The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists of cranial nerves and spinal nerves. The PNS includes the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The brain is contained within the cranial cavity of the skull, and the spinal cord is contained within the vertebral cavity of the vertebral column. General structure of NS Nervous tissue, present in both the CNS and PNS, contains two basic types of cells: neurons and glial cells. Neurons are cells and therefore have a cell body, axon and the dendrite. Looking at nervous tissue, there are regions that predominantly contain cell bodies and regions that are largely composed of just axons. These two regions within nervous system structures are often referred to as gray matter (the regions with many cell bodies and dendrites) or white matter (the regions with many axons). Brain, Cranial Nerve And Supply A localized collection of neuron cell bodies in the CNS is referred to as a nucleus. In the PNS, a cluster of neuron cell bodies is referred to as a ganglion. A bundle of axons, or fibers, found in the CNS is called a tract whereas the same thing in the PNS would be called a nerve. In the peripheral nervous system, axons and dendrites are “wrapped” in specialized cells called Schwann cells General structure of NS (3) General structure of NS (4) Neurons may be classified into three groups: sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons. Sensory neurons (or afferent neurons) carry impulses from receptors to the central nervous system. Interneurons are found entirely within the central nervous system. They are arranged so as to carry only sensory or motor impulses, or to integrate these functions. Motor neurons (or efferent neurons) carry impulses from the central nervous system to effectors General structure of NS (5) Glial cells oA supportive cell in the central nervous system. oUnlike neurons, glial cells do not conduct electrical impulses. oThe glial cells surround neurons and provide support for and insulation between them. oGlial cells are the most abundant cell types in the central nervous system. Types of glial cells include oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, ependymal cells, Schwann cells, microglia, and satellite cells. Neuroglia in the CNS include astrocytes, microglial cells, ependymal cells and oligodendrocytes. Neuroglia in the PNS include Schwann cells and satellite cells. Astrocytes support and brace the neurons and anchor them to their nutrient supply lines. They also play an important role in making exchanges between capillaries and neurons. Microglial cells can transform into a special type of macrophage that can clear up the neuronal debris, while monitoring the health of the neuron. General structure of NS (6) Ependymal cells are another glial subtype that line the ventricles of the CNS to help circulate the CSF. Oligodendrocytes are cells that wrap their process tightly around the fibers producing an insulating covering called myelin sheath. Schwann cells are similar in function to oligodendrocytes and microglial cells. Satellite cells perform a similar function to astrocytes General structure of NS (7) The Brain: The brain constitutes about 2% of the body weight and lies within the cranial cavity, the parts are: Cerebrum Cerebellum Brain stem Midbrain Pons Medulla oblongata The largest part of

OPTOMETRY · SEMESTER 1 Haemostasis Human Anatomy and Physiology START READING NOTES Contents of This Topic Response to Blood Vessel Injury Haemostasis: In general, blood clotting occurs in three stages: 1. FORMATION OF PROTHROMBIN ACTIVATOR Intrinsic pathway 2. CONVERSION OF PROTHROMBIN ANTICLOTTING MECHANISM IN THE BODY Chemical Factors – Natural Anticoagulants Response to Blood Vessel Injury Haemostasis: Haemostasis: The process of forming clots in the walls of damaged blood vessels and preventing blood loss while maintaining blood in a fluid state within the vascular system. or.defined as the process in which blood loses its fluidity and becomes a jelly-like mass. A collection of complex interrelated systemic mechanisms operates to maintain this balance between coagulation and anticoagulation. When a small blood vessel is damaged, the injury initiates a series of events that lead to the formation of a clot (haemostasis). This seals off the damaged region and prevents further blood loss In general, blood clotting occurs in three stages: 1. Formation of prothrombin activator 2. Conversion of prothrombin into thrombin 3. Conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin. 1. FORMATION OF PROTHROMBIN ACTIVATOR Blood clotting commences with the formation of a substance called prothrombin activator, which converts prothrombin into thrombin. Its formation is initiated by substances produced either within the blood or outside the blood. Thus, formation of prothrombin activator occurs through two pathways: i. Intrinsic pathway ii. Extrinsic pathway. Intrinsic pathway In this pathway, the formation of prothrombin activator is initiated by platelets, which are within the blood itself Extrinsic pathway. In this pathway, the formation of prothrombin activator is initiated by the tissue thromboplastin, which is formedfrom the injured tissues. 2. CONVERSION OF PROTHROMBIN INTO THROMBIN Prothrombin activator that is formed in intrinsic and extrinsic pathways converts prothrombin into thrombin 3. CONVERSION OF FIBRINOGEN INTO FIBRIN The final stage of blood clotting involves the conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin by thrombin. ANTICLOTTING MECHANISM IN THE BODY Under physiological conditions, intravascular clotting does not occur. It is because of the presence of some physicochemical factors in the body Physical Factors i. Continuous circulation of blood. ii. Smooth endothelial lining of the blood vessels Chemical Factors – Natural Anticoagulants i. Presence of natural anticoagulant called heparin that is produced by the liver iii. All the clotting factors are in inactive state. ← PREVIOUS TOPICNEXT TOPIC →VIEW MODULE NOTESVIEW SEMESTER NOTESALL OPTOMETRY NOTES Need These Notes as PDF?

