00:02 I wasn't alright, y'all? You ready to learn a little bit of

00:11 . Just just a little bit, a lot. Okay. I didn't

00:16 about this slide. Right? This the one I ended on.

00:20 So what I wanted to show here basic the basic reflex arc. All

00:26 . And so if you recall when left on thursday, what we were

00:30 about, where the different parts of central nervous system, we talked about

00:34 cerebrum. We talked to cerebellum, talked about the diane cephalon, went

00:37 the brainstem and then we started talking the spinal cord, which is still

00:41 of the central nervous system. And talking about that, we talked about

00:45 organization about the gray matter on the , the thing that kind of looks

00:47 a butterfly and then the white matter the outside. And so really the

00:52 arc here is to demonstrate partially why spinal cord is part of the central

00:58 system. And the first statement up kind of says it, it

01:02 look, the brain, sorry, spinal cord is capable of processing information

01:08 its own. You do not need send everything up to the brain in

01:13 for your body to process it and a response out of it. And

01:17 reflex arc demonstrates this there are reflex that occurred that go all the way

01:21 to the brain. But we have simple reflex arcs that can happen at

01:26 level the spinal cord and so you see in our little picture here.

01:30 love these little pictures cause I like make stories with them. So you

01:33 on an electric nail, right? why there's lightning bolts. That's not

01:39 why it's just pain. That's what supposed to mean. So you can

01:42 you step on a tack. What ? Ouch, Right, but what

01:48 you do? You lift your foot ? Right, You don't need to

01:53 about it. You don't it's not a cartoon, right? You guys

01:56 bugs bunny cartoons. Okay. There's be a point where I'm gonna ask

02:01 question, the class and they're gonna at me like what's bugs bunny?

02:03 I'm just gonna be that's the day retire. Right? So, it's

02:07 when the red runner runs off the and and kinda goes after him,

02:11 sits there and has to think about before he falls. Right, That's

02:14 what happens with this type of When you're talking about a reflex,

02:19 does not need to go up to processing center. So that there's

02:23 You step on a tack. You your foot up. Then you

02:28 oh right. So the processing, perception part comes up to the

02:34 but the action is solely dependent upon simple reflex arc. So information is

02:40 in other words, this is somatic . So, it's basically detecting uh

02:44 pain that that information goes up, the uh the neuron in that

02:51 This is called an interneuron. Interneuron then activate the motor neuron that sends

02:56 causes the muscle to contract and you it up. All right, You

03:00 have to think about it. It happens. And if you've ever been

03:03 the doctor, you've had some fun they get to do stuff like

03:05 Like when they've done the knee jerk , right? They hit you with

03:08 little hammer and your leg and you're , no, no, watch,

03:11 fight against it. It just Right? So that's a reflex a

03:17 occurs or the reflex arc occurs in very simple way, information is received

03:22 a receptor. Information is sent via a different pathway. So that would

03:26 a sensory pathway. It's processed at level of the spinal cord in that

03:31 . And then information is being sent being different pathway onto an effect or

03:36 effect of being in this case of . Now, this isn't the only

03:39 of reflex arcs. I mean you have like salivary, right? You

03:43 something good like like a brownie sound good. Hot brownie ! Hot

03:51 brownie with hot fudge on top and that mouth water. That would be

03:57 reflex, right? You don't have sit there and go there's a brownie

04:00 front of me. I need to hungry now. Alright, I'll come

04:03 you. Right? So first there's just what this is trying to

04:07 is that these reflexes can occur at different levels. And so the first

04:11 is segmental, which is what I is basically staying at the same

04:15 So information goes in stays at that and comes out being the motor pathway

04:20 the same level. Inter segmental means going up or down through that spinal

04:26 , right? So you can go an upper level or down to a

04:29 level to a different level within the cord. And then super segmental means

04:33 goes up to the brain stem to some sort of response. So now

04:37 being sent up to a structure and what the dame, it says right

04:40 supra. So it's telling you going a higher order structure. But generally

04:45 in our class. And typically in we tend to focus here, but

04:50 the course of your life you'll probably seeing some of these. So,

04:53 there was a question way. so that's that's a response, that's

05:06 a response to training. So if took any other person out here and

05:11 a baseball at their head, you , there there's gonna be a reflexive

05:15 of, oh, I see something at me, but what do most

05:17 do when the ball is coming at head? They duck? Right,

05:21 that's what most people or or you it hit you in the head and

05:24 which case you learn that that's probably a good thing, right? So

05:28 of the part of the training is going through the process of learning to

05:33 your hand up and responding to that coming from you, right? But

05:37 that's not a spinal reflex, That's a different type of reflex.

05:41 so what we're dealing with this particular art, we're referring specifically to the

05:46 reflexes. Okay, so these these the easy ones. Another one.

05:50 a simple we'll get we'll talk about of these a little bit later.

05:54 like it's the like if someone grabs arm, it's called what is called

05:58 cross extensive reflex. So if I you and pull at you, like

06:01 gonna take you, what is your response? Take your other hand and

06:05 away. That's across extensive. All . And that same cross century flex

06:10 what you do when you step on tack. When I step on a

06:13 , I lift up my foot. if I lift up my foot without

06:16 something else, I'd fall right on But what's the other thing I gotta

06:20 ? Gonna extend this foot downward to it. So I go and now

06:24 planted here, that's crosstalk sensor. the simple art shows you here that's

06:30 on one side. But obviously there's communication that's going on, that creates

06:34 larger, more complex reflexes. And just want you to focus on the

06:38 reflex here receptor, a different pathway effect er processing taking place in the

06:45 cord. So what this does it this transition. So we kind of

06:52 the brief sprint through the central nervous . And what we're gonna do is

06:56 gonna do a brief sprint through the nervous system and then from there,

07:00 we're gonna do is we're going to at and I'm gonna remember, oh

07:03 gonna look at the ways that the nervous system protects itself. And then

07:07 last thing we're gonna look at is autonomic nervous system today and then we

07:10 to do some fun stuff as we forward. So what I wanna do

07:13 just kind of put in perspective with peripheral nervous system is alright, functionally

07:18 , it's the part of the nervous that receives information and then responds to

07:23 process of the central nervous system. , so if we went back to

07:27 art, the thing that's sending the up as part of the peripheral nervous

07:31 , the part of the information that's down here is peripheral nervous system.

07:35 inside the spinal cord that processing is nervous system. So the peripheral nervous

07:41 deals with those two aspects information goes to be processed, processed information coming

07:47 goes to the effect er that's what we think about peripheral nervous system.

07:53 , so what we're doing is we're take those electrical signals that are going

07:57 move the length, we're gonna turn chemical signals. And then chemical signals

08:00 gonna be converted to electrical signals, sent down their length, down to

08:05 the effect of where chemical is gonna released. And again, I would

08:09 you or remind you that when we're about these types of axons, these

08:13 of neurons that have these axons, are very, very long structures,

08:18 ? So they leave the spinal cord then they travel the length of the

08:24 to which they're going to innovate. , if I'm like wiggling my pinky

08:28 here, that fiber leaves the spinal is one long cell that goes the

08:32 length. All right now we're gonna some nuance here. But I want

08:36 to start there. So if you at this little map, this is

08:40 of how biologists divide everything up. we like to put things in boxes

08:45 it makes life easy for us, ? And sometimes things want to go

08:48 six boxes, but we're going to focus on the simple boxes.

08:53 So the simple boxes are if you of the peripheral nervous system information going

08:57 and information going out, that means have sensory input and we have motor

09:02 . So that's the first two So we're gonna look at uh

09:07 right? And then how is it controlled? Alright. So we have

09:11 is referred to as somatic and autonomic really just kind of deals with the

09:16 , right things that you can So, when I'm talking motor,

09:20 talking about muscles. You know, muscles. When I'm thinking about somatic

09:26 sensory information, I'm talking about receptors the skin. Alright, receptors on

09:31 surface or in the muscles. So can understand what's going on.

