Central Nervous System
-
Parts Of The Brain
Diencephalon
Hypothalamus
- controls regulation eating and drinking and controls body temperature
Limbic System
- emotional aspects of behavior and aids in memory, the pleasure center
Thalamus
- surrounded by the third pentricle, relay station for sensory impulses to cerebral cortex, and plays a role in emotions, memory, awareness and cognition
Pituitary Gland
- hangs down anterior portion of the hypothalamus
Spinal Cord & Brain Stem
Pons
- connects spinal cord with brain and links parts of brain with one another by way of tracts(nerve fibers within the CNS) and aid in control of breathing
Medulla Oblongata
-
Respiratory Center
- rate and depth of breathing
-
- other center coordinate swallowing, sneezing, and hiccuping
Midbrain
Cerebral Peduncles
- "little feet of cerebrum"
Corpora Quadrigemina
- reflex center for movement in responce to sound and visual stimuli
Reticular Formation
- responsible for maintaining consciousness and awakening from sleep
Cerebrum
-
Transverse Fissure
- separates cerebrum and cerebellum
Longitudinal Fissure
- separates brain into right and left cerebral hemispheres
Cerebral Cortex
- dark outer area consists of gray matter; contains cell bodies of 75% of all neurons is the nervous system
Cerebellum
Cerebellur Peduncles
- connects cerebellum to other parts of brain
Vermis
- "worm" shaped structure between the cerebellar hemispheres
- white matter tracts are called "ardor vitae" tree of life, coordination, balance and posture, damage would show less of muscle tone and inaccurate
-
-
-
Cerebrum Lobes
-
-
Frontal Lobe
Primary Motor Cortex
- controls voluntary actions of specific muscles or groups of muscles on the opposite side of body
Broca's Area
- coordinates muscle movements for speech
-
Association Area
- concerned with more complex integrative functions, such as memory, emotions, reasoning will, judgement, and intelligence
-
Meninges Layers
Arachnoid Mater
- spider web-like collagen and elastic fiber and thin membrane that lacks blood vessels
Subdural Space
- fluid frilled area between dura and subarachnoid maters
Pia Meter
- innermost, nearly transparent layer; has many nerves and blood vessels and follows contours of brain and spinal cord
Subarachnoid Space
- area between arachnoid and pia mater; filled with cerebrospinal
Dura Mater
- outer most layer, dense, irregular C.T. with many blood vessels and nerves, attached to periosteum
-
-
-
Neuroglia
CNS
Astrocytes
- star shape cells with many processes, hold neurons close to blood vessels, and help from the blood-brain barrier
Oligodendrocytes
- most common and from the myelin sheath for neurons of CNS
Microglia
- small, have fewer process, and are phogocytes and protect the CNS by phagocytizing microbes and clearing away debris from inflammation and tissue damage
Ependymal Cells
- form the cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) and also assist in its circulation
PNS
Schwann Cells
- supply myalin sheathes to axons in the PNS and also aids in the regrath of damaged peripheral axons
Satellite Cells
- flattened cells found around cell bodies of neurons in ganglia
- Ganglia= bunched up cells bodies in PNS
- act in support, guiding development, and stimulation and maintenance
Action Potential
- Strong enough stimulation or nerve impulse causes Na+ gates to open=> Na+ rush into cell causing depolarization(membrane potential goes toward 0V or umpolarized, and momentarily becomes positively charged)
- If a strong enough, depolarization occurs, threshold potential is reached(+30) and impulse is sent down axon.
- Nerves impulse is transmitted during action potential
- K+ rush out of neuron after Na+ rush in, which causes a repolarization of the membrane back to resting potential
Drugs of Abuse
Heroine
- drugs related to heroin is used as painkillers
Marijuana
- known to be involved in removing unnecessary short term memories and responsible for slowing down movement, making us feel relaxed and calm
Cocaine
- active in reward pathway and the part of the brain controlling voluntary movements
Methampetamine
- making the user feel intense pleasure and exhilaration
LSD
- responsible for feeling of wakefulness and evoking a startle response to unexpected stimulus
Alcohol
- affects areas of the brain involved in memory formation, decision making and impulse control
Ecstasy
- affects serotonin pathways responsible for mood, sleep, perception, and appetite
