Study Notes
Anatomy, Physiology, and Mechanics of the Nervous System
- The nervous system (NS) is a continuous tissue with mechanical, electrical, and chemical continuity.
- Any movement of a body part has consequences on the NS; any movement of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) has consequences on the central nervous system (CNS).
- The general structure of the NS consists of contact surface/mechanical interface, neural structures, and innervated tissues.
- The contact surface acts as a container for the NS, accommodating the tissues around it, and bio-pathological conditions of these tissues can influence the NS.
- The protection systems of the NS include meninges, wraps/envelopes of the peripheral nerve, and wraps/envelopes of the nerve roots.
- The dura-mater is the most external and stringy/fibrous membrane that envelops the NS, while the arachnoid is an intermediate layer, and the pia-mater is the innermost membrane closely linked to nerve tissue.
- The wraps/envelopes of the peripheral nerve include endoneurium, perineurium, and epineurium, while the wraps/envelopes of the nerve roots are similar to pia mater and arachnoid.
- The physiology of the NS includes axonal transport, blood circulation, and innervation, and compression may affect these functions.
- The mechanical functions of the NS include tension, sliding, and compression, and the normality in the movement of the SN depends on its neuro-biomechanical capacity.
- The nervous system as a whole/set is a complex system, and local movements can cause distance changes, producing side/secondary effects in another area.
- The response to movement involves local movement of the NS, fast neural slip/glide in the medium-haul, and tension in the NS in the end-haul.
- The NS continuity allows manual differentiation of the structures involved in the problem, which can be done in all neurodynamic tests.
