Anatomy of the Spinal Cord

Spinal Nerves At 31 places along the spinal cord the dorsal and ventral roots come together to form spinal nerves. Spinal nerves contain both sensory and motor fibers, as do most nerves. Spinal nerves are given numbers which indicate the portion of the vertebral column in which they arise. There are 8 cervical (C1-C8), 12 thoracics (T1-T12), 5 lumbar (L1-L5), 5 sacral (S1-S5), and 1 coccygeal nerve. Nerve C1 arises between the cranium and atlas (1st cervical vertebra) and C8 arises between the 7th cervical and 1st thoracic vertebra. All the others arise below the respective vertebra or former vertebra in the case of the sacrum. Since the actual cord ends at the second lumbar vertebra, the later roots arise close together on the cord and travel downward to exit at the appropriate point. These nerve roots are called the cauda equina because of their resemblance to a horses tail.

Anatomy of the Spinal Cord

Spinal Cord Extends from foramen magnum to second lumbar vertebra

Spinal nerves join together in plexuses
Spinal nerves join together in plexuses. A plexus is an interconnection of fibers which form new combinations as the "named" or peripheral nerves. There are four voluntary plexuses (there are also some autonomic plexuses): 1. The cervical plexus, 2. The brachial plexus, 3. The lumbar plexus, and the 4. The sacral plexus. Each plexus gives rise to new combinations of fibers as the peripheral nerves.

Plexus Intermingling of nerve fibers from more than one source
Spinal nerve = of different spinal nerves Cervical Brachial Lumbar Sacral Autonomic = of different autonomic fibers

Plexuses Cervical Plexus-the phrenic nerve travels through the thorax to innervate the diaphragm. Brachial Plexus- Axillary nerve-innervates the deltoid muscle and shoulder, along with the posterior aspect of the upper arm. Musculocutaneous nerve- innervates anterior skin of upper arm and elbow flexors.･Radial nerve - innervates dorsal aspect of the arm and extensors of the elbow, wrist, and fingers, abduction of thumb.･Median nerve - innervates the middle elbow, wrist and finger flexors, adducts the thumb.･Ulnar nerve - innervates the medial aspect wrist and finger flexors. Lumbar Plexus-genitofemoral-to the external genitalia･obturator-to the adductor muscles. femoral-innervates the skin and muscles of upper thigh, including the quadriceps. Sacral Plexus gluteal nerves (superior and inferior) - superior innervates the gluteus medius and minimus, inferior innervates the gluteus maximus.･sciatic nerve - the body's largest nerve, consisting of two major branches, the tibial and common peroneal. Together they innervate most all of leg including the flexors of the knee, part of adductor magnus, muscles for plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, and other movements of the foot and toes.

The Meninges The meninges are layers of tissue that separate the skull and the brain. Skull Dura mater Arachnoid Layer Pia Mater Brain

Cerebrum Functions of cerebrum
Biggest part of brain, divided into two hemispheres Contra lateral control Outer surface is grey due to cells Internally white due to fibers Surface is folded to increase the area Functions of cerebrum Intellect, memory, will power, imagination, emotion & other psychological functions Receive and perceive the stimuli To give command for reaction with the help of past experience To control over other parts of nervous system

The Cerebrum The largest portion of the brain is the cerebrum. It consists of two hemispheres that are connected together at the corpus callosum. The cerebrum is often divided into five lobes that are responsible for different brain functions. Corpus callosum

The Cerebrum Neocortex The cerebrum’s surface—the neocortex—is convoluted into hundreds of folds. The neocortex is where all the higher brain functions take place.

Lobes of the Cerebrum Limbic Lobe Frontal Lobe Parietal Lobe
Occipital Lobe Temporal Lobe

Thalamus Thalamus means “inner room” in Greek, as it sits deep in the brain at the top of the brainstem. The thalamus is called the gateway to the cerebral cortex, as nearly all sensory inputs pass through it to the higher levels of the brain.