09:35 here somatic deals with things that I control and have perception of autonomic,

09:41 the other hand, deals with both sensory and motor aspects that I don't

09:45 control over. All. Right. , we're talking about smooth muscle,

09:49 muscle, salivary glands, glands in . Alright. And so we're governing

09:55 trying to ask questions about what's going inside our viscera. Viscera being the

09:59 of your body. Okay, So don't have any sort of conscious control

10:04 just to prove it, I want here to stop your heart. Go

10:08 . Just right. No. Maybe that maybe that takes a little

10:12 of training. Uh So why don't speed up our hearts? So,

10:17 can can you do that now? can. Okay, so, I'm

10:22 the only one. Alright, when we talk about peripheral nervous

10:28 peripheral nervous system is all about All right. There are no nerves

10:36 the central nervous system. Okay, that's a very important point. And

10:42 like, wait a second, what you mean? There are no

10:44 You talk about nerve fibers all the . You might even see that in

10:48 . We'll know a nerve is a specific thing. When you see the

10:52 fiber, it's it's kind of a term. And when they put nerve

10:56 , what they're implying is they're talking axons. So nerve fiber is really

11:00 axon. Alright, so nerves are to the peripheral nervous system. It

11:05 be a cranial nerve or spinal nerve the cranial nerves arise from. Let's

11:10 from the regions above the shoulder Right? So it's basically the brain

11:16 and the cerebrum. Okay, where you think the spinal nerves arise from

11:20 spinal cord? See how hard this ? Yeah. So so that's kind

11:26 our our first step now the way can think about this and this is

11:29 has got the description for me in has gotten much more difficult as years

11:33 gone by because everyone now uses cell . Very few of us actually have

11:38 phones in our homes at this Anyone here have a wired phone in

11:41 home still I do. I have kids that I refuse to buy phones

11:45 because they're under the age of Right? So if they need to

11:49 us they need to have a wired . Right. But I want you

11:54 imagine. Have you guys been over Buffalo speedway and been over there in

11:58 area. Have you seen that big brown building with no windows has a

12:02 . And T on the side of . Okay, there's actually one on

12:05 88 down here, it's actually much . It's about a three story

12:08 No windows again says A T. T on the side. These are

12:14 buildings that exist as a result of old telephone system. They still use

12:18 for telecom, but now it's all . And I want you to imagine

12:23 you go look at these, you'll these pipes come out of these buildings

12:25 they're like six ft tall pipes. ? And what they're doing is they're

12:29 all the fiber optic used to be cables but its fiber optic now out

12:34 that building and it goes out into neighborhoods and in your neighborhood if you

12:38 around carefully you're gonna start seeing these tiny green towers that's about this tall

12:42 those towers are away for that building connect to all the houses in your

12:47 . It's a splitter and that splitter sends wires to every single house in

12:52 neighborhood. And at some point somewhere the 80s basically all houses up to

12:58 point usually had one phone line. then sometime during the 80s this idea

13:02 every daughter on the planet had to a phone because they always took up

13:05 phone line and so people started getting lines into their homes and so you

13:10 the little princess phone that's actually the of there was a pink phone that

13:14 would give little girls say it's your line. And so you have two

13:17 . But you can imagine for each these things there's kind of a splitter

13:20 takes place right? So you start with this big fat cable full of

13:26 and then those get split into smaller which getting smaller ones which get smaller

13:30 and finally go in your home and have multiple lines there. And that's

13:34 of what nerves are. Nerves are axons traveling together from one point to

13:42 . And usually that other point is sort of common point. So you

13:46 imagine your neighborhood is a common But then you split off right and

13:50 go to different areas and then you imagine there's wires going in the house

13:53 that's a common point and then they again and then there's another common

13:57 you know like oh all the phones the one line and then there's that

14:00 that goes upstairs to the daughter's I don't know why son never got

14:04 phone. We they didn't trust us it or something. So when you

14:09 a nerve, that's what you need see is these are axons traveling together

14:15 one place or the other. Now axons see what I have listed up

14:21 just to make sure. Alright so it's a bundle right? It's just

14:27 axon portion so you can see in cartoon here and they're actually wrapped up

14:32 separated from each other. So you see here here are the Schwann

14:35 So you can see that insulation. this would be the axon and that's

14:39 insulation. But they're wrapped up in tissue and there's three layers. So

14:43 each one is wrapped by what is an indo nuri. Um And then

14:47 take a bunch of bunch of these that have been wrapped in industry um

14:51 then you bundle them together so they're of traveling in unison and that's wrapped

14:55 what is called the perron uri. And then you get a whole bunch

14:58 these that are bundles that have been called fascia um or face tickles.

15:02 then you take these fast cycles and bundle them together and then you have

15:06 epidural and that would be the whole . So the nerve consists of many

15:10 , many axons traveling in the same kind of like muscle in that they

15:16 those three different layers. Yeah. now where the cell bodies are,

15:22 gonna be depending upon which type of you're looking at. So if you're

15:25 at a sensory neuron that act that cell bodies located in that dorsal root

15:31 . Remember we said that there was bulge in the dorsal root, that's

15:35 the cell bodies are. But if a motor neuron the cell body is

15:38 be located in the central nervous So they're ranged or structurally kind of

15:46 these these structures, these neurons or um As I mentioned, they can

15:52 in the cranial region. So they're from the brain and that includes the

15:57 stem or spinal. They could come the spinal cord. Now if you

16:00 at a nerve or not a nerve a nerve fiber, you asked the

16:06 which way is it sending its If a fiber is sending it towards

16:12 central nervous system, it's sensory, it's sending information away from the central

16:17 system, its motor and then nerves can actually be bundled both sensory and

16:24 together. That means the motor is gonna be motor sensory is always gonna

16:27 sensory. But collectively the whole thing is a mixed nerve because it has

16:32 those fibers bundled together. So, can imagine I have sensory fibers that

16:38 in my arm that are traveling up I have motor fibers that are traveling

16:41 to the same location. And so probably sharing the same nerve. Um

16:46 go into that particular location. Not of them do that. But some

16:51 them do that. And when you and do an anatomy class you will

16:55 between which is which? Good Not anatomy class don't have to learn

16:59 names of nerves today. All So sensory nerves always going into transmitting

17:07 information. These are different fibers is way you can look at different fibers

17:12 always motor. They're sending information down an effect. Er Now nerves are

17:23 kind of interesting spinal nerves in particular With some of the cranial nerves,

17:28 will happen is that as they're exiting they are basically dividing and splitting into

17:36 structures called plexus Plexus is. I know what the plural is. I

17:41 plexus is fine. Such a frustrating . So what you can imagine.

17:46 if I have a spinal nerve what does is it split it exits

17:49 So you can imagine I have here's here's my spinal cord. I've got

17:53 two routes they come together. They the spinal nerve and immediately they split

17:57 three parts. All right. These called the ray my there's an anterior

18:01 there's a posterior ramus and then there's Remy communications and we'll kind of go

18:06 them in a little bit. The one we don't really worry about or

18:09 about all too much because it's just interesting. It just innovates the skin

18:12 the muscles of the back seat kind boring. Right? But the anterior

18:18 are the ones that become kind of because what they do is that they

18:22 and divide and converge with other anterior of other spinal nerves and they form

18:28 structures called ramos Or or sorry ma'am and a plexus. You can think

18:33 it like this is that to ensure I have sensory fibers and motor fibers

18:39 down to the structures that are being . I have multiple pathways to ensure

18:45 information goes to and from that pathway to make that in english so that

18:50 can understand it. Think about where live right now. Is there more

18:54 one way to get to U. H from your home or vice

18:59 Right. So when you wake up the morning and you find out there's

19:02 40,000 car pile up, you know to get around that 40,000 car

19:06 right? You don't just get on and hopefully they'll get you through some

19:11 neighborhood, right? It's like, , I've got my alternate plan right

19:15 get get to school because we don't class. Right? Everyone nod your

19:19 and say no we don't ever skip . Right? That's kind of what

19:23 plexus is. It says I have coming out through this spinal nerve,

19:28 have fibers coming out this spinal nerve I'm gonna send fibers down to that

19:33 location so that if this nerve gets , I still have information that can

19:38 to and from that particular locale through different nerve. That's really how you

19:43 kind of think of these. All , And what they do is depending

19:47 where you're looking there's four major plexus plexus, whatever in the body.

