Study Notes
Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Meninges
- The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain.
- It is divided into two hemispheres separated by a longitudinal fissure.
- These hemispheres are connected by the corpus callosum.
- The cerebrum has surfaces, fissures, sulci, and lobes.
- It also has functional areas in the cerebral cortex.
- White matter is covered by a layer of neural cortex (gray matter).
- The surface area of the cerebrum corresponds to the amount of gray matter.
- The cerebrum has specific lobes with different functions, like the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes.
Major Brain Subdivisions
- The major subdivisions of the brain include:
- Cerebrum
- Thalamus and hypothalamus
- Midbrain
- Pons and cerebellum
- Medulla oblongata
Cerebellum
- The cerebellum is known as the "little brain".
- It's divided into hemispheres.
- Its functions include balance, posture, and movement.
- It controls voluntary muscles to produce smooth, coordinated actions.
- Each hemisphere controls the same side (ipsilateral) of the body.
- The cerebellum has an internal structure of gray and white matter.
- The cerebellar cortex comprises three layers: molecular, Purkinje, and granular layers.
- White matter surrounds the deep cerebellar nuclei.
Lobes
- Anatomical lobes of the cerebellum include:
- Anterior lobe
- Posterior lobe
- Flocculonodular lobe
- Functional lobes of the cerebellum are:
- Archicerebellum
- Paleocerebellum
- Neocerebellum
Internal Structure of Cerebellum
- The cerebellum has gray matter and white matter.
- The gray matter is located mostly on the outer portion, or cortex, and has specialized layers of cells.
- The inner region is composed of white matter, deeply embedded cerebellar nuclei.
Meninges
- The meninges are membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
- There are three layers:
- Dura mater
- Arachnoid mater
- Pia mater
- The dura mater is the tough, outermost layer.
- The arachnoid mater is a spiderweb-like middle layer.
- The pia mater is the delicate inner layer, providing blood to neural structures.
- The dura mater is composed of two layers - endosteal (outer) and meningeal (inner).
- The arachnoid mater has a space below called the subarachnoid space filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
- CSF cushions and bathes the brain and spinal cord.
- Arachnoid mater has arachnoid vilus, which is a site for diffusing CSF into bloodstream, into venous sinuses.
Applied Anatomy (Subdural/Subarachnoid Hemorrhage)
- Subdural hemorrhage is a brain injury where blood accumulates in the subdural space.
- Subarachnoid hemorrhage occurs when blood leaks into the subarachnoid space.
- A rupture of cerebral arteries, often aneurysm, at the base of the brain, can lead to blood contaminating CSF, causing increased intracranial pressure, headache, loss of consciousness, and possibly coma.
