Vestibulocochlear Hearing and Balance Cranial Nerves IX. Glassopharyngeal Sensation of tongue and muscles used in swallowing III. Oculomotor nerve Eye movement/pupils X. Vagus Nerve Autonomic functions glands, digestion and heart. IV. Trochlear Eye Movement XI. Spinal Accessory Muscles controlling head movement V. Trigeminal Nerve Somatosensory..head and neck/muscles for chewing XII. Hypoglossal Nerve Muscles of the tongue VI. Abducens nerve Eye movement

  18. Divisions of the spinal cord The are five divisions of the spinal cord, corresponding to the different groups of vertebrae: Cervical: 7 vertebrae (C1-C7) Thoracic: 12 vertebrae (T1-T12) Lumbar: 5 vertebrae (L1-L5) Sacral: 5 (fused) vertebrae (S1-S5) Coccygeal: 3-5 (fused) vertebrae (Tailbone)   Note that although there are seven cervical vertebrae (C1-C7), there are eight cervical nerves (C1-C8). In the diagram to the right, the cervical nerves are the ones labeled and the vertebra are shown in between. Spinal Cord Source: http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/S/spinal_cord.html

  24. The Brain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UukcdU258A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMKc8nfPATI A song for you…..la la la la la la la la la la laaaaaaaaa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYwOtTMUz0c

  25. 4 Main parts of the Brain • The brain stem • Cerebellum • Limbic System • Cerebrum

  26. The brain stem

  27. Medulla oblongata: Heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure The brain stem Pons: Connects Cerebellum to the rest of the CNS and controls head movement in response to sight and sound Midbrain: (mesenencephalon)Connects the cerebrum and cerebellum to the rest of the CNS and is the reflex-center for vision, sound and touch

  28. Cerebellum Responsible for muscle coordination Muscle tone Balance (ear and body position)

  29. Cerebellum Smooth, coordinated and precise movement Essential in motor learning …..building muscle memory.

  30. The limbic system, often referred to as the "emotional brain", is found buried within the cerebrum. Like the cerebellum, evolutionarily the structure is rather old. The Limbic System

  31. Components of the Limbic system • Thalamus • Hypothalamus • Amygdala • Hippocampus. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDlDirzOSI8 The Limbic System

  32. Thalamus The Limbic System A midline symmetrical structure of two halves, within the vertebrate brain, situated between the cerebral cortex and the midbrain. Some of its functions are the relaying of sensory and motor signals to the cerebral cortex,

  33. 2. Hypothalamus The hypothalamus is a section of the brain responsible for hormone production. These hormones control body temperature, thirst, hunger, sleep, circadian rhythm, moods, sex drive, and the release of other hormones in the body. This area of the brain controls the pituitary gland and other glands in the body. The Limbic System Regulates ANS Fight/Flight Rest/Digest Homeostasis

  34. 2. Hypothalamus The Limbic System

  35. Amygdala • The amygdala is involved in several functions of the body including: • Arousal • Autonomic Responses Associated with Fear • Emotional Responses • Hormonal Secretions • Memory The Limbic System

  36. 4. Hippocampus The Limbic System Hippocampus- the portion of the cerebral hemispheres in basal medial part of the temporal lobe. This part of the brain is important for learning and memory . . . for converting short term memory to more permanent memory, and for recalling spatial relationships in the world about us

  37. Areas of the brain • The brain is composed of Cerebral Hemispheres,

  38. Areas of the brain • These two hemispheres are connected by the a mass of connective tissue called the Corpus Callosum

  39. 5 Main parts of the Brain Cerebrum Largest part of brain 4 lobes Frontal Parietal Temporal Occipital

  40. cerebrum/cerebral hemispheres • Different parts of the brain can be stimulated electrically to see which muscles in the body respond • Conversely different parts of the body can be stimulated to see which parts of the brain show electrical activity. • More recently MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) has been used in brain study

  41. Areas of the cerebrum

  42. Areas of the cerebrum

  43. The areas can be split into 3 groups Sensory Areas Motor Areas Association Areas

  44. Association Motor Sensory Sensory area for impulses from eyes

  45. cerebrum/cerebral hemispheres • Sensory areas of the cerebral hemispheres receive impulses from sense organs and transmit them to the association areas • The association areas of the cerebral hemispheres receive impulses - interpret them in the light of similar past experiences and transmit impulses to motor areas….

  46. cerebrum/cerebral hemispheres Close your eyes….what’s this……??

  47. cerebrum/cerebral hemispheres • The motor areas transmit impulses to the effectors • The size of the sensory and motor areas is related to the number of receptors in that area • The left and right cerebral hemispheres control the opposite sides of the body

  48. Sensory Homunculus

  49. Mapping of the sensory & motor areas to the body