19:54 And that those ones we kind of on. But what we do with

19:57 plex is that out of the plexus the name nerves of like for

20:03 the limbs. So when you start like the owner nerve and the radial

20:08 and the um you know, the nerve and you know, yada yada

20:13 . These are the nerves that have from the spinal nerves after they've gone

20:19 the plexus. In other words, and terri ramos that's coming through.

20:23 right. So, nerve plexus is a form of organization that allows for

20:31 and motor input to get to the locale. And the other thing I

20:37 to just kind of point out with to the spinal nerves is that it's

20:40 very, very organized. Your body not just a bunch of wires jammed

20:45 a, you know, a finite that there is organization to it.

20:49 so you can see where the spinal go. This is a map that

20:53 that it's a derma tone. And , what this is trying to show

20:57 is saying this area, These areas you see marked here show you which

21:01 nerves are innovating that area so that know where information is going to and

21:09 . Alright, so, cue tania's here. There's also a Maya tome

21:15 well. So, you can see muscles are being innovated by which spinal

21:19 But that's not being shown here. , you'll see there's a slight bit

21:22 overlap for some of these things. again, that's where you're seeing the

21:26 crossovers as a result of the And this ensures that that that information

21:31 is leading to those particular areas, that makes sense. So, that

21:36 of kind of understand this organization. , the takeaway from this is our

21:44 are heavily heavily organized in terms of the nerves go to and from.

21:50 , ma'am. So, so that's a good question. So, the

22:03 way to think about it is more its kind of an overlap in terms

22:08 what type of signal is not gonna the same signal, but it's an

22:12 signal. All right. So, idea is that if it's a if

22:15 a pain receptor, you might have pain receptor that travels down one track

22:20 another and they're very closely associated with other so that if I stimulate

22:25 I may not stimulate the other, they're close enough together that my body

22:28 that stimulation is occurring in that general . That's probably a better way to

22:33 that. Right. It's not an pathway. It's probably probably a redundant

22:38 would be a better term, or redundant pathway. Any other questions about

22:46 kind of that organization of of the nervous system. Alright, we're gonna

22:51 back to all this stuff again, I wanted you to kind of get

22:54 big picture look so central nervous We we kind of ran through and

22:58 said here are the different pieces parts generally speaking what they do, peripheral

23:02 system. We got information goes We got information comes out highly,

23:05 organized. We'll see a little bit of this organization as we move

23:10 So would you all agree that your central nervous system is important and you

23:15 to protect it? Yeah. Good. Mom made you wear a

23:18 while riding a bike and we didn't it in our generation, which kind

23:22 explains a lot about us, So your brain has these natural protections

23:29 are associated with it. All So first off, you have a

23:34 structure that protects it. Well, can think of your cranium,

23:37 That's an easy one, right? your your vertebrae protects the spinal

23:41 So bony protection If you've never played a live brain. And I'm gonna

23:49 ahead and guess that 99% of you probably never actually seen a live brain

23:53 pulled one out of an organism. , really? No, no,

23:58 haven't, 99%. And I'm telling , I've never would have I

24:03 I've I've, you know, an lab, you play with a fixed

24:08 and that's hard and it's like a ham or something like that,

24:13 But a live one is more like butter. Right? It's it's really

24:19 soft, very malleable. And you , you touch it, it just

24:24 , right? That's why they fix this stuff in like formula and

24:29 You know, Did I play with ? No, I pulled it out

24:34 a mouse and turned it into our . A. So yeah. You

24:39 this this is some of the fun you get to do when you're doing

24:42 is like I wonder what is being in the structure. Let me just

24:45 it out and see. Yeah, just crack it like a walnut and

24:51 , that's how you find out. , you know, most structures you

24:53 pull out and they're solid. But you try to pull a brain out

24:56 like it's like it's like a watery . I know that's gross, you

25:01 , just hard to grasp anyway. . So one of the ways that

25:06 protect this is we're gonna have a of of membranes that kind of help

25:13 and shape that that brain and keep solid. The other thing that we're

25:19 do is we're going to create a barrier or a fluid barrier that actually

25:24 to absorb energy when that brain is . Now we don't see a lot

25:30 assault, you know, in the century or in the 21st century first

25:35 we saw a lot of salt. you can imagine life was a lot

25:39 for most organisms, right? You protect that one structure. And so

25:42 we have kind of a internal you know, internal helmets aren't very

25:46 against things that want to crack your open. Or when you like decide

25:49 do a face plant off a 20 cliff. Beauty, 20 ft place

25:57 Superman for 13 seconds or probably but it felt like forever. All

26:03 . And so that's what cerebral spinal is. It's it's a uh material

26:10 is primarily water that helps to absorb from trauma and it surrounds the

26:19 It's actually found within the brain. made in these areas called the core

26:24 plexus. So, if you look the little picture right here, that's

26:26 red structures that you see in our pictures, right? Which is uh

26:31 where you're gonna find the epidermal Remember we talked about the different types

26:35 glial cells and animal cells is one them. Alright, so you're making

26:40 by these, by these epidermal cells these structures called the core Oid

26:44 All right now, what's in it regulated because you don't want to mess

26:49 brain fluid. So, you're going regulate very carefully what goes in and

26:54 it helps to regulate. So, the hard word. Brain extra cellular

26:59 . BcF is brain extra. All . Through direct mixing. So,

27:04 is one of the reasons why you to maintain its composition so closely because

27:07 does interact with the surrounding fluid. where do you find the stuff where

27:12 find the core complex stuff? This gonna be in the ventricles and we'll

27:15 to the outside the cell and then look at the membranes themselves. So

27:21 is a side view or lateral Here's yet that front view or anterior

27:25 and you can see these four These are the cavities in which um

27:30 found inside the cranium. Now, don't want to go into all the

27:36 things but you start off life as tube. Alright. You're basically a

27:40 that gets twisted over and over and first tube in your body that gets

27:44 twisted is the neural tube. And that tube suggests that there's space in

27:50 and that tube turns into those that space inside terms into those

27:56 And so you can see here we two lateral ones left and right,

27:59 one And then they converge and form is called the 3rd ventricle. So

28:06 can see the third ventricle over see how thin it is, very

28:11 and then it goes down and forms fourth ventricle. Now the opening between

28:17 two I'm not you're not need to about their inter ventricular frame and it

28:21 you in the name inter between ventricles framing his whole So in between the

28:27 hole, right? Got fancy cerebral does that sound fancy aqueduct?

28:36 okay. And it basically goes to fourth ventricle and from the fourth ventricle

28:39 continues down through the spinal cord as central canal. But there's also

28:46 there's two lateral openings and one on back, the median opening our

28:51 And so cerebrospinal fluid flows out into space that's gonna surround the brain itself

28:57 well. So the core oid plexus going to be located in very specific

29:03 within these ventricles. So again going to the picture you can see here

29:09 located around the third ventricle. They're in the 4th ventricle. There's some

29:13 here in the lateral ventricles as And what we're doing is we're making

29:19 fluid and it's gonna flow from those to the third to the fourth.

