NEUROANATOMY by Dr.

NERVOUS SYSTEM
CNS - spinal cord and brain PNS - motor PNS and sensory PNS

fxn: Sensory Motor

collects and receive sensory A. Special senses A. Somatic motor
information specialized design by a specific part of the body responses/Voluntary
Integrates and process  Vision B. Involuntary/Autonomic motor
Generates motor response  Olfaction responses
 Taste
 Hearing Parasympathetic sympathetic
 Balance /Equilibrium -cochlear vestibular Increa.
when stress
B. General sensations
elicited by many parts of the body

Somatic visceral sensation

sensations
From superficial deep part
part of the body;
locomotor system
Eg. skin Eg. dull pain

Types:
a. Pain
b. Temp
c. Touch
d. Propriocepti
on - sense of
position

CNS
Forebrain/ Procephalon
Cerebral hemisphere
Teloncephalon telescope/outer
Diencephalon dianna/deepest
Midbrain/messencephalon
Hindbrain/Rhomban cephalon
Pons
Medulla
Spinal cord
Cerebral cortex - consciousnesses

TYPES of NV Cells
1. Neurons - conducts info, generates action potencial
2. Neuro-glial cells - supporting cell of NV

Gray matter
- collection of cell bodies of neurons in the NVS
A. Cortex- collected neural cell exposed on the surface of the brain
CEREBRAL cortex
CEREBELLUM cortex
B. Nucleus
Nuclei - small piece of GM embedded deeper part of the brain surrounded by WM
Basal nuclei - multiple pieces of GM in the deepest part of cerebral hemisphere/base of hemisphere

White matter
- collection of axons

A. TRACTS - collection of axon fiber; Cephalic-ally and Caudally

A. Ascending tacts
B. Descending tacts

B. Commissural fibers - right and left

Eg. Corpus collosum

C. Association fibers - Posterior and anteriorly

Reticular formation part of the brain stem where Gm and wm mixed or Cross
Grey matter centrally
WM outer

Nerves - collection of axons outside the NS

Motor nerves
Sensory nerves

White matter - collection axons within the NS

Schwann cell
Oligodendocyte tract
