The Central Nervous System (CNS) consists of:  The spinal cord Integrates and processes information Can function with the brain Can function independently of the brain  The brain Integrates and processes information Can function with the spinal cord Can function independently of the spinal cord

Features of the Spinal Cord  45 cm in length Passes through the Foramen Magnum  Extends from the brain to L1

Transverse view:  White matter  Gray matter  Central canal  Dorsal root and ventral root: merge to form a spinal nerve  Dorsal root is sensory: axons extend from the soma within the dorsal root ganglion  Ventral root is motor

Features Consist of:  Sensory nerves : transmit impulses toward the spinal cord  Motor nerves : transmit impulses away from the spinal cord

Spinal Meninges  Specialized membranes that provide protection, physical stability, and shock absorption  Denticulate ligaments help anchor the spinal cord in position

Sectional Anatomy of the Spinal Cord  Gray matter Central canal Consists of somas (cell bodies) surrounding the central canal  White matter Consists of axons Nerves are organized into tracts or columns Located outside the gray matter area

Peripheral Nerves  Epineurium: outer layer – becomes continuous with the dura mater  Perineurium: layer surrounding a fascicle – a fascicle is a bundle of axons  Endoneurium: layer surrounding a single axon

The Cervical Plexus (C1–C5) Consists of cutaneous and muscular branches Cutaneous branch innervates: Head,Neck, Chest

The Brachial Plexus (C–T1)  The immediate nerves emerging from C5 to T1 are the:  Superior trunk Middle trunk Inferior trunk

Lumbar Plexuses  T12- L4

Thoracic Plexus  T1-T12

Lumbar Plexuses  T12- L4

Sacral Plexus  L5-S4

Vertebrae Anatomy  Vertebrae Body  Drum shape body that bears weight and compression  Vertebrae Arch  Provides space and protection for spinal cord  Accessory Processes  Allows for muscle attachment

Intervertebral Discs  Each vertebrae is separated and cushioned by intervertebral discs.  Keeps the bones from rubbing together