29:23 through the central and out through the into that space. And it's sitting

29:27 serving as a way to create pressure but also create a um a protective

29:35 externally. So this is me just all those things. So if you

29:40 to read that, that's me just you where they all located. So

29:45 leads to. All right well what it where is it going to what's

29:48 and we're gonna look at its composition so surrounding the brain. I said

29:53 it in place are these three membranes to as the meninges singular form is

29:59 . So if you ever see it an X. That's what that

30:01 So it has a thick layer on outside. A thinner layer and then

30:06 really really, really thin layer The outer layer is called the dura

30:10 . The dura matter actually there's two to it. So you have an

30:15 layer and then you have a man geul layer. The ninja layer is

30:19 to that that next inner layer, layer is going to be near the

30:23 . And this this dura matter is , very thick. It's kind of

30:27 a gallon ziplock bag, freezer bag you've ever played with had one of

30:33 , you know what I'm talking Pretty thick, pretty hard. You

30:37 , not very stretchable. And these layers are really in close opposition towards

30:42 one another. So they're next to other except in some places where they

30:46 together and they split and they create little tiny pockets. That little pocket

30:50 there is called a dural sinus. , in the cartoon, you can

30:54 the dural sinus in blue. You see the two layers of the dura

30:59 in green separated by the little odysseus layers. One on top the

31:03 layers on the bottom. All These kind of serve as blood

31:09 specifically as veins in the brain in very specific locations locations. So blood

31:14 of accumulates and then leaves through actual . But this is where blood is

31:20 of collected that's been gone through the underneath that this represented by this little

31:28 line right there. There's another one over there. Is the arachnoid matter

31:31 you hear arachnoid, What do you of spiders? Yeah, I mean

31:35 sounds like spiders and the reason it like spiders or its name. This

31:39 because just underlying the arachnoid matter is space it's called the sub arachnoid

31:45 And in that space you see these webs um of structure. All

31:52 Um They're called I'm trying to see . I'm just blanking on the name

31:56 I don't have it up here. sure it's true, particularly, particularly

32:00 basically means fibers. Alright, so have these fibers these ridiculously that kind

32:05 hold this space in place. So have a dura matter. You have

32:08 arachnoid matter. Then you have the space. And then the next structure

32:12 gonna be the p a matter that's third layer. But that subarachnoid space

32:16 the space in which that cerebral spinal is going to be emptied. And

32:20 it looks like there's a bunch of and webs in there. And so

32:23 way I remember this is this is the brain spiders live. Have you

32:27 had a brain spider? I know have you've been walking walked into a

32:32 and it's like why did I come here because the brain spider attacked took

32:37 thought away. No, I'm not go that way. Thank you for

32:43 . He's stinking. He's such an , stupidest dad joke ever. All

32:49 now. So, this space is just uh cerebral spinal fluid. That's

32:54 to be made in those ventricles and gonna escape out through those apertures to

32:58 into this space. And so you're the P. M. Matter and

33:02 below the arachnoid matter. Now, can see in our little cartoon,

33:06 little circles, right? Those little are blood vessels, and so large

33:11 vessels need to work their way down the brain. And so this is

33:15 of the first place you get the vessels that are out on the

33:18 And then as you start moving you move into smaller blood vessels.

33:21 eventually those blood vessels are gonna pass the pia and then they're going to

33:26 into the deep spots of the All right, So, the other

33:32 I want to point out here is little picture right here, see that

33:36 are called villa degranulation, as you see that the the arachnoid matter penetrates

33:40 the dura and it goes specifically into dural sinuses where it's sticking out.

33:45 so the these villi or these granule , there's depending on the size,

33:50 have different names. This is where uh cerebral spinal fluid is returned or

33:56 back to the blood. So, gonna take things from the blood to

34:00 the cerebral spinal fluid. And then we've circulated around, then we're gonna

34:05 that fluid right back to the blood which we took it. And this

34:07 how it gets there. I'm gonna you the flow in just a

34:10 So just bear with me, we have the PM matter right here.

34:14 I said, this is gonna be layer that's on the bottom. It's

34:17 close association with the viruses and the eye of the of the cerebrum.

34:23 it's just very very close association. fact when you take a brain

34:27 in fact the ones you'll be working when you go to medical school,

34:29 how I said when you know when work on brains, what you'll be

34:34 is you'll see that the brain still ps stuck to it because it's kind

34:39 the hard part to peel off. very thin, very very thin

34:44 The collective term for the arachnoid and is the lepton meninges. As I

34:49 , it is what defines the subarachnoid . And lastly this is one that

34:54 don't really see very often is the limitations. And so in the brain

35:01 you're gonna have a whole bunch of . Alright, those astrocytes, their

35:07 are called uh are called feet And what they do is they come

35:13 up to the p. A matter you push those astrocytes feet right up

35:17 to the pia. And it creates barrier. And so that barrier is

35:25 the glia limitation? So it says name glia. So it tells you

35:28 from the glia. And these happen be the astro sites. And it's

35:31 limiting wall that basically defines where the tissue ends and where those Durham or

35:37 meninges begin. All right now, this is tight, what it doesn't

35:43 , it doesn't restrict the diffusion of between the cerebral spinal fluid and the

35:49 . Extra cellular fluid. So this why you can have materials going between

35:54 two zones. So even though the spinal fluid is not mixing over

36:00 the materials can cross between that barrier back again. In other words,

36:05 and CSF are not the same They're separated from each other, but

36:09 can be shifted between the two So I'm gonna kind of try to

36:14 it back together so that you can . So where do we make this

36:18 ? We make it here in the oid plexus. Right? So it's

36:21 be the lateral and the 3rd and ventricles, we make about 100 and

36:27 250 mils. Or that's sorry, have about 100 2550 mils.

36:33 I saw. And I can't remember it was. One of you two

36:36 a water bottle. I know it back over here. Water bottle.

36:41 it up. How about how much in that water bottle? How

36:47 How many not announces we're scientists. don't talk announces. No, no

36:53 units. How many? 500 So what is a quarter of 500

37:03 ? I know I'm making you do man. It sucks when he makes

37:06 do simple algebra. 1 25. hold that bottle up again. All

37:11 . You see 100 and 25 So 1 25 is a quarter of

37:16 bottle. That is how much cerebral fluid you have circulating in your body

37:20 at this very moment. But we on a daily basis, 500 mils

37:25 day. So we completely replace C. S. F. Four

37:30 daily as much as that's held in 16.9 ounce bottle, I'm sorry,

37:35 mil bottle. All right now, does it flow? It starts in

37:40 laterals, right? Goes around through third from the third down to the

37:45 , and then it starts exiting out these apertures. Alright, and that's

37:49 this is trying to show you. trying to show you where it exits

37:52 and then it continues on down through uh central canal, down through the

37:58 of the center of the spinal And at the very bottom of there

38:01 an aperture there as well. So spinal fluid comes out. And so

38:05 you're looking at here? This yellow that you're seeing here. That's showing

38:09 the subarachnoid space. So the fluid in that subarachnoid space and circulates

38:16 And in order for something to that means you have to have an

38:19 of high pressure and area of low . The high pressure is where I'm

38:22 it, right when I make that's where I have lots of

38:25 So it's pushing away from there so has to go someplace. Where is

38:29 area of low pressure going to be up there at those uh granule ations

38:38 those ville? I Alright, so is leaving through that point. So

38:43 gonna be the low point of So the flow is going from high

38:47 low and its surrounding completely surrounding the and creating that protective barrier so that

38:53 you go slamming your head into a , your brain doesn't rattle around in

38:56 . Like oh I don't know, small peanut in a shell,

39:00 It's being held into place. All , so that's the flow.

39:05 how do we also affect float? remember our epidermal cells, We talked

39:11 them having cilia. I think I about that may not have. I

39:15 know. Alright, those cilia sits and beats it and says you go

39:18 way. And so it pushes that and the way you're sitting your postural

39:23 you're standing when you're sitting when you're down. Those postural movements cause the

39:28 of cerebral spinal fluid just like it movement of your blood in your body

39:32 well. And what we do is maintain roughly a constant 10 millimeter mercury

39:39 amount of pressure in that space. here ever seen an epidural couple?

