  • Guide to Using This Book
  • Section I: The Central Nervous System
  • 1. Organization of the Central Nervous System
  • Neurons and Glia Are the Two Principal Cellular Constituents of the Nervous System
  • The Nervous System Consists of Separate Peripheral and Central Components
  • The Spinal Cord Displays the Simplest Organization of All Seven Major Divisions
  • The Brain Stem and Cerebellum Regulate Body Functions and Movements
  • The Diencephalon Consists of the Thalamus and Hypothalamus
  • The Cerebral Hemispheres Have the Most Complex Shape of All Central Nervous System Divisions
  • Cavities Within the Central Nervous System Contain Cerebrospinal Fluid
  • The Central Nervous System Is Covered by Three Meningeal Layers
  • An Introduction to Neuroanatomical Terms
  • 2. Structural and Functional Organization of the Central Nervous System
  • The Dorsal Column–Medial Lemniscal System and Corticospinal Tract Have a Component at Each Level of the Neuraxis
  • The Modulatory Systems of the Brain Have Diffuse Connections and Use Different Neurotransmitters
  • Guidelines for Studying the Regional Anatomy and Interconnections of the Central Nervous System
  • The Spinal Cord Has a Central Cellular Region Surrounded by a Region That Contains Myelinated Axons
  • Surface Features of the Brain Stem Mark Key Internal Structures
  • The Thalamus Transmits Information From Subcortical Structures to the Cerebral Cortex
  • The Internal Capsule Contains Ascending and Descending Axons
  • Cerebral Cortex Neurons Are Organized Into Layers
  • 3. Vasculature of the Central Nervous System and the Cerebrospinal Fluid
  • Neural Tissue Depends on Continuous Arterial Blood Supply
  • The Vertebral and Carotid Arteries Supply Blood to the Central Nervous System
  • The Spinal and Radicular Arteries Supply Blood to the Spinal Cord
  • The Vertebral and Basilar Arteries Supply Blood to the Brain Stem
  • The Internal Carotid Artery Has Four Principal Portions
  • The Anterior and Posterior Circulations Supply the Diencephalon and Cerebral Hemispheres
  • Cerebral Veins Drain Into the Dural Sinuses
  • The Blood-Brain Barrier Isolates the Chemical Environment of the Central Nervous System From That of the Rest of the Body
  • Cerebrospinal Fluid Serves Many Diverse Functions
  • Section II: Sensory Systems
  • 4. Somatic Sensation: Spinal Mechanosensory Systems
  • Somatic Sensations
  • Functional Anatomy of the Spinal Mechanosensory System

  • Functional Anatomy of the Spinal Protective Systems
  • Regional Anatomy of the Spinal Protective Systems
  • 6. Somatic Sensation: Trigeminal and Viscerosensory Systems
  • Cranial Nerves and Nuclei
  • Functional Anatomy of the Trigeminal and Viscerosensory Systems Give Rise to Projections for Processing the Linguistic
  • Regional Anatomy of the Trigeminal and Viscerosensory Systems
  • 7. The Visual System
  • Functional Anatomy of the Visual System
  • Regional Anatomy of the Visual System
  • 8. The Auditory System
  • Functional Anatomy of the Auditory System
  • Regional Anatomy of the Auditory System
  • 9. Chemical Senses: Taste and Smell

  • 11. Cranial Nerve Motor Nuclei and Brain Stem Motor Functions
  • Organization of Cranial Motor Nuclei
  • The Functional Organization of the Corticobulbar Tract
  • Regional Anatomy of Cranial Motor Nuclei and Corticobulbar Tract
  • 12. The Vestibular System and Eye Movements
  • Functional Anatomy of the Vestibular System
  • Functional Anatomy of Eye Movement Control
  • Regional Organization of the Vestibular and Eye Movement Control Systems
  • 13. The Cerebellum
  • Gross Anatomy of the Cerebellum
  • Functional Anatomy of the Cerebellum
