  1. Chapter 14Part 1 The Brain and Cranial Nerves Lecture Outline

  2. INTRODUCTION • The brain is the center for registering sensations, correlating them with one another and with stored information, making decisions, and taking action. • It is also the center for intellect, emotions, behavior, and memory. • It also directs our behavior towards others. • In this chapter we will consider the principal parts of the brain, how the brain is protected and nourished, and how it is related to the spinal cord and to the 12 pairs of cranial nerves. Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  3. Chapter 14The Brain and Cranial Nerves • Largest organ in the body at almost 3 lb. • Brain functions in sensations, memory, emotions, decision making, behavior Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  4. OVERVIEW OF BRAIN ORGANIZATION AND BLOOD SUPPLY • The major parts of the brain are the brain stem, diencephalon, cerebrum, and cerebellum (Figure 14.1). • The CNS develops from an ectodermal neural tube • Three primary vesicles: prosencephalon, mesencephalon, and rhombencephalon develop from the neural tube. (Figure 14.29) • The embryologic development of the CNS is summarized in table 14.1 Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  5. Principal Parts of the Brain • Cerebrum • Diencephalon • thalamus & hypothalamus • Cerebellum • Brainstem • medulla, pons & midbrain Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  6. Blood Supply to Brain • Arterial blood supply is branches from circle of Willis on base of brain • Vessels on surface of brain----penetrate tissue • Uses 20% of our bodies oxygen & glucose needs • blood flow to an area increases with activity in that area • deprivation of O2 for 4 min does permanent injury • at that time, lysosome release enzymes • Blood-brain barrier (BBB) • protects cells from some toxins and pathogens • proteins & antibiotics can not pass but alcohol & anesthetics do • tight junctions seal together epithelial cells, continuous basement membrane, astrocyte processes covering capillaries Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  7. Blood Flow and the Blood-Brain Barrier • An interruption of blood flow for 1 or 2 minutes impairs neuronal function. • A total deprivation of oxygen for 4 minutes causes permanent injury. • Because carbohydrate storage in the brain is limited, the supply of glucose to the brain must be continuous. • Glucose deficiency may produce mental confusion, dizziness, convulsions, and unconsciousness. Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  8. BBB • A blood-brain barrier (BBB) protects brain cells from harmful substances and pathogens by serving as a selective barrier to prevent passage of many substances from the blood to the brain. • An injury to the brain due to trauma, inflammation, or toxins causes a breakdown of the BBB, permitting the passage of normally restricted substances into brain tissue. • The BBB may also prevent entry of drugs that could be used as therapy for brain cancer or other CNS disorders, so research is exploring ways to transport drugs past the BBB. Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

  9. Protective Covering of the Brain • The brain is protected by the cranial bones (Figure 7.4) and the cranial meninges (Figure 14.2). • The cranial meninges are continuous with the spinal meninges and are named dura mater, arachnoid, and pia mater. • Three extensions of the dura mater separate parts of the brain: the falx cerebri, falx cerebelli, and the tentorium cerebelli. Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e

The lateral ventricles are separated by the septum pellucidum. • The third ventricle is a narrow cavity along the midline superior to the hypothalamus and between the right and left halves of the thalamus. • The fourth ventricle is between the brain stem and the cerebellum.

  18. Hydrocephalus • Blockage of drainage of CSF (tumor, inflammation, developmental malformation, meningitis, hemorrhage or injury) • Continued production cause an increase in pressure --- hydrocephalus • In newborn or fetus, the fontanels allow this internal pressure to cause expansion of the skull and damage to the brain tissue • Neurosurgeon implants a drain shunting the CSF to the veins of the neck or the abdomen Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e
