain – contains the medulla oblongata containing portions of the reticular formation Myelencephalon Is involved in basic life functions, such as respiration and regulation of the cardiovascular system. Figure 3.23 The Central Nervous System The Spinal Cord Function: distribute motor fibers to the effector organs of the body (glands and muscles) and to collect somatosensory information to be passed on to the brain Protected by the vertebral column Composed vertebrae of 24 individual Primary Components of the Spinal Cord Spinal Roots – a bundle of axons surrounded by connective tissue that occur in pairs, which fuse and form a spinal nerve Dorsal Roots – the spinal roots that contain incoming (afferent) sensory fibers Ventral Roots - the spinal roots that contain outgoing (efferent) motor fibers The Peripheral Nervous System Somatic Nervous System Portion of the PNS comprised of the spinal nerves and cranial nerves involved in transmitting sensory information and controlling voluntary movement. Spinal Nerves Cranial Nerves Peripheral nerves attached to the spinal cord. Set of 12 motor and/or sensory nerves attached to the ventral surface of the brain. The Autonomic Nervous System Portion of the PNS concerned with the regulation of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands The Autonomic Nervous System Sympathetic Division of the ANS Nervous system components involved in arousal and preparing the body for the expenditure of energy. ‘Fight or flight’ Parasympathetic Division of the ANS Nervous system components involved in relaxing the body, often competing with those of the sympathetic division. ‘rest and digest’
