1.1A - STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM – FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY
A List the different parts of the nervous system.
Classify the NS according to morphology and physiology.
Describe the general function of the NS.
Describe the functional unit of the NS.
List the different cell types in the CNS.
Explain the source supply of blood to the brain.
Explain the source and function of CSF
Central nervous system (CNS) = brain and spinal cord
Peripheral nervous system (PNS) = Cranial and spinal nerves
Direction of flow of information
- Afferent (sensory) = Nerves transmit impulses TOWARDS brain and SC
- Efferent (motor) = Nerves transmit impulses AWAY from brain and SC
Histology
Grey matter = nerve cell bodies
White matter = nerve cell processes and
myelin sheaths
Somatic (voluntary) = Voluntary cations
such as movement
Visceral (automatic) = Modulation of
cardiac function and digestion