Hypothalamus The hypothalamus sits under the thalamus at the top of the brainstem. Although the hypothalamus is small, it controls many critical bodily functions: Controls autonomic nervous system Center for emotional response and behavior Regulates body temperature Regulates food intake Regulates water balance and thirst Controls sleep-wake cycles Controls endocrine system The hypothalamus is shaded blue. The pituitary gland extends from the hypothalamus.

Mid brain Functions of mid brain
Underneath the cerebrum and above pons Functions of mid brain To control involuntary functions

Cerebellum Functions of cerebellum
Situated below and behind the cerebrum Functions of cerebellum Controls tone muscles Helps coordination of body movements Helps balancing the body

Cerebellum The cerebellum is connected to the brainstem, and is the center for body movement and balance. Click image to play or pause video

The Brainstem The brainstem is the most primitive part of the brain and controls the basic functions of life: breathing, heart rate, swallowing, reflexes to sight or sound, sweating, blood pressure, sleep, and balance. The brainstem can be divided into three major sections. Detailed brainstem anatomy. Click image to play or pause video

Brainstem Divisions Midbrain Pons Medulla Oblongata

The Medulla Oblongata The medulla oblongata merges seamlessly with the spinal cord and creates the base of the brainstem. The medulla is primarily a control center for vital involuntary reflexes such as swallowing, vomiting, sneezing, coughing, and regulation of cardiovascular and respiratory activity. The medulla is also the origin of many cranial nerves.

Functions of Medulla oblongata
Pons Below mid brain Functions of pons Control of consciousness Control level of concentration Medulla oblongata Lowest part of CNS just above the spinal cord Functions of Medulla oblongata Control of respiration Control of circulation Control of swallowing and vomiting

The Pons The pons is the rounded brainstem region between the midbrain and the medulla oblongata. In fact, pons means “bridge” in Latin. The main function of the pons is to connect the cerebellum to the rest of the brain and to modify the respiratory output of the medulla. The pons is the origin of several cranial nerves.

The Ventricles The ventricles are a complex series of spaces and tunnels through the center of the brain. The ventricles secrete cerebrospinal fluid, which suspends the brain in the skull. The ventricles also provide a route for chemical messengers that are widely distributed through the central nervous system. Click image to play or pause video

Cerebrospinal Fluid Cerebrospinal fluid is a colorless liquid that bathes the brain and spine. It is formed within the ventricles of the brain, and it circulates throughout the central nervous system. Cerebrospinal fluid fills the ventricles and meninges, allowing the brain to “float” within the skull. Click image to play or pause video

Brain Functions Vision Taste Cognition Emotion Speech Language Hearing
Motor Cortex Sensory Cortex Autonomic Functions

Vision The visual cortex resides in the occipital lobe of the brain.
Sensory impulses travel from the eyes via the optic nerve to the visual cortex. Damage to the visual cortex can result in blindness.

Speech Broca’s Area Broca’s area is where we formulate speech and the area of the brain that sends motor instructions to the motor cortex. Injury to Broca’s area can cause difficulty in speaking. The individual may know what words he or she wishes to speak, but will be unable to do so.

Language Auditory Association Area
Wernicke’s area is a specialized portion of the parietal lobe that recognizes and understands written and spoken language. Wernicke’s area surrounds the auditory association area. Damage to this part of the brain can result in someone hearing speech, but not understanding it. Wernicke’s Area

Hearing There are two auditory areas of the brain:
The primary auditory area (brown circle) is what detects sounds that are transmitted from the ear. It is located in the sensory cortex. The auditory association area (purple circle) is the part of the brain that is used to recognize the sounds as speech, music, or noise.

Points to Remember Cranial nerves are part of the peripheral nervous system. Carry sensory or motor information or a combination and function in parasympathetic nervous system. Cranial nerves I, II and VIII are purely sensory. Cranial nerves III, IV, VI, XI and XII are motor (although also function for proprioception).
