    The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. The brain relays messages, processes information, and analyzes information. It is protected by the skull and vertebrae as well as three protective layers called meninges. The spinal cord links the brain to the rest of the body and processes reflexes. The brain is divided into the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem. The cerebrum controls learning and senses. The cerebellum controls balance and muscle coordination. The brain stem connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls vital functions.

    Parts of CNS
    1. The Spinal Cord
    2. The Brain
    Protections
     Skull and Vertebrae
     3 protective layers called meninges
    1. Dura Mater (outer layer): consists of connective tissues,
    blood vessels, and nerves.
    2. Arachnoid Layer (middle layer): elastic and weblike
    3. Pia Mater (inner layer): contains nerves and blood
    vessels.
    4. Cerebrospinal fluid
     a clear watery liquid
     separates the middle and inner layers
     Acts as shock absorber
     exchange of nutrients between blood and nervous system

    The Brain
     The brain is the
    control center of the
    body
     It is about 2% of your
    body weight and
    uses 20% of your
    body’s oxygen
    Parts of the Brain
     Divided into three parts
     Cerebrum
     Cerebellum
     Brain Stem
    Cerebrum
    1. Largest part of the brain
    – Learning and Senses
     2 hemispheres- Right and Left
     Connected by the Corpus Callosum
     Right side controls- left side
     Left side controls – right side of body
     Four sections - LOBES
    1. Frontal Lobe 2. Parietal Lobe
    3. Occipital Lobe 4.Temporal Lobe
    Gray Matter vs. White Matter

     Gray Matter – Absence of myelin in


    masses of neurons accounts for the gray
    matter of the brain – Cerebral Cortex
     White Matter - Myelinated neurons gives
    neurons a white appearance – inner layer
    of cerebrum
    Cerebellum

     Second largest
     located below the
    cerebrum at back of
    skull
     This part is
    responsible for the
    balance and muscle
    coordination
    Brain Stem
     Connects the brain to spinal cord
     The Two Regions act as “switchboard”
     Medulla Oblongata – Controls heart rate,
    breathing rate, and flow of blood through
    the blood vessels.
     Pons – Relays signals between the
    cerebrum and the cerebellum
    Other Structures inside the Brain
     Thalamus – receives messages from
    sensory receptors; relays information to
    proper regions of cerebrum
     Hypothalamus - Regulates hunger, thirst,
    fatigue, anger, etc…
     Control of pituitary for endocrine function

    Meninges
    Spinal Cord
     Link between brain and rest of body (PNS)
     31 pairs of spinal nerves
     Reflexes processed directly by spinal cord
     Reflex – quick, automatic, unconscious
    responses
     Result of reflex arcs – shortest nerve pathways
