The Structure of the Nervous System
1. How are the components of the central nervous system protected from injury?

By the end of today’s class, you should be able to:
2. discuss the generation and movement of cerebral spinal fluid through the ventricular system.
1. distinguish between the three layers of the meninges.

The Major Divisions of the Nervous System

How are the components of the central nervous system protected from injury?
• The brain and spinal cord are protected by three anatomical features:
1. Bone:
The brain is encased in the skull. The spinal cord is encased in the vertebral column (i.e., spine or
backbone).
7
2. Meninges:
Lay beneath the bone that protects the CNS.
Consists of three layers:
Dura mater: outer meninx, a tough membrane.
Arachnoid membrane: Immediately inside the dura mater, a fine spider web-like membrane.
Pia mater: Innermost meninx, delicate membrane that adheres to the surface of the CNS.

3. Cerebrospinal fluid:
A clear fluid found in three regions:
The subarachnoid space.
The central canal of the spinal cord.
The cerebral ventricles.
Supports and cushions the brain and spinal cord.

• In addition to the three anatomical features that protect the CNS, the brain is protected from toxic substances by the blood brain barrier.
The cells that comprise blood vessel walls of the brain are tightly packed, preventing the passage of undesirable molecules from the blood into the brain.
