Study Notes
CNS Histology
- Cerebrum: Gray matter contains neurons, white matter contains myelinated axons
- Cerebellum: Gray matter contains neurons, white matter contains myelinated axons
- Spinal Cord: Gray matter contains neurons, white matter contains myelinated axons
- Ganglion: Contains neurons, axons, myelin sheath
- Nerves: Contains axons (nerve fibers) and myelin sheath
- Nerve Fascicle: Contains bundles of axons (nerve fibers)
- Epineurium: Outermost layer of connective tissue around nerve
- Perineurium: Connective tissue sheath surrounding individual nerve fascicles
- Endoneurium: Layer of connective tissue surrounding each axon within a fascicle
CNS Development
- Week 3:
- Neurulation begins
- Neuroplate forms
- Neural tube forms
- Week 5:
- Three brain vesicles formed:
- Prosencephalon: Forms the forebrain
- Mesencephalon: Forms the midbrain
- Rhombencephalon: Forms the hindbrain
- Three brain vesicles formed:
- Adult brain:
- Prosencephalon:
- Telencephalon: Forms the cerebrum and lateral ventricles
- Diencephalon: Forms the thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus, and third ventricle
- Mesencephalon: Forms the midbrain and cerebral aqueduct
- Rhombencephalon:
- Metencephalon: Forms the pons and cerebellum
- Myelencephalon: Forms the medulla oblongata and fourth ventricle
- Prosencephalon:
- Sulci and gyri develop late in fetal development, formed at birth
- Spinal cord:
- Alar plate: Forms the posterior horn, contains sensory neuron cell bodies of dorsal root ganglia
- Basal plate: Forms the anterior horn, contains motor neuron cell bodies
