00:06 Um So what I'm gonna do for next couple of days starting today,

00:11 going to now focus on the So what we've been doing for the

00:16 uh two weeks, we've been one the last two lectures we've looked at

00:20 uh neurons work. So the first we said, neurons and glial cells

00:24 we said, all right. how do neurons work? We talked

00:26 the great potentials and the action potentials now what we're doing is we're moving

00:30 and doing that stuff that you're OK, this stuff I love,

00:34 is gonna be uh there's, you know, quite a bit of

00:37 here. Um This is ideal if draw pictures to help you understand what's

00:43 on. And really, we're just to be kind of walking through the

00:48 parts of the brain, pointing out different things that they do. So

00:51 starting point here is uh the entire nervous system, the central nervous system

00:57 is the brain and the spinal All right. And so when you

01:01 of the brain, you really think this a big large structure, this

01:04 large structure kind of look like like a mushroom, I guess.

01:09 , just a small portion of All right. Technically, this is

01:13 tele which you don't even know. making it easy for you, but

01:17 is the cerebra. All right. so if you think of the

01:21 it really has these four different It has a cerebrum, which is

01:24 larger structure, cerebellum, which is small structure that pays off the back

01:29 . We have the brain stem, is what is going to become uh

01:32 spinal cord and then the area between brain stem and the cerebrum, which

01:36 we slide from half, you can uh that is the die phal and

01:42 gonna come back and we're gonna look these in more detail, but just

01:45 kind of give you a sense of we're going, we're going to be

01:48 of working from that larger structure of cerebrum. And we're gonna work downwards

01:52 the spinal cord. So having said we can kind of say, all

01:59 . Well, what does the brain like? What does this look

02:02 Well, this room is divided into halves. And so we, what

02:05 say is that there's these uh two , there's a left hemisphere in the

02:08 hemisphere, not really easy to see from the view. Uh uh up

02:13 , actually, that's a view of room from the bottom side. So

02:16 can see the brain in the And then from the top, this

02:19 what it looks like. And you literally see those two hemispheres fairly

02:24 And then, of course, if look at the cerebrum itself, and

02:28 look at each of the individual uh anatomists have uh broken down these

02:33 these, these hemispheres into separate And so what we say is that

02:39 are five lobes uh back when I it depends on actually who you talk

02:43 . If you talk to an there's , uh most people just kind of

02:47 say there's four, but we're going go with the five. And so

02:50 are really, really easy. All , they named, except for the

02:54 one, are named for the bones cover them. So we have the

02:56 lobe, we have the parietal we have the occipital lobe, we

02:59 the temporal lobes. And so there's on each half. And then if

03:02 take the temporal lobe and you seating the frontal lobe, that's where you're

03:08 find the insulate. It kind of inside and in between, which is

03:12 it's kind of like not a real lobe. So the insula is the

03:16 that's kind of hidden away uh in . We're gonna come back and we'll

03:20 pictures of this a little bit So this is our organization, all

03:24 , five lobes they represent where the that cover them, frontal parietal occipital

03:30 and then the one that doesn't make , which is the insula, which

03:33 hidden underneath structurally speaking, anatomies have at the brain and, oh,

03:40 , they are landmarks. And so going to name the landmarks. The

03:43 are uh uh in real simple terms these three basic structure, the

03:49 the sulcus and the fissure. All . Uh the plural of gyri,

03:54 plural or the and really what, you have done is as they're trying

03:59 map the different parts of the they use these structures to help them

04:05 their location with regard to the All right. So a gyro simply

04:10 a bulge. So every time you at one of these things and you

04:13 the bump portion that's a gyrus and between the bumps between the bulges are

04:19 sulka. So these are just kind these depressions in between. And then

04:24 they have these deeper poles which are to as the fissures. Now,

04:29 distinguishes and how do you define, is which uh that's a harder

04:34 I think initially they were just saying really, really deep ones are the

04:38 and then some of the fissures, gone back and renamed the Sulka.

