1
Anatomy of the Nervous System Central nervous system (CNS) Brain Spinal cord Peripheral nervous system (PNS) Nerve outside the brain and spinal cord
3
The 12 pairs of cranial nerves
4
Spinal Nerves 31 pairs
5
Spinal Nerves
6
Dorsal ramus
8
Ventral ramus
10
The segmental innervation of anterior surface of trunk
11
PNS Throughout Life Embryonic muscles migrate to new locations Some skin dermatomes become displaced Muscles and skin always retain their original nerve supply
12
Spinal nerve plexus
13
The Cervical Plexus Deep in the neck under the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Formed by ventral rami of first 4 cervical nerves (C 1 – C 4 ) Most are cutaneous nerves Phrenic nerve – major nerve
14
The Cervical Plexus
15
(C5 -T1)
17
Brachial plexus main branches Axillary: shoulder (Deltoid) Musculocutaneous: Flexors in arm Radial: Extensors in arm and forearm Median: Flexors in forearm Ulnar: Flexors in forearm and hand
18
Lumbar Plexus

Sacral Plexus

24
Innervation of the Skin: Dermatomes Dermatome – an area of skin Innervated by cutaneous branches of a single spinal nerve Upper limb – skin is supplied by nerves of the brachial plexus Lower limb: Lumbar nerves – anterior surface Sacral nerves – posterior surface
25
Posterior Map of Dermatomes Anterior
26
Autonomic Nervous System General visceral motor part of the PNS Has 2 divisions (with opposite effects): - Parasympathetic: ‘housekeeping’ activities (rest and digest) - Sympathetic: extreme situations (fight or flight)