To assist one in memorizing the names of the five layers of the scalp, use each letter of the word SCALP to denote the layer of the scalp. Skin: which is thick and hair bearing and contains numerous sebaceous glands Connective tissue Beneath the skin. The fibrous septa uniting the skin to the underlying aponeurosis of the occipitofrontalis muscle. Numerous arteries and veins are found in this layer. Aponeurosis (epicranial), which is a thin, tendinous sheet that unites the occipital and frontal bellies of the occipitofrontalis muscle. THE SCALP: Loose areolar tissue: Occupies the subaponeurotic space. Loosely connects the epicranial aponeurosis to the periosteum of the skull (the pericranium). The areolar tissue contains a few small arteries, but it also contains some important emissary veins OCCIPITOFRONTALIS Consist of two bells: Occipital belly Frontal belly OCCIPITAL BELLY ORIGIN: Highest nuchal line of occipital bone INSERTION: Epicranial aponeurosis NERVE SUPPLY: Facial nerve FUNCTION: Moves scalp on skull and raises eyebrows FRONTAL BELLY ORIGIN: Skin and superficial fascia of eyebrows INSERTION: Epicranial aponeurosis NERVE SUPPLY: Facial nerve FUNCTION: Moves scalp on skull and raises eyebrows MUSCLES OF FACIAL EXPRESSION MUSCLES OF FACIAL EXPRESSION These are muscles of the face. Because these muscles control expressions of the face, they are sometimes referred to as muscles of "FACIAL EXPRESSION." They also act as sphincters and dilators of the orifices of the face (i.e., the orbits, nose, and mouth). ORBITAL GROUP orbicularis oculi and the corrugator supercilii. ORBICULARIS OCULI The orbicularis oculi is a muscle in the face that closes the eyelids. It consist of: Palpebral part. Orbital part.

