Objectives:
The Brain
(Dural sinus :
venous return)
(Thin and
delicate layer)
The Neuron
Transmit impulses to neuron cell
body (AFFERENT PROCESS)
(EFFERENT PROCESS)
(regeneration of nerves
fibers)
(white matter)
The Neuron
Conducting
nerve impulses.
They are highly specialized and
amitotic (lack of centrioles).
Each neuron has 3 basic parts :
- Cell body
- One or more dendrites
- A single axon
The Neuroglia
Neuroglia
Cerebrum
Medulla Oblongata
Pons
Midbrain
Relays motor impulses from the cerebral
cortex to the pons and sensory impulses
from the spinal cord to the thalamus.
Superior colliculi coordinate movements of
the eyeballs in response to visual and other
stimuli (visual reflex center).
Inferior colliculi coordinates movements of
the head and trunk in response to auditory
stimuli.(auditory reflex center)
Contains nuclei of origin for cranial nerves
III and IV.
Cerebellum
Compares
Hypothalamus
Controls and integrates activities of the
autonomic nervous system and pituitary
gland---maintain homeostasis
Regulates emotional and behavioral
patterns and circadian rhythms.
Controls body temperature and regulates
eating and drinking behavior.
Helps maintain the walking state and
establish pattern of sleep.
Thalamus
Relays
cortex.
Provides crude perception of touch,
pressure, pain, and temperature.
Includes nuclei involved in voluntary
motor actions and arousal; anterior
nucleus functions in emotions and
memory.
Also function in cognitive and
awareness.
