RAINB
ARRIER Protects brain cells from harmful substances and pathogens
Tight junctions (+)
water-soluble substances : glucose, cross the BBB by active transport.
creatinine, urea, and most ions, cross the BBB very slowly
proteins and most antibiotic drugs—do not pass BBB
lipid-soluble substances : oxygen, carbon dioxide,
alcohol, and most anesthetic agents, easily cross the blood–brain barrier.
Trauma, certain toxins, and inflammation can cause a breakdown of BBB
CEREBROSPINAL FLUID
Clear, colorless liquid
Protects brain and spinal cord from injuries
carries oxygen, glucose, and other needed chemicals from blood to neurons and
neuroglia
circulates through cavities in brain and spinal cord and around the brain and spinal cord in subarachnoid space (between arachnoid
mater and pia mater).
CSF volume : 80 to 150 mL (adult)
contains glucose, proteins, lactic acid, urea, cations (Na, K, Ca2, Mg2), and anions (Cl and HCO3), some white blood cells
Function
1. Mechanical protection
shock-absorbing medium
2. Chemical protection
provides an optimal chemical environment for accurate neuronal signaling
3. Circulation
allows exchange of nutrients and waste products between blood and nervous tissue.

ORMATION OFCSF
Ventricles : CSF-filled cavities within the brain
lateral ventricle : in each hemisphere of cerebrum.
Anteriorly separated by septum pellucidum (SEP-tum pe-LOO- sidum
3rd ventricle : narrow cavity along midline superior to
hypothalamus and between
right and left halves of thalamus
4th ventricle lies between brain stem & cerebellum.

cerebrospinal fluid from blood plasma by filtration and secretion

movements from motor areas of cerebral cortex

pneumotaxic area & apneustic area : respiration
Nuclei of 4 pairs of cranial nerves : trigeminal (V) nerves, abducens (VI) nerves, facial (VII) nerves, and vestibulocochlear (VIII) nerves.
M
IDBRAIN contains nuclei and tracts
Cerebral peduncles : axons of corticospinal, corticopontine, and corticobulbar tracts (conduct nerve impulses from motor areas in cerebral cortex to spinal cord, pons, and medulla)
Tectum

inferior colliculi (relaying impulses from the receptors for hearing in the inner ear to the brain)
substantia nigra
red nuclei
look reddish (rich blood supply and an iron- containing pigment in neuronal cell bodies)
help control some voluntary movements of the limbs
Nuclei of 2 pairs of cranial nerves:
oculomotor (III) nerves and trochlear (IV) nerve
R
ETICULARF
ORMATION broad region where white matter and gray matter exhibit a netlike arrangement
ascending (sensory) functions
Reticular activating system (RAS)
sensory axons project to cerebral cortex
helps maintain consciousness and is active during awakening from sleep
descending (motor) functions
help regulate posture and muscle tone
THE CEREBELLUM
• Smoothes and coordinates
contractions of skeletal muscles
• Regulates posture and Balance
• May have a role in cognition and language
processing
central constricted area : vermis ( worm)
Cerebellar hemispheres
Anterior and posterior lobe govern subconscious aspects of skeletal muscle movements
flocculonodular lobe : equilibrium and balance
Cerebellar cortex
consists of gray matter/ folia ( leaves)
cerebellar nuclei
axons carrying impulses from the cerebellum to other brain centers
cerebellar peduncles
Superior, middle, and inferior
Conduct impulses between the cerebellum and other parts of the brain.
