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.

OVERVIEW: 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

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.

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.

CEREBROSPINAL FLUID
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless liquid that protects the brain and spinal cord against chemical and physical injuries.
Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e
12
Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)
80-150 ml (3-5oz) Clear liquid containing glucose, proteins, &
ions Functions
mechanical protection floats brain & softens impact with bony walls
chemical protection optimal ionic concentrations for action potentials
circulation nutrients and waste products to and from
bloodstream
Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e
13
Ventricles
There are four CSF filled cavities within the brain called ventricles (Figure 14.3). A lateral ventricle is located in each
hemisphere of the cerebrum. 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.

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

Thalamus
The thalamus is located superior to the midbrain and contains nuclei that serve as relay stations for all sensory impulses, except smell, to the cerebral cortex (Figure 14.9). seven major groups of thalamic nuclei on each side
(Figure 14.9 c and d). They are the Anterior nucleus, medial nuclei, lateral
group, ventral group, intralaminar nuclei, midline nucleus, and the reticular nucleus.
It also registers conscious recognition of pain and temperature and some awareness of light touch and pressure.
It plays an essential role in awareness and the acquisition of knowledge (cognition.)

Hypothalamus The hypothalamus
inferior to the thalamus, has four major regions (mammillary, tuberal, supraoptic, and preoptic)
controls many body activities, and is one of the major regulators of homeostasis (Figure 14.10).
The hypothalamus has a great number of functions. It controls the ANS. It produces hormones. It functions in regulation of emotional and behavioral
patterns. It regulates eating and drinking through the feeding center,
satiety center, and thirst center. It aids in controlling body temperature. It regulates circadian rhythms and states of consciousness.

Hypothalamus
Dozen or so nuclei in 4 major regions mammillary bodies are relay station for olfactory reflexes;

Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e
51
Epithalamus
The epithalamus lies superior and posterior to the thalamus and contains the pineal gland and the habenular nuclei (Figure 14.7). The pineal gland secretes melatonin to
influence diurnal cycles in conjunction with the hypothalamus.
The habenular nuclei (Figure 14.7a) are involved in olfaction, especially emotional responses to odors.

Subthalamus
The subthalamus lies immediately inferior to the thalamus and includes tracts and the paired subthalamic nuclei, which connect to motor areas of the cerebrum. The subthalamic nuclei and red nucleus and
substantia nigra of the midbrain work together with the basal ganglia, cerebellum, and cerebrum in control of body movements.
Table 14.2 summarizes the functions of the parts of the diencephalon.
Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e
54
Circumventricular Organs
Parts of the diencephalon, called circumventricular organs (CVOs), can monitor chemical changes in the blood because they lack a blood-brain barrier.
CVOs include part of the hypothalamus, the pineal gland, the pituitary gland, and a few other nearby structures.
They function to coordinate homeostatic activities of the endocrine and nervous systems.
They are also thought to be the site of entry into the brain of HIV.
Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 11e
55
THE CEREBRUM
The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain . The surface layer, the cerebral cortex, is 2-4 mm thick
and is composed of gray matter. The cortex contains billions of neurons.
The cortex contains gyri (convolutions), deep grooves called fissures, and shallower sulci. (Figure 14.11a)
Beneath the cortex lies the cerebral white matter, tracts that connect parts of the brain with itself and other parts of the nervous system.
The cerebrum is nearly separated into right and left halves, called hemispheres, by the longitudinal fissure. Internally it remains connected by the corpus callosum, a
bundle of transverse white fibers. Figure 14.12)