39:48 you get to watch them do the ? What do they do after they

39:51 you? They pull the needle and do they look for? They look

39:56 fluid? Right. So you basically this this um now I'm blanking on

40:02 name. It's a catheter, You have a needle in the

40:06 you puncture in through these meninges into sub that into that subarachnoid space.

40:14 then you get in there and then pull the needle out with the catheter

40:17 still in place and you look for if fluid comes out, you got

40:21 right spot. If fluid doesn't come but that needle back in shift poke

40:28 again until you get it right? wait till you guys, you guys

40:33 have so much fun. All the you're gonna make. Yeah, so

40:38 that's it. And that that pressure what's allowing that fluid to exit.

40:42 what's driving the fluid out of that . So this is just kind of

40:49 deeper um picture to kind of show where these epidermal cells are. So

40:56 here this is supposed to be lateral is supposed to be your third

40:59 And it's showing you where this core plexus is all right? So what

41:03 the core? Right plex? It's bunch of epidermal cells and their tight

41:08 between them. So nothing can sneak between them. But they're in close

41:13 to capillary. Now keep saying You know what the word opposition

41:17 Right? I say it over and again. Fancier. It's a fancy

41:22 for saying right next to. So, if you're in a position

41:26 somebody, you're right next to All right. So this is where

41:30 capillaries are. And so, what allows is that materials from the capillaries

41:36 move out into the interstitial space and the epidermal cells can pick and choose

41:41 they want from that interstitial fluid. , so, your your core Oid

41:50 is one of those places where materials leave and enter back into the cap

41:57 fairly easily. But you have that still there for the epidermal cells to

42:02 materials that have leaked out of the . Just go wherever it wants

42:06 So, the epidermal cells are creating cerebral spinal fluid by picking and choosing

42:12 it wants. And this is what mean. Again, you don't need

42:14 memorize the picture, but it just you look at all the fancy fancy

42:18 and stuff. So it tells you ions and stuff. So, I'm

42:21 . And again, I'm not interested knowing the ions what If anything you

42:26 know that the this material is very similar to the plasma with some

42:33 small variation. That's all it That's all I want you to

42:36 So, it's just like plasma, it's not exactly like plasma. All

42:42 now, how do we get this well? Because cora plexus basically is

42:47 a lot of blood flow into that so much much greater. Alright,

42:52 no blood brain barrier which we'll deal . That's not better. Business bureau

42:55 brain barrier will get that in like slides and these cap players are

43:01 They allow material out. Um It innovated by the autonomic nervous system.

43:06 not so important, but it looks the sympathetic uh appears to inhibit

43:11 which would kind of make sense is I'm under you you were gonna talk

43:15 this. But sympathetic is when I'm know, stress. So whenever I'm

43:21 refer to as fight or flight. you can imagine, I don't want

43:24 create more pressure inside my brain. by inhibiting it it reduces the amount

43:31 pressure that's gonna be there. Should make you guys memorize this?

43:37 just making sure I mean if you to memorize it, you can but

43:42 just just showing you look here's that's what plasma looks like. That's

43:45 cerebral spinal fluid looks like. very similar. I'm just trying to

43:48 out the major differences. Again, memorize this um protein amino acids go

43:54 down. That should make sense to . Um If I have a big

43:58 , big things can't get through Um What's interesting is just the potassium

44:03 . Um Again, you don't need memorize but if you look at oh

44:06 , they do look a lot So C. S. F.

44:10 a lot like plasma. I think was a cool picture. That's electron

44:19 brain tissue. D. N. does that stand for? Dendrite?

44:27 . What does um I saw it here. A extend for acts on

44:33 . What do you think? S . Selma? Okay. And then

44:39 have this thing right here a s that astra site And it kind of

44:44 you how everything is just kind of up in there. If you had

44:48 find the space, do you think could find the extra cellular space in

44:55 ? I that look is good. saw that you're like, I don't

44:59 again remember what we said cells in body. There's not like this massive

45:03 . There's not these big giant caverns the body. These are cells that

45:07 playing the I'm not touching you Right? And so when you look

45:12 you see this little itsy bitsy teeny space between that line and that

45:16 you're looking at inter cellular space or sorry, extra cellular space. The

45:21 space. So you can imagine if material trying to get from one side

45:27 the brain tissue to the other is to be pretty difficult to do.

45:31 ? There's no like oh look there's this simple flow. This is I

45:37 have engineers in here but if I some chemical engineers in here talking about

45:40 chemical engineer. Alright. So so you describe the movement of fluids,

45:48 two miles underneath the earth, are big giant caverns holding oil if you

45:56 them? You know there's not it's hard cement. Yeah. Why do

46:03 why do we frack to make bigger ? Right? So this is like

46:11 , it's tight, tight, tight material that has to pass through that

46:16 to fuse through all that space and things. So it's very very

46:22 The B C. B. E . F. Is about 20% of

46:26 brain volume. So while you can't it in there it's there it's around

46:30 of the cells but it's very very , interestingly it increases with sleep.

46:35 do you suppose that is? Everything's kind of relaxed decreases with your

46:41 . Try to reduce that pressure. ? Um It's also the means through

46:47 these cells talk to each other. astro sites are talking to the

46:51 neurons are talking to the astrocytes neurons talking to neurons. So this is

46:55 environment that needs to be carefully monitored made sure that the ion concentrations don't

47:02 that much. All right. And also communicates with BCF communicates freely with

47:07 CSF. So if I build up for example, I have a way

47:11 shift those toxins off into an environment moving away very quickly. Right?

47:18 , I do have this this ability do so, but I am going

47:22 monitor it very, very carefully. This is gonna bring us to the

47:28 brain barrier. I do have a I want to tell with this and

47:34 the time. All right. what's the blood brain barrier?

47:40 in essence, it's a modification to capillary system via the astro sites.

47:47 right. So, you need both them and it's going to result in

47:52 actual anatomical and physiological barrier to the moving between the B. E.

47:58 . F. And the plasma inside blood vessels. All right.

48:03 I want you to picture for a , your hands and you're picking up

48:06 out of a bucket of water. right. So, if you go

48:10 and you scoop out that those those , water's gonna leak between your

48:15 The marbles are gonna stay in your . Right? You guys can you

48:20 that? Alright? So, throughout body, most of your capillaries are

48:25 that. And capillaries is where material taking place. All right.

48:29 when you're talking about gas exchange and you know, glucose and waste and

48:35 it's moving between different environments. This taking place at the capillaries.

48:41 So, you can imagine those those are like the proteins are too big

48:45 sneak between your fingers and even if cut your fingers like this, you

48:49 kind of see there is space in . Right? I don't know can

48:53 see that a little bit. so so this is most of your

48:58 so materials can leak through that are enough to leak through the brain.

49:02 not want that to happen. So what it's gonna do is it's

49:06 create this barrier, the blood brain , the astra sites. What they

49:10 is they wrap closely to the So you can kind of see here

49:15 what they've done and they actually have junctions between these in feet. And

49:21 they do is they send out signals the capillary cells which are right here

49:25 the pink. We're gonna talk about little yellow here in just a

49:28 And what it does is it tells capillaries um those leaky junctions you have

49:32 they are leaky tight junctions which is of the best oxymorons and biology.

