Largest most complex mass of nervous tissue Divisions of the Brain: Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Brain Stem Other structures: thalamus, hypothalamus, pituitary gland, meninges Brain
Slide 6-

Brain
Slide 7-

Largest part of the brain divided into left and right hemispheres One more dominant than the other, connected by Corpus Callosum Cerebral Cortex- outer layer of grey matter (unmyelinated) Cerebral Medulla-white matter (myelinated) 4 Distinct Lobes of Cerebrum Frontal, Parietal, Temporal, Occipital Interprets Sensory Impulses, Controls Voluntary Muscles, Memory, Thought, Reasoning Cerebrum
Slide 8-

Functional Areas of the Cerebrum
Slide 9-

Controls posture and fine muscle control Cerebellum
Slide 10-

3 layers of protection of brain and spinal cord Outermost to inner Dura matter Arachoid Pia matter Meninges
Slide 11-

Brain Stem
Slide 12-

Consists of: 1) Midbrain Just below cerebellum Connects cerebrum to lower brain centers 2) Pons Located between Mid brain and Medulla Conduction network between spinal cord and brain Part of respiratory center Brain Stem

Slide 19-

Receives 16% of total cardiac output and utilizes 20% of total oxygen consumption Supplied through carotid arteries 10 sec reserve of oxygen Brain relies on a constant supply of glucose as well as oxygen Prolonged hypoglycemia can result in brain death Blood supply drained by jugular veins Blood Supply to Brain
Slide 20-

Broken into Somatic and Autonomic 1) Somatic Nervous System Conscious control (willed movements) Somatic nerves are in two groups: spinal and cranial nerves Spinal Nerves 31 pairs of spinal nerves Peripheral Nervous System
Slide 21-

Cranial Nerves 12 Cranial Nerves 2) Autonomic Sympathetic Parasympathetic Peripheral Nervous System

1) Transmission of nerve impulses 2) Interpretation 3) Storage (memory) Functions of Nervous Tissue
Slide 23-

Interconnected Functions: 1. Receptors Nerve endings that respond to environmental stimulus 2. Sensory Input Transmit information into command center 3. Integration Center Interprets signal and formulates response 4. Motor Output Transmits response to periphery 5. Effectors Performs commands from integration center 1 2 3 4 5 Nervous System Function
Slide 24-

Relay impulses from various areas of the body to spinal cord and brain Send messages from brain and spinal cord to all compartments of the body Neurons
Slide 25-

Afferent (sensory): carry impulses toward brain and spinal cord from tissues and organs Efferent (motor): carry impulses away from brain and spinal cord Interneurons: exclusive to brain and spinal cord are inter or association neurons Divided into 2 Types
Slide 26-

Spinal Nerve Neuron Types
Slide 27-

Anatomy of the Nerve
Slide 28-

1) Dendrite: receives information, conveyed to cell body 2) Cell Body: contains nucleus 3) Axon: carries information away from cell body Neurons Made Up of Three Parts

Slide 30-

Motor (efferent nerve fibers) differ in peripheral nervous system Somatic: one neuron Autonomic: two neurons
Slide 31-

Nervous tissue has property of Excitability (responds to change in environment) Conductivity (transmits nerve impulses) Resting neuron has a potential to depolarize A stimulus changes the neurons permeability to sodium allowing a rush of sodium into nerve cell (depolarizing cell) This action is conveyed along the whole nerve fiber (all or none principal) Excitability and Conductivity

Slide 33-

SYNAPTIC CLEFT: Space between one neuron and (presynaptic neuron) and the dendrite of an adjacent neuron (postsynaptic neuron) At the end of each presynaptic neuron are tiny sacs called vesicles, each containing a chemical neurotransmitter When an action potential (wave of depolarization) reaches the end of the presynaptic neuron the vesicals move to the surface of the axon membrane and release their contents into the synaptic cleft This neurotransmitter will fill the cleft and continue the wave of depolarization of postsynaptic neuron Cleft between neurons and effector organs have same principal Synaptic Transmission of a Nerve Impulse
Slide 34-

Reflex = Negative Feedback

Slide 50-

Alpha1 – Blood Vessels Vasoconstriction Alpha2 – Presynaptic neuron – eliminates further release of Norepinepherine. Beta1 – Heart - increases contractility and heart rate Beta2 – Lungs, Skeletal Muscle - dilation Adrenergic Receptors
Slide 51-

Has two main types of receptors Alpha and beta receptors are the main types They both have some subtypes Norepinephrine
Slide 52-

Is different on organs based on type of the receptor Epinephrine that comes from the adrenal medulla prolongs its effect Norepinephrine Effect
Slide 53-

Occurs by means of two enzymes mao and comt It happens slower than deactivation of Acetylcholine Norepinephrine Deactivation
Slide 54-

