11. LECTURE OBJECTIVES
• To understand the basic organization of
the main structure that form the nervous
system.
• To gain the Three-dimensional
appreciation of the parts of the brain and

13. NERVOUS SYSTEM
• A regulatory system of the body that
consists of neurons and neuroglial cells.
OR
• The body’s primary communication and
control system.
• Can be divided according to:
– Structural categories
– Functional categories.

14. Nervous System
Structural Organization
Structural subdivisions of the nervous system:
• Central nervous system (CNS)
– Brain and Spinal cord
• Peripheral nervous system (PNS)
– Cranial nerves (nerves that extend from the
brain)
– Spinal nerves (nerves that extend from the
spinal cord)
– ganglia (clusters of neuron cell bodies (somas)
located outside the CNS)

16. Nervous System
Functional Organization
Functional divisions of the nervous system:
• Sensory afferent division:
– receives sensory information (input) from
receptors
– transmits this information to the CNS.
• Motor efferent division:
– transmits motor impulses (output) from the
CNS
– to muscles or glands (effector organs).

22. Brain
• An adult brain weighs between 1.35 and
1.4 kilograms (kg) (around 3 pounds) and
has a volume of about 1200 cubic
centimeters (cc).
• Brain size is not directly correlated with
intelligence
• It is not the physical size of the brain that
determines intelligence—it is the number
of active synapses.
Abdul Ghafoor Sajjad Assistant

Rehabilitation Sciences
23. Support and Protection of the
Brain
• The brain is protected and isolated by multiple
structures:
1. Bony cranium
2. Meninges:
• Protective connective tissue membranes
• Surround and partition portions of the brain.
1. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
• acts as a cushioning fluid.
1. Blood-brain barrier:
• prevents entry of harmful materials from the
bloodstream.

28. Organization of Brain Tissue
• Gray matter:
– Motor neuron and interneuron cell bodies,
dendrites, axon terminals
– Unmyelinated axons.
• White matter:
– composed primarily of Myelinated axons.

32. FOREBRAIN
• Telencephalon: Cerebral Cortex, Basal
Ganglia.
• Diencephalon: Thalamus, Hypothalamus.
Abdul Ghafoor Sajjad Assistant

Rehabilitation Sciences
33. Cerebral Cortex
• The word "cortex" comes from the
Latin word for "bark" (of a tree).
• The thickness of the cerebral
cortex varies from 2 to 6 mm.
• The right and left sides of the cerebral
cortex are connected by a thick band of
nerve fibers called the "corpus
callosum.“Â
• bulge on the cortex is called gyrus and
a groove is called a sulcus.

36. Basal Ganglia
(Part Of Telencaphalon Of Forebrain)
Functions:
• Movement
• The basal ganglia are a group of
structures, including the Globus Pallidus,
Caudate Nucleus, Subthalamic Nucleus,
Putamen And Substantia Nigra, that are
important in coordinating movement.

38. Thalamus
(Part Of Diencephalon Of Forebrain)
Functions:
• Sensory processing
• The thalamus receives sensory
information and relays this information to
the cerebral cortex.
• The cerebral cortex also sends information
to the thalamus which then transmits this
information to other areas of the brain and
spinal cord.

40. Hypothalamus
(Part Of Diencephalon Of Forebrain)
Functions:
• Body Temperature (acts as a "thermostat")
• Emotions
• Hunger
• Thirst
• Circadian Rhythms

46. The Pons
The pons are situated on the anterior
surface of the cerebellum, inferior to the
mid brain and superior to the medulla
oblongata.

48. The Medulla Oblongata
• The medulla is the most inferior part of
the brain stem. The cell bodies of several
cranial nerves are found there.

50. Cerebellum
• The word "cerebellum" comes from the
Latin word for "little brain."
The cerebellum is located behind the brain
stem. In some ways, the cerebellum is
similar to the cerebral cortex: the
cerebellum is divided into hemispheres
and has a cortex that surrounds these
hemispheres.

53. Brain stem
• The brain stem is a general term for the
area of the brain between the thalamus
and spinal cord. Structures within the
brain stem include the Medulla, Pons,
Tectum, Reticular Formation And
Tegmentum. Some of these areas are
responsible for the most basic functions of
life such as breathing, heart rate and blood
pressure.