Lower group of muscles (depressor anguli oris, depressor labii inferioris and mentalis) Upper group of muscles (risorius, zygomaticus major, zygomaticus minor, levator labii superioris, levator labii superioris alaeque nasi, and levator anguli oris) THE ORBICULARIS ORIS Complex muscle consisting of fibers that completely encircle the mouth, Originate near the midline from the maxilla superiorly and the mandible inferiorly. It inserts into the skin and mucous membrane of the lips. Function is apparent when pursing the lips, as occurs during whistling. Contraction of the orbicularis oris narrows the mouth and closes the lips. BUCCINATOR The buccinator forms the muscular component of the cheek. It is in the space between the mandible and the maxilla. The buccinator arises from the posterior part of the maxilla and mandible opposite the molar teeth and the pterygomandibular raphe. Contraction of the buccinator presses the cheek against the teeth. This keeps the cheek taut and aids in mastication by preventing food from accumulating between the teeth and the cheek. Assists in the forceful expulsion of air from the cheeks. LOWER GROUP OF ORAL MUSCLES DEPRESSOR ANGULI ORIS Is active during frowning. It arises along the side of the mandible below the canine, premolar, and first molar teeth. Inserts into skin and the upper part of the orbicularis oris near the corner of the mouth. FUNCTION: It depresses the corner of the mouth. DEPRESSOR LABII INFERIORIS Depressor labii inferioris arises from the front of the mandible, deep to depressor anguli oris. Inserting into the lower lip. It depresses the lower lip and moves it laterally. MENTALIS It is the deepest muscle of the lower group, Arising from the mandible just inferior to the incisor teeth. Insert into the skin of the chin. FUNCTION It raises and protrudes the lower lip as it wrinkles the skin of the chin. Helps position the lip when drinking from a cup or when

The typical vertebrae consists of Body, transverse process, the foramen transversarium, the vertebral foramen and spinous process 6 The Vertebral Column(2) The vertebral column (spine), extending from the cranium (skull) to the apex of the coccyx. The vertebral column: protects the spinal cord and spinal nerves supports the weight of the body superior to the level of the pelvis provides a partly rigid and flexible axis for the body and a pivot for the head and plays an important role in posture and locomotion. Significant motion occurs between only the superior 25 vertebrae 7 The Vertebral Column(3) The 5 sacral vertebrae are fused in adults to form the sacrum, and the 4 coccygeal vertebrae are fused to form the coccyx The vertebrae gradually become larger as the vertebral column descends to the sacrum and then become progressively smaller toward the apex of the coccyx These structural differences are related to the fact that the successive vertebrae bear increasing amounts of the body's weight 8 Curvatures of Vertebral Column(1) 9 10 Curvatures of Vertebral Column(2) The vertebral column in adults has four curvatures: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral The curvatures provide a flexible support (shock-absorbing resilience) for the body. The thoracic and sacral (pelvic) curvatures (kyphoses) are concave anteriorly, whereas the cervical and lumbar curvatures (lordoses) are concave posteriorly. 11 Curvatures of Vertebral Column(3) The thoracic and sacral curvatures are primary curvatures, developing during the fetal period. Primary curvatures are retained throughout life as a consequence of differences in height between the anterior and the posterior parts of the vertebrae. The cervical and lumbar curvatures are secondary curvatures, which begin to appear in the cervical region during the fetal period but do not become obvious until infancy. 12 Curvatures of Vertebral Column(4) Secondary curvatures are maintained primarily by differences in thickness between the anterior and the posterior parts of the IV discs The cervical curvature becomes prominent when an infant begins to hold his or her head erect The lumbar curvature becomes obvious when an infant begins to walk and assumes the upright posture This curvature, generally more pronounced in females, ends at the lumbosacral angle, formed at the junction of the L5 vertebra with the sacrum. 13 Curvatures of Vertebral Column(5) The sacral curvature of females is reduced so that the coccyx protrudes less into the pelvic outlet. The curvatures provide additional flexibility (shock-absorbing resilience) to the vertebral column, augmenting that provided by the IV discs 14 Structure of intervertebral Disc(1) The intervertebral discs are the main structures that bind together the vertebral bodies, and they extend from C2 to the sacrum (C1 has no vertebral body) The discs are responsible for one quarter of the length of the vertebral column below the level of C2 They are thickest in the cervical and lumbar regions, where the movements of the vertebral column are greatest They may be regarded as semielastic discs, which lie between the rigid bodies of adjacent vertebrae Their physical characteristics permit them to serve as shock absorbers when the load on the vertebral column is suddenly increased, as when one is jumping from a height. 