Abstract
The nervous system consists of the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (cranial nerve, spinal nerve). This chapter explores the gross morphology of the central nervous system, in preparation for further study of the neuronal connections. This chapter details the blood supply and cerebrospinal fluid flow of the central nervous system. Then it sequentially describes the morphology of the cerebral hemisphere, limbic system, basal nuclei, diencephalon, cerebellum, brainstem, and spinal cord. It is necessary to correlate external features of the structures to their sectional planes. It is suggested to review this chapter with other learning materials such as realistic neuroanatomy atlases, plastic specimens, three-dimensional computer models, and cadavers.