49:37 they do is they say we need to seal those up. So I

49:40 you to take your hands again instead going in the bucket. I want

49:42 to take super glue and I want to stick it between your fingers and

49:46 glue your hands together. Now go the bucket and now nothing's leaking out

49:50 your fingers. Alright. So small can't sneak through because the astrocytes told

49:55 no not gonna allow that. The thing we have is we have here

50:00 yellow thing is a basement membrane. basement membrane is materials that are being

50:05 by this epithelium, right? The cells. And then materials made by

50:10 astrocytes that kind of serves as a between these two structures. So it's

50:15 of like a oh I don't know catch all. It's a screen door

50:19 the two environments. So I've got hard barrier but just in case something

50:24 able to leak through. I've got screen door that basically says no and

50:28 I have this other cell that sits the way as well. So if

50:32 have something that wants to get in here to there I have to pass

50:36 a capillary cell. I have to through a basement membrane and then I

50:42 to pass into an astro site before can ever find my way into the

50:47 E C. F. So that a whole bunch of requirements there.

50:52 you think so you can imagine not can pass on through now. I've

50:57 a whole bunch of hungry neurons that sitting in there going to give me

51:02 . So how do I get If I want to get glucose from

51:08 blood to that neuron, what would have to have transporters. So I

51:12 to have a transporter on the epithelial that makes up the capillary wall,

51:18 glucose has to be a molecule small to get through that basement membrane?

51:22 ? And it is. And then have to have a transporter on that

51:26 site so that that glucose can then into the astra site and then I

51:31 to have another transporter that allows that molecule to be released from the astra

51:35 into the extra cellular fluid. Plus transporter on the neuron. So the

51:42 gets to decide what goes into it its system. Right? Because this

51:47 serves as a physical barrier to molecules aren't capable of passing through those different

51:56 , that's the anatomical barrier. the physiological barrier has to do with

52:04 soluble itty of those substances. If water soluble, if I'm an ion

52:08 a water soluble, I'm probably small to get through that basement membrane.

52:11 I'm not gonna be able to get a capillary cell or get through that

52:15 site unless I have a carrier. , that makes sense. What if

52:18 lipid soluble, anything? Gonna stop , nope. So pharmacy students,

52:26 pharmacists, anybody know? No, one's gonna no one's gonna gonna own

52:32 to that. You're gonna get a of them. So if you're designing

52:35 drug that is supposed to work on brain. What do you think its

52:39 characteristic has to be lipid soluble, , That's in essence the physiological and

52:48 is what this this little picture is trying to show you. So it's

52:51 better picture showing you that barrier. physical barrier up here down here.

52:56 showing you what can and can't pass what you need in order to make

53:00 happen. Yeah. Well the blood water plus stuff in it.

53:12 They still Well so that that's a question. Right? And it's like

53:19 a second. You know, lipids want to be in the blood but

53:22 order for you to move steroids around body and other lipid soluble materials,

53:27 carriers in the blood. So what happen is that carrier comes along wraps

53:31 up, hides it away from from watery environment. So it stabilizes its

53:36 life and ensures that it can But it is governed by some of

53:41 chemical laws like the law of mass or law of mass balance. That

53:46 say how much is going to be up on? How much is free

53:49 dependent upon the concentration in circulation which leads us down a rabbit trail.

53:56 right. So the blood brain barrier that we create this kind of unique

54:04 . All right. I'm gonna paint picture for you dale. Do you

54:08 when the we came out? Do remember that? Alright, Alright.

54:15 in California. I mean there was anticipation but we would be as popular

54:19 it was. It was the year Xbox one came as Xbox one.

54:25 , Xbox 3 60 the PS those were the two big boys on

54:29 block And it was that it was Christmas and everyone wanted the PS three

54:34 and the xbox 360 and you couldn't anything anywhere. And then the we

54:40 out and they didn't make enough and they were just they were nowhere to

54:45 found. And you're sitting there, is this story going? What is

54:49 ? Well in southern California there was radio contest, you know how they

54:53 have these contests and it was you know, you've seen these types

54:57 contests where it's like, I Mr Beast does them all the

54:59 Put your hand on the car, gets the car, keeps their hand

55:03 the car the longest, you gets to keep the car, you

55:06 , whatever it is, the the island, I don't know where

55:09 gets his money. Anyway, it's made up, I'm sure. But

55:14 , so it's kind of the same where it's like we're gonna give you

55:17 a gallon of water to drink and holds it the longest gets to win

55:23 we right, So I always refer as the P for the week

55:27 I don't know what that was, was called, but it sounds about

55:30 , okay, so it didn't matter you were. They gave you a

55:34 of water to drink and one of contestants was a very very small woman

55:39 four ft something And she had to a gallon of water and within a

55:43 of like 30 minutes after drinking the she killed over in the contest.

55:48 basically uh respiratory failure, heart failure I think she ended up dying.

55:53 you can go look this up. is not I'm not making this up

55:56 a thing. Why? Why did happen? Alright. You know why

56:00 this horrible horrible thing happen? It to do with the movement of water

56:04 the body, right? The blood barrier is responsible for maintaining the proper

56:10 of ions and other salutes in the . But water is one of those

56:15 molecules that can kind of go wherever needs to go in order to maintain

56:19 osmotic conditions in the body. We learned that very early on,

56:25 know. So you can imagine here put in a gallon of water into

56:29 finite space. Alright. Your amount a person who's four ft something,

56:36 amount of blood you have in your about 4.5 liters. Alright, how

56:39 water is in your total body? about six liters. Right? So

56:43 put an extra gallon of water which 2.5 liters. That water's gotta go

56:48 it can go. And it's one places it's gonna go, it's gonna

56:50 in the brain. So you can why why this is kind of important

56:54 have a blood brain barrier. If I start mucking with ion

56:59 if I allow them to have this , I can affect other systems and

57:05 responsiveness. So this woman who who in this contest to win a toy

57:10 died by drowning in her own fluids her body. Right? And so

57:17 can imagine why is it so Why do I want to ensure?

57:21 , what goes into my brain? make it a little bit more

57:24 What do most of us like to on a friday or saturday night

57:29 Why does drinking so much fun? affects my brain in fun ways.

57:37 . Why does why does drinking why does alcohol do this? Does

57:41 blood brain barrier stop it? What is what is the what is the

57:46 that that that is in beer and ? And. Uh huh,

57:52 Alright. You you all took your chemistry too. Little carbon molecules and

57:57 alcohol hydroxyl group on the very Right. That thing slips right through

58:02 membranes, sprinting through. Trying to things to mess with. Starting

58:08 Oh I don't know uh inhibitory Oh, I'm gonna go pet that

58:17 . Yeah. Stupid things that we anyway. So blood brain barrier.

58:23 very important because it helps maintain the solute concentrations and allows our brain to

58:29 the way it's designed to do. ? There are areas of our brain

58:34 don't have a blood brain barrier they're ? These regions are called circum ventricular

58:39 . Circum near the ventricles. So they're near the ventricles and their

58:44 is to sample the blood for a specific regions. So for example the

58:49 is a circum ventricular organ and needs sample the blood to figure out what's

58:53 on in your body so it can the right hormones at the right

58:57 The pineal gland, pituitary glands, sort of thing. Right? Here's

59:01 fun one, vomiting center. Why I need the vomiting center to be

59:04 to sample the blood? What's the likely way for you to poison

59:11 Yeah, I mean come on, put it, we put everything you

59:13 live by the five second rule. , no, you drop a cookie

59:19 the floor, like an oreo and rolls along the floor a little

59:21 It's like, nope, I got one in your own. Yeah.

59:32 . Yeah. No I know. . Well I mean 10 seconds you've

59:36 you have a wonderful immune system, be amazed at the horrible things your

59:40 can put up with anyone here. been bitten by a rattlesnake.

59:46 no, I'm just trying to hyperbole to wake you guys up?

59:51 One of the characteristics of being bitten a venomous snake. Alright. What

59:58 one of the, what was one the features Uh No, no,

60:02 , no. You know what the ? How did you how did your

60:06 respond? Uh Right. Right. now yeah. Yeah. One of

60:18 closest friends got a brown recluse in football pads and it was the same

60:23 and the cross necrosis and stuff was . But what is the feature of

60:29 of the major features of being Yeah. Go ahead. What

60:37 Nauseous Why Your body is not sitting going, oh he got bit by

60:40 snake. He's like there is something my body that shouldn't be here.

