Glial Cells and CSF
Brainstem, Cerebellum and
Diencephalon

Glial Cell Types: Most of the brain is made up of cells that support
the nervous tissue
CNS
VENTRICLE
Ependymal
cell
PNS
Neuron
Astrocyte
Oligodendrocyte
Schwann cells
Microglial
cell
Capillary
(a) Glia in vertebrates
_________________________ produces myelin sheath
_________________________: maintains environment for nerve impulses,
blood brain barrier, provides nutrients, picks up excess NT
________________________: WBC of the brain
________________________: lines ventricles and makes CSF
Protection: Skull, Meninges and CSF:
~ 150 mL CSF in ventricles and
subarachnoid space

• CSF Circulation: lateral >
interventricular foramen >

4th
• Superior sagital sinus and
arachnoid villi
• Capillaries are different:

specialized capillary
network projecting from

into the ventricles of the
brain forming cerebral
spinal fluid (70% of CSF)
99% water, (glucose, aa,
salt, less density and
protein than plasma)

Cerebrum (includes cerebral cortex, white matter,
basal nuclei)
Diencephalon (thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus)
Midbrain (part of brainstem)
Pons (part of brainstem), cerebellum
Medulla oblongata (part of brainstem)
Diencephalon:
Cerebrum
Hypothalamus
Thalamus
Pineal gland

BRAINSTEM: ____________, _______________,____________
___________________________; w/ pyramidal tracts,
• * CV & Vasomotor center VITAL CENTERS
•top of the spine, two bulges of white matter = pyramids (pyramid
tracts)
•All ascending sensory and descending motor tracts
VITAL CENTERS (CV and Vasomotor center)
Cardiovascular center (rate/force of heart) diameter =
_______________
Respiratory center: adjust basic rhythm of breathing
Reflex: vomit, cough, sneeze, swallow
Reticular formation: gray matter from spine to thalamus
Keeps _______________________________________
Reflex centers:
____________________________________________
12 pairs of cranial nerves
_______ w/ Reticular formation is a relay pathway between
the motor cortex and the cerebellum also functions as
a *pneumotaxic center *houses cranial nerves: trigeminal,
abducens, and facial.
Respiration center
Reflex w cranial nerves 5-8, eye, chewing, facial expression,
taste, equilibrium

Righting reflexes
Superior colliculi: visual
reflex center
Inferior colliculi: auditory
reflex center

pigmented neurons in motor fxn
and produces the precursor for
the neurotransmitter

(pink)important for acting as a
relay between motor cortex
and muscles of the limbs for
limb flexion;

______________: coordination of skeletal muscle movements
Some cognitive function in predicting motor movements
Fine coordination: 3 main functions

___________
__________________________________________ nuclei axons connect
hypothalamus, thalamus, cerebellum and spinal cord to send sensory
information to keep the cortex alert and conscious ALSO acts as a filter for
sensory input to the cortex…filters out 99% of sensory input as
unimportant. Has to be inhibited in order to sleep
