Study Notes
Organization of the Nervous System
- The nervous system is divided into two major parts: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
- The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord, serving as the control center for processing information.
- The PNS includes all the nerves outside the CNS, connecting the CNS to limbs and organs.
Central Nervous System vs. Peripheral Nervous System
- The CNS is protected by the skull and vertebral column, providing a bony structure for safety.
- The PNS is further divided into the somatic nervous system (voluntary control of skeletal muscles) and the autonomic nervous system (involuntary control of internal organs).
- Cerebrospinal fluid surrounds and cushions the CNS, while the PNS consists of sensory and motor neurons.
Formation of Spinal Nerves
- Spinal nerves are formed through the combination of ventral (anterior) and dorsal (posterior) roots.
- Dorsal roots contain sensory nerve fibers that transmit signals to the CNS, while ventral roots contain motor fibers that send signals from the CNS to muscles.
- Each spinal nerve consists of both sensory and motor fibers, providing a bidirectional communication pathway.
