Chapter 8
Central Nervous System
Edited by Dr. Ryan Lambert-Bellacov

CNS Functions
• CNS stands for central nervous system
• Communication and coordination system in the body
• Gives us personality
• Seat of intellect and reasoning

The Nerve Cell
• Called the neuron
• Nucleus, cytoplasm, and cell membrane
• Dendrites – received the signal
• Axons (only one per cell)– myelin sheath (how it conducts the signal

Nervous Tissue/Cells
• Neurons (different types)– Sensory = afferent
– Motor or efferent
– Associative or interneurons
• Membrane excitability

Synapse
• When messages go from one cell to the next cell
• Synaptic cleft
• Neurotransmitters

Divisions of the Nervous System
• Central nervous system– Brain
– Spinal cord
• Peripheral nervous system– 12 pairs of cranial nerves (coming out of the brain)
– Eyes, smell, ect…
– 31 pairs of spinal nerves
– Autonomic nervous system (fight or flight

Effects of Aging
• Slowing nerve conduction
• Loss of brain size
• Slowing of reaction time
• Changes in sleep patterns

The Brain
• Weighs about 1400 grams or 3 pounds
• 100 billion neurons
• Meninges (covering) and cerebrospinal fluid
• Without oxygen, brain damage occurs within 4-8 minutes

The Brain
• Cerebrum
• Diencephalon
• Cerebellum
• Brain stem

The Brain

Memory
• Storage of old and new information
• Role of the hippocampus
• Short or long term memory

Meninges =Coverings of the Brain
• Dura mater
• Arachnoid mater
• Pia mater

Ventricles of the Brain• Four lined cavities filled with cerebrospinal
fluid• 1st and 2nd
– Right and left lateral ventricles
• 3rd
– Connected to the lateral ventricles by the interventricular foramen

Ventricles of the Brain
• 4th
– Connected to the 3rd by the cerebral aqueduct

CSF
• Cerebral spinal fluid =CSF
• Formed inside the four ventricles
• Formation and flow of CSF (cerebrospinal fluid)
• Blood-brain barrier
• Lumbar puncture

Cerebrum
• Largest part of the brain
• Weighs about 2 pounds
• Cerebral cortex
• Two hemispheres and longitudinal fissure
• Fissures and sulci
• Gyri or convulutions
Edited by Dr. Ryan Lambert-Bellacov

Five Major Fissures
• Longitudinal fissure• Transverse fissure• Central fissure• Lateral fissure• Parieto-occipital fissure

Cerebral Functionsdepends on location
• Frontal lobe
• Parietal lobe
• Occipital lobe
• Temporal lobe
• Limbic lobe or system

Diencephalon
• Located between the cerebrum and the midbrain
• Thalamus
• Hypothalamus
Edited by Dr. Ryan Lambert-Bellacov
© 2009 Delmar, Cengage Learning
Hypothalamus
• Important part of homeostasis
• Autonomic nervous control
• Cardiovascular control
• Temperature control
• Appetite control
• Water balance
Edited by Dr. Ryan Lambert-Bellacov

Hypothalamus
• Manufacture of oxytocin
• Gastrointestinal control
• Emotional state
• Sleep control
• Mind-over-body experiences

Cerebellum
• Located behind the pons and below the cerebrum
Edited by Dr. Ryan Lambert-Bellacov
© 2009 Delmar, Cengage Learning
Cerebellar Function
• Located behind the pons and below the cerebrum
• Maintenance of balance
• Maintenance of muscle tone
• Coordination of muscle movements
Edited by Dr. Ryan Lambert-Bellacov

Brain Stem
• Midbrain
• Pons -breathing
• Medulla oblongata
• The cranial nerves 3-12 emerge
© 2009 Delmar, Cengage Learning
Spinal Cord
• Begins at foramen magnum of the occipital bone
• Ends at the second lumbar vertebrae
• 31 pairs of spinal nerves
• Protected by meninges and other tissues
• White and gray matter
• Functions
Edited by Dr. Ryan Lambert-Bellacov

• gray horns and the gray commissure form the “gray H.”
Columns” of white matter carry information either up or down the spinal cord