60:46 is the most likely avenue in which arrived in my body? I probably

60:50 something. And so it's like that's the vomiting comes from. So your

60:56 is looking for toxins and basically trying figure out how to get rid of

61:00 the quickest because if it's circulating your is probably still in the digestive

61:04 So when you get bit by a and you're wondering why you're sick.

61:08 there you go. Cotton mouth. ? What'd you do? Did you

61:12 to pick it up? Oh it just one of them ornery ones.

61:23 . Yeah. I almost stepped on copperhead but never been bit by

61:31 The antivenin. That's that's that's kind interesting. But most, most people

61:41 if you have a venom going through system it will be nausea. All

61:49 . Yeah. Right. Yeah. ? Because your body is just saying

61:55 did you? Where did this come ? It's sitting in the very very

61:58 of my bowels. I'm going to sure I heave every inch of it

62:02 of my body and then ring it to make sure gosh. Nothing like

62:08 sick. Is there? Alright? drink too much? I'm looking at

62:13 couple of you, you drink too , you know you're you're there and

62:16 vomiting your eyeballs out. Right? your body doing? Saying the likely

62:20 is that I poisoned myself and I to get it out of my

62:24 Alright. Last little bit here. nervous system. 20 minutes. This

62:28 easy stuff. Autonomic nervous system is easiest. There are three divisions to

62:32 autonomic nervous system five years ago there two of them. So we've gotten

62:36 new one since right, sympathetic versus . And then we have the weird

62:40 . The interior system which we'll get at the very end, the sympathetic

62:44 parasympathetic. These are structures both in CNS and PNS and you can already

62:48 where the nomenclature and dropping things in gets kind of confusing and we have

62:52 put things in multiple boxes. So there's parts here, what we're

62:57 with is innovating the viscera right? governing those things which we have no

63:03 control over. All. Right. our body is doing this at a

63:07 level of regulating and monitoring what's going . Generally speaking when we talk about

63:12 and parasympathetic. There is opposition between two. So you can think of

63:16 like this one is gonna be acting a gas, one is gonna be

63:18 as a brake. That doesn't always that the sympathetic will always be gas

63:22 the parasympathetic will always be break. just means under the under the conditions

63:27 looking at which one is behaving in way. Alright. Uh They have

63:32 very very interesting um anatomical organizations. the most interesting thing that we can

63:37 out is you can identify the autonomic system in the motor side very easily

63:42 you don't have one fiber going to to that, to that distant object

63:47 that effect. Er You always have . All right. And so they

63:53 within their characteristics something that's called a . Which we'll look at here just

63:58 briefly the enteric system is those different , those inter neurons, the motor

64:03 all associated with the G. Track. So it forms its own

64:07 plexus. It acts independently or can independently of the central nervous system.

64:12 do not need to tell your body food is in it. It actually

64:17 the presence of food and actually begins process of digesting independent of any sort

64:22 communication with the central nervous system. can act with it but it also

64:28 independent of it. So we typically that's controlled by fibers that are sympathetic

64:33 parasympathetic. So it used to be just part of these two but because

64:39 acting separately and independently of the N. S. They said oh

64:43 we'll just call it its own new and just have you guys learned something

64:47 ? So here's the structure you can here. This is the target that

64:50 looking at. So there's gonna be nerve fiber that begins in the central

64:54 system. It exit out into the and then it's gonna terminate on a

64:59 fiber that then goes onto the target . So where they interact where that

65:04 occurring, this is what it's gonna called a ganglion. There's a larger

65:07 there. So the fiber going in the pre ganglion IQ. The fiber

65:11 out of the post gangly oneK Alright, that's the first thing in

65:17 of the anatomy. Remember what I is that that spinal nerve typically is

65:23 to break into three branches. We one that's called the posterior ramus that

65:26 the skin on the back and terri which forms those plexus. And I

65:30 there was a third one. The communications. My communications is what the

65:34 nervous system uses to enter into and of ganglia. Alright so these are

65:41 of like indoors and outdoors into these structures. All right So this is

65:47 a great picture because we're trying to away from the Deep Anatomy. But

65:51 can see here here is my spinal and just immediately outside of that spinal

65:57 are a series of ganglia that are on top of each other. You

66:00 see the little circles are stacked on of each other. Those little tiny

66:04 stacked on each other are referred to the pair of uh pair of

66:10 not pair of ventricular para vertebral pair of means next to right.

66:18 I just kinda want to point out there's roughly one pair of vertebral ganglion

66:23 spinal nerve. Now notice what are talking about here sympathetic? Alright so

66:28 is very specific to the sympathetic nervous . Alright what we're gonna see is

66:35 speaking, there are some major differences the parasympathetic and the sympathetic that make

66:40 easy to identify anatomically. Alright, the trunk here is made up of

66:47 para vertebral ganglia in the sympathetic So here we have our spinal cord

66:53 is our pair of vertebral uh trunk para vertebral gang lit. So it's

66:59 sympathetic trunk. And what you can here the fiber right here is ventral

67:04 fiber right? There is dorsal. these red ones are motor, the

67:07 ones going in our sensory. And we can do is you can see

67:13 have the um motor fiber comes out what it's gonna do it's gonna enter

67:19 through one of the communications. gone to a restaurant. You've seen

67:24 door to a kitchen. There's two two floppy doors. One is the

67:30 one is the outdoor. If you through the door you're gonna cause a

67:37 crash at the restaurant. Right? there's there's order to what you see

67:43 you go into a restaurant. So same thing is true. Here you

67:47 enter in through the white Remy. always exit through the gray ramos.

67:57 said ramos and ramos should be the . Alright, so We're following this

68:02 one here at number one. We in. So here's this formula spinal

68:08 . Here's Remy communications. That's the . We come in we terminate this

68:12 our ganglia. And so here is post ganglia nick fiber leaving out via

68:17 gray and then continuing back out through spinal nerve. So you see what

68:22 did here? We went in through indoor, came out through the

68:26 returned back the way we entered in kept following down the spinal nerve.

68:32 , so that's one of the things can happen when you're dealing with the

68:36 neuron. Alright, exit out, into the gangland via the white,

68:43 out via the gray and keep That's number one. I can also

68:47 up and I can go down and the kind of the same thing.

68:51 I always come in through the white I always exit through the gray.

68:54 came in through the white. I up I'm exiting out through the

68:57 All right, so I can ascend descend. And the third one.

69:01 really weird. That's alright. Is go in through the white and I

69:07 the gray. And I go out the back door and I'm gonna keep

69:12 and go on to another ganglion. further on down the line. Alright

69:18 this ganglion has a different name. should be called the pre vertebral

69:24 So the pair of vertebral is next the spinal cord. The pre vertebral

69:30 way over here someplace right? So went in through the white and I

69:36 go out the gray. I went the back door to the pre

69:43 All right. So what big who cares? Why should I care

69:46 these things? We'll one because probably be on the test, but really

69:50 one is because by understanding its you'll be able to quickly identify sympathetic

69:55 parasympathetic. So the pair of vertebral , we have the cervical ganglia.

70:02 three of them. 123. Top superior. If I have a superior

70:09 , that means I have an inferior . And if I have a third

70:13 in that chain there must be one them between them. Right? That

70:16 sense. If I if I have superior, I must have an inferior

70:21 then in this case I have So that one in the middle is

70:24 the middle. Here we have a of thoracic ganglia? Right up

70:30 up up up. So they're associated the thoracic region. And then down

70:36 we have these lumbar ganglia. And the lumbar ganglia are basically going to

70:40 going out through just like we see the thoracic, what do I

70:44 They're going out through those back doors they're going on to these pre vertebral

70:52 . All right now one of the I want to point out here there's

70:56 anatomical feature is look at the origins all the sympathetic fibers. Where are

71:00 originating from? Are they originated up in the cervical region. Are they

71:05 in the thoracic region? Are they in the lumbar region? How about

71:10 steak hold region? Alright so when hear sympathetic think back is where they're

71:19 gonna originate. Okay thoracic and lumbar the origins of sympathetic fibers, sympathetic

71:27 from there will either go up to cervical or they'll deal with that thoracic

71:31 lumbar. If I need to innovate low. I am going to travel

71:36 and get there. I'm not using . That kind of makes sense.

