NERVOUS SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION

The nervous system is a complex network of nervous and cell that carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord vsrious parts of the body.

The nervous system includes both the
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS) &
PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (PNS).

Basic structure and function of the nervous system is called "NEURON".

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION

The nervous system is responsible for coordinating all of the body's activities. It controls not only the maintenance of normal functions but also the body's ability to cope with emergency situations.

The nervous system has two functions :

1. Sensary Function
2. Motor Function

1. SENSORY FUNCTIONS :

● Superficial Sensory Function (Examples - Heat, cold etc)
● Deep Sensory Function (Example pain)
● Special Sensory Function (Example Eyes for vision, Ears for hearing, Nose for Smell, Tongue for taste)

2. MOTOR FUNCTION

Motor function has two types

1. Upper motor function (Brain to Medulla)
2. Lower motor function (Medulla to Spinal cord)

1. UPPER MOTOR FUNCTION :

● Frontal lobe (Examples Reading,  writing, analysis, speaking, sitting, standing, running)
● Parietal lobe (Example Superficial and deep function)
● Occipital lobe (Example vision)
● Temporal lobe (Examples Hearing, taste, smell)
● Limbic lobe (Examples Emotion, feelings, Sexual functions and behaviour)


2. LOWER MOTOR FUNCTION :

Upper lobe connected to Mid Brain.
Middle lobe connected to Pons.
Lower lobe connected to Medulla.

● Functions of Upper lobe : Balance and Equalebrium
● Functions of Middle lobe : Muscle tone
● Functions of Lower lobe : Pattern of Walking.


BRAIN STEM : - Mid Brain, Pons and Medulla.

CRANIAL NERVES

Brain and Head is called cranial. Cranial 12 nerves are

1. Ol factory (smell)
2. Optic (vision)
3. Occulo motor nerve (eyes)
4. Trochlear nerves (eye muscles)
5. Trigiminal nerve (facial Sensary)
6. Abducent nerve (eye muscle)
7. Facial nerve (facial movement)
8. Vestibulo cocchlear nerve (balance, hearing)
9. Glosso pharangeal nerve (tongue)
10. Vagus nerve (heart, lungs and some internal parts)
11. Spinal accessory nerve (spinal area sensary)
12. Hypo glossal nerve (tongue tip portion)


POSITIONS OF CRANIAL NERVES

● Nerves 1 and 2 - Temporal
● Nerves 3,4,5 - Mid Brain
● Nerves 6,7,8 - Pons
● Nerves 9,10,11,12 - Medulla.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPINAL NERVES

1. Cervical nerves (C1-C8)
2. Thoracic nerves (T1-T12)
3. Lumbar nerves (L1-L5)
4. Sacral nerves (S1-S5)
5. Coccys nerve (C1 one pair)

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DISEASES :

1. Cereberal stroke
2. Parkinson disease
3. Brain infection
4. Meningitise - Inflammation (heat, swelling, pain)
5. Micro cephalus (small)
6. Macro cephalus (Enlarge)
7. Dementia (Recent Dementia/ Remote Dementia)
8. Fit (General - complete body shivering / Local - only hand and legs shivering.  Fit is abnormal function of Brain)
9. Intra Cranial Pressure (ICP)
10. Numbness
11. Sensary loss(partially or completely)

C1 to C8 -

1. Policeman tips hand defarmity (only effects childrens)
Condition name - Era palsy (C4, C5, C6, C7)
2. Wrist drop (Saturday night palsy)
3. Neck pain.

T1 to T12 - Back pain, chest pain, scoliosis (bending of the spinal cord)

L1 to L5 - Abdomina problems,  low back pain, knee pain

S1 to S5 - Back pain, leg and foot pain, foot drop

C1 (Coccys) - Hip and pelvic pain.

CONCLUSION

The nervous system is the first body system to develop in the human embryo an indication of its importance to the rest of the body. It is sometimes reffered to as the "master system".