15 Structure of intervertebral Disc(2) Their elasticity allows the rigid vertebrae to move one on the other Unfortunately, their resilience is gradually lost with advancing age Each disc consists of a peripheral part, the anulus fibrosus, and a central part, the nucleus pulposus The anulus fibrosus is composed of fibrocartilage, in which the collagen fibers are arranged in concentric layers or sheets The nucleus pulposus in children and adolescents is an ovoid mass of gelatinous material containing a large amount of water, a small number of collagen fibers, and a few cartilage cells. It is normally under pressure and situated slightly nearer to the posterior than to the anterior margin of the disc 16 Structure of intervertebral Disc(3) No discs are found between the first two cervical vertebrae or in the sacrum or coccyx 17 Function of the intervertebral Disc(1) The semifluid nature of the nucleus pulposus allows it to change shape and permits one vertebra to rock anteriorly or posteriorly on another, as in flexion and extension of the vertebral column A sudden increase in the compression load on the vertebral column causes the semifluid nucleus pulposus to become flattened. The outward thrust of the nucleus is accommodated by the resilience of the surrounding annulus fibrosus Sometimes, the outward thrust is too great for the anulus fibrosus and it ruptures, allowing the

The special senses, the eye and the ear, lie within the skull bones or in the cavities bounded by them. The brain gives rise to 12 pairs of cranial nerves, which leave the brain and pass through foramina and fissures in the skull. All the cranial nerves are distributed to structures in the head and neck, except the 10th, which also supplies structures in the chest and abdomen SCALP The scalp consists of skin (normally hair bearing) and subcutaneous tissue that cover the neurocranium from the superior nuchal lines on the occipital bone to the supra-orbital margins of the frontal bone Laterally, the scalp extends over the temporal fascia to the zygomatic arches. LAYERS OF SCALP Skin: thin, except in the occipital region, containing many sweat and sebaceous glands and hair follicles. It has an abundant arterial supply and good venous and lymphatic drainage. Connective tissue: forms the thick, dense, richly vascularized subcutaneous layer that is well supplied with cutaneous nerves. Aponeurosis (epicranial aponeurosis): the broad, strong, tendinous sheet that covers the calvaria and serves as the attachment for muscle bellies converging from the forehead and occiput and from temporal bone on each side Scalp Anatomy Loose areolar tissue: a sponge-like layer including potential spaces that may distend with fluid as a result of injury or infection. This layer allows free movement of the scalp proper (the first three layers—skin, connective tissue, and epicranial aponeurosis) over the underlying calvaria. Pericranium: a dense layer of connective tissue that forms the external periosteum of the neurocranium. MENINGES The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. The brain and spinal cord are completely covered by three membranes, the meninges lying between the skull and the brain, and between vertebrae and the spinal cord. These are Dura mater Arachnoid mater Pia mater DURA MATER The cerebral dura mater consists of two layers of dense fibrous tissue. The outer layer takes the place of the periosteum on the inner surface of the skull bones, and the inner layer provides a protective covering for the brain. The dura mater forms several structures that separate the cranial cavity into compartments and protect the brain from displacement. These are The falx cerebri separates the hemispheres of the cerebrum The falx cerebelli separates the lobes of the cerebellum The tentorium cerebelli separates the cerebrum from the cerebellum Venous blood from the brain drains into venous sinuses between the layers of dura mater The superior sagittal sinus that runs across the top of the brain is formed by falx cerebri and the tentorium cerebelli forms the straight and transverse sinuses. The epidural space is a potential space that may exist between the dura mater and the skull. If there is hemorrhage in the brain, blood may collect here. The subdural space is a space existing between the dura mater and the middle layer of the meninges, the arachnoid mater ARACHNOID MATER The arachnoid or arachnoid mater is the middle layer of the meninges. In some areas, it projects into the sinuses formed by the dura mater. These projections are the arachnoid granulation or arachnoid villi. . They transfer cerebrospinal fluid from the ventricles back into the bloodstream. The subarachnoid space lies between the arachnoid and pia mater. It is filled with cerebrospinal fluid. All blood vessels entering the brain, as well as cranial nerves pass through this space. PIA MATER This is a fine connective tissue containing many minute blood vessels. It adheres to the brain, completely covering the convolutions and dipping into each fissure. It continues downward covering the spinal cord. Beyond the end of the cord it continues as the filum terminale, pierces the arachnoid tube and goes on, with the dura mater, to fuse with the Periosteum of the coccyx. ← PREVIOUS TOPICNEXT TOPIC →VIEW MODULE NOTESVIEW SEMESTER NOTESALL OPTOMETRY NOTES Need These Notes as PDF?