71:42 make a lot more sense when you at the parasympathetic? Because parasympathetic.

71:47 they originate in the thoracic? Do originate in the lumbar. Don't even

71:53 in the cervical. Where did they ? Way up here at the cranial

71:57 . And down here. So when think of the parasympathetic back of the

72:04 and your butt. So para sympathetic the two opposite ends, sympathetic is

72:11 the middle thoracic and lumbar. There go. Alright. So again,

72:19 don't want you to get bogged down all these details in the sense of

72:22 I need to memorize every single All right. But I want to

72:26 you what the pre vertebral. if you look at this, if

72:29 look at these fibers, look at line, the red line is

72:32 The blue line is long. Red is the pre ganglion fiber? The

72:37 line is the post ganglia nick So there's a feature that sympathetic fibers

72:42 short preys long posts. What do think? Parasympathetic have long preys short

72:52 . Alright, so they have Alright, now we said we have

72:57 pre ganglion IQ fibers that are pre pre vertebral ganglia that further on.

73:03 here's three of them. All We have the celiac. We have

73:06 superior Superior. Mesen terek. And here is the inferior mesons.

73:11 Okay, superior is higher than What's mesen terry? Do you guys

73:15 what the mesen terry is? It's guts. Right? And so what

73:20 is telling you is that we have region that goes to my guts,

73:25 have this other region that's further And if you look at its

73:30 So celiac is up there. Look what celiac is dealing with. So

73:33 you think of cilia or celiac, do you think of? Probably think

73:36 celiac disease? Right. Right. celiac disease it deals with digestion?

73:41 . So look at the structure that dealing with. We're dealing with the

73:45 , pancreas, the liver, also gallbladder. We're dealing with the

73:52 And as we go further down now dealing with the digestive track and the

73:56 track. Then we're down to the and down to the reproductive organs.

74:00 you see the organization here? Look top we're dealing over here. What

74:05 we dealing with higher order structures And we move down lower structures so there's

74:11 to it. Alright. But these uh ganglia, these pre vertebral ganglia

74:18 primarily with the abdominal and the big regions. So you just gotta think

74:24 in my what's in my gut. . My stomach and all the structures

74:30 . All right now this organization is to the sympathetic system. As I

74:37 out, here's the parasympathetic. We these long fibers that then are that

74:43 pre gangly. Onek then we have short post ganglion fiber. And you

74:47 see there's all these ganglia all over place. These ganglia are typically closely

74:52 with the structure that they're innovating or actually on the structure in the structure

74:56 you're innovating. So parasympathetic is gonna primarily cranial nerves and sacral nerves with

75:03 pre ganglion fibers. Short post ganglion . And we're gonna be innovating everything

75:08 the sympathetic does. So one is be an activator. One is going

75:13 be an inhibitor of whatever system you're at. Okay so I'm just I'd

75:18 these things just so that you can which kind of nerves are involved.

75:21 is not a memorization thing. Although I said you should always know vagus

75:26 . This is the most important one it just does everything in the

75:34 This is just a close up. at all the nuclear. Where are

75:36 located in the brain stem. So when we're dealing with the autonomic

75:43 system, what we're dealing with is doing a gas and a break.

75:48 just gonna see what we have. we got two slides here I think

75:52 I might actually finish on time and us up for a change. What

75:55 shocker. Alright so what I want to think about here is when you

75:59 about the autonomic nervous system, I you to imagine for a moment um

76:03 studying late at night at the Does this sound like something that you

76:06 do? All right So you you fortunate enough to arrive on campus a

76:12 bit late and so you had to in B. F. E.

76:14 know that's that parking lot. That's far away that it might as well

76:17 in Egypt. Yeah you can now seeing what B. F. Stands

76:22 you know? Anyway, here it 2:00 AM, you're leaving the library

76:30 you're walking all by yourself across our darkened campus. Alright now it used

76:36 be that the parking lots over here covered in shells. Right? And

76:39 you start walking across this parking lot you can imagine you can start hearing

76:43 you walk across the cells, a crunch of your shoes. And then

76:47 hear behind you crunch crunch crunch, crunch now, what is your response

76:53 you look back, you died, haven't watched the movies. Rule #

76:59 is we don't look back, That's that's a guarantee you're gonna

77:03 It's gonna be that close up of ah and then they find your body

77:06 next morning. Alright. No, I just I just have a great

77:12 for this too. Huh? What right smart person would do. I

77:17 walking faster, pretend like I Right, so you're going to

77:21 crunch, crunch, crunch, And then you hear those footsteps behind

77:23 again, crunch crunch crunch crunch So what's happening now to your

77:30 Heart rate starts going up a little of that sweat going on,

77:35 respiratory rate goes up actually eyes dilate for a path of of of

77:41 The other thing you're now doing is getting ready for the run or the

77:46 right? It's fight or flight that's right now you're really not going crunch

77:54 crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch crunch and then you feel that hand

77:58 your shoulder right? You turn Well we'll see that now you now

78:07 there right? You're now into right? So what are you gonna

78:10 ? You're ready to either go down or you're going to curl up in

78:13 ball in the fetal position crying you like uh you know that's the you

78:19 or you might run screaming you know escaping by wetting yourself. You know

78:25 the emergency response right? But it's best friend right? And they're like

78:30 you forgot your laptop. I just to make sure your phone, I

78:33 to make sure you got it. , so now you're ready to kill

78:37 . Right? And so do you your heart rate to return back to

78:43 quickly and get you back into normal homeostasis or do you want to just

78:48 it ride on out until all the goes away and it's like okay two

78:53 later I feel much better. Which do you think your body wants?

78:58 . Yeah. It wants to bring back out. So what you have

79:01 is when that sympathetic is going That parasympathetic is being dominated. Being

79:06 down right? And so what we here, two systems that are fighting

79:11 the same thing and one is going dominate over the other. There's not

79:14 one is on and one is They're always both on. It's just

79:17 one is dominating. So like when exercising and you're running you're sympathetic is

79:22 . You know, your respiratory your heart rate, you know,

79:26 to get you know, blood All that stuff is trying to be

79:29 regulated but it's acting as a brake on the digestive system. Right?

79:36 speaking, when you're sitting down glow being on food, your parasympathetic becomes

79:41 dominator at this point, right? it's basically saying I want to slow

79:45 my heart rate. I want to down my respiratory rate. I wanna

79:48 dilate. And what I wanna do I want to up regulate the digestive

79:52 so that I can start you know or consuming that material that I need

79:57 do. All right. I don't what this slide actually had to do

80:02 I because I thought that point was and let me just see what I

80:06 here. Oh yeah. That that a slide that I was just trying

80:09 describe the antagonism. Um I'm gonna backwards. I know. What do

80:13 have? Like a minute. Oh more slide. Um Interest basically is

80:19 what I just told you. It's peripheral. You don't need to have

80:23 the the central nervous system actually Don't require don't require that this,

80:33 maybe we'll talk about it or it's not really all that. If

80:37 skipped over it sources, I use secondary source but included something really good

80:46 it. But here's the thing. the thing is the primary source that

80:51 I like looked through the article and it forced me to the primary

80:56 it's a dot com sign. That's I was emailing. So what do

81:00 mean? It's a dot com site , like the the the the,

81:04 the was it the science page that that article and that information.