Their cell bodies are in the ganglion near the effector organ They usually synapse with one postganglionic neuron Parasympathetic Neurons
Slide 55-

Restores vegetative function Slows body functions Heart rate Speeds up body functions GI Motility Parasympathetic Effect

NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES
Slide 58-

Myasthenia Gravis Bell’s Palsy Guillian-Barre Syndrome Parkinson’s Disease Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis Meningitis Nervous System Diseases
Slide 59-

Knowing a basic knowledge of some of these Diseases will help us understand the problems our patients are having Can anticipate and be ready for complications Prepare equipment Understand the frustrations patients have with the progression of their disease Better understanding of the disease process Ultimately better treatment and understanding Why Do We Need to Know About Those Diseases???
Slide 60-

Slide 61-

ppt slide no 61 content not found
Slide 62-

Myasthenia Gravis Auto immune neuromuscular disorder Shows signs of muscle weakness of voluntary muscles: occulomotor, facial, laryngeal, pharyngeal, and RESPIRATORY There is a 70-89% reduction in Acetylcholine receptors per each post synaptic cleft…therefore muscle weakness Improves with rest and drug administration (anti-cholinesterase meds)
Slide 63-

Drooping eyelids Double vision Slurred speech Nasal quality to speech Inability to speak Drooling Nasal regurgitation Weak cough Problems chewing and swallowing (choking) Trouble sitting up/holding head erect Trouble walking Feeling SOB Signs and Symptoms

Slide 70-

Corneal ulceration and blindness Impaired nutrition Long-term psycho social problems Complications
Slide 71-

GUILLIAN-BARRE SYNDROME
Slide 72-

Acute syndrome characterized by widespread inflammation or demyelination of ascending/descending nerves in the peripheral nervous system (conduction) Causes weakness, paralysis Muscles unable to respond to commands sent from brain due to decreased conduction Guillian-Barre Syndrome
Slide 73-

Unknown >50% patients had non-specific infection 10-14 days prior to GBS symptoms (possible sensitized lymphocytes may produce demyelination) Which causes decrease conduction Cause
Slide 74-

Saltatory Conduction Myelinated fibers The action potential jumps around the insulating myelin rapidly Increases conduction times Normal Myelinated Nerve
Slide 75-

Demyelination delays nerve conduction Therefore decreasing conduction times Muscles are unable to respond to commands sent from the brain Fewer incoming sensory signals to be interpreted as heat, pain, etc. Demyelinated Nerve Segments
Slide 76-

Lower extremity weakness leads to upper extremity and facial weakness Sensory and motor loss Complete paralysis with respiratory failure within 48 hours (33% of GBS patients need to be intubated) Paralysis can progress in 2-3 weeks (30% quadriplegics, 30% bed bound) Signs and Symptoms
Slide 77-

Sympathetic and parasympathetic involvement leads to : Hypertension Hypotension Dysrhythmias Circulatory collapse Continued
Slide 78-

Cardiac failure Respiratory failure Infection and sepsis Venous thrombosis Pulmonary embolus Complications
Slide 79-

PARKINSON’S DISEASE Parkinsonism
Slide 80-

Mainly a disease of movement Progressive disease becoming worse over 10 years Parkinson’s Disease
Slide 81-

Our brain (basal ganglia) directs all of our movements It uses many chemicals to transmit messages Dopamine, acetylcholine, Norepinephrine In the basal ganglia the most important chemical for the transmission of messages is Dopamine Parkinson’s Disease
Slide 82-

In Parkinson’s, cells that produce Dopamine die off The remaining cells can’t relay information from cell to cell therefore causing the signs and symptoms of this disease. Cause
Slide 83-

Muscle rigidity and akinesia Jerky tremor (begins in fingers) Difficulty walking due to akinesia High pitched monotone voice, drooling Mask like facial expression Loss of posture control Difficulty speaking/swallowing Decreases with purposeful movement and sleep Signs and Symptoms
Slide 84-

AMYOTROPIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS aka...Lou Gehrig’s Disease
Slide 85-

Terminal neurological disorder Progressive degeneration of nerve cells in spinal cord and brain Does not effect mental functioning or senses such as hearing or seeing Not contagious No cure Age group 40-70 years old 50% of patients die within 18 months Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis
Slide 86-

A- without Myo- muscle Tropic- nourishment Lateral- side (of spinal cord) Sclerosis- hardening/scaring Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis
Slide 87-

Unknown Theory- excess of a neurotransmitter called Glutamate, clogs the synapse of the nerve cell not allowing a neural impulse to be transmitted. Cause
Slide 88-

Twitching and cramping of muscles(hands/ feet) Loss of motor control in hands and arms Increased weakness in diaphragm and chest muscles Tripping and falling Persistent fatigue Slurred/thick speech As the disease progresses: Difficulty breathing & swallowing Paralysis Cardiac arrhythmia Pneumonia Respirator arrest Signs and Symptoms