04:41 just whatever they point to and but in a real general sense,

04:46 in Sulka are the ones that go . The ones that bulge upward are

04:51 Gyrus or the Gyri. Excuse me , we haven't used a lot of

04:59 anatomical terms, but there is one specific for neuron anatomy, right?

05:04 two terms that are specific for rostro versus pole we've talked about versus

05:11 before we don't collect it. I tend to be very, very uh

05:15 vernacular terminology here. But and are terms that should appear in uh uh

05:21 atom issues. And really what they're to is location similar to an post

05:27 versus dorsal. And it's uh towards nose would be rostral and coddle is

05:32 the tail. And so you can about your brain is like,

05:36 so the rostral portion is towards the and then this is back towards the

05:41 end of your body. So that be coddled. So if you're doing

05:44 or dissection, that's how you refer where um you know, these structures

05:51 to each other. That's a rostral . That's a coddle structure. So

05:56 familiar with those. I probably just it on there and say what is

05:59 ? I'm not gonna ask you what rostral to this. Um But the

06:02 is, can you use that So if you look at um if

06:10 look at the brain, basically, divide it into two different areas,

06:14 have gray matter and white matter. simply put gray matter um is where

06:21 you going to find the cell bodies structures? Are the cell bodies and

06:26 dendrites of cells. So when you're about neurons, really, that's where

06:31 gonna find their cell bodies where light is, these areas where you're gonna

06:35 axons traveling between points. And the white matter is white is because most

06:40 our axons typically are covered by one glial cells, but specifically starts with

06:49 M and with my, there you see. Um and so my is

06:54 a cell that's wrapped itself. I , my is basically cell um structure

06:59 wrapped around the Axon and basically it's . Have you ever been to a

07:04 ? Well, probably not a Haven't even been to the grocery store

07:07 looked at meat. All right. you go. That's the easy way

07:10 , to get the butchers nowadays, ? When you go, look at

07:14 nice piece of eye, rib, is very, very marbled. It

07:18 lots of fat in it. What see if you have red meat and

07:22 marbled with what color white. All , fat is white. Myelin is

07:30 fat. So, white matter is because it's primarily fat. It's basically

07:36 fossil lipids of those other cells. so that's why I'm saying that gray

07:40 doesn't look really gray. It's really of a beige, but I guess

07:45 didn't have a term for that. basically you have this beige area and

07:50 whiter beige area. All right. so that's what these two areas

07:54 gray matter represents um uh the cell , whereas the axons are going to

08:00 represented by this white matter. if you look at the uh central

08:05 system, what you're going to see that there's a high degree of organization

08:08 to where you're gonna find cell bodies where you're gonna find axons. In

08:12 words, the gray matter and the matter are in very specific locations.

08:16 so what they've done right here, can see that they're trying to show

08:21 different slices, right? So the V, so there's a slice of

08:27 cerebra, there's a slice of the skin, there's a slice of the

08:30 stem again and then here's a slice the spinal cord. And if you

08:36 at this, you can see, example, here is the spinal cord

08:40 out here you can see white matter the inside. That's where the gray

08:46 . All right. So in this , co gray matter is found centrally

08:52 then outside of that gray matter is white map. So you can imagine

08:56 here is where cell bodies are So that means we're going to have

09:01 of information white matter is where you're have a, so that's where information

09:06 traveling. So this is where we're to apply the tracks. In other

09:09 , the the the material that where information be sent up and down or

09:13 and right in the as you move . So here we are in modulo

09:22 you can see there is a great again. All right, this right

09:27 is a, there's a central canal there. It's hard to see.

09:30 then you see all this white matter then embedded in the white matter.

09:35 , our areas of gray matter. even at the level when we do

09:40 brain where we have gray matter that's central located with white matter on the

09:46 . And then as you move up the cerebrum, you can see that

09:50 gray matter so symmetrical, they kind paired in the center there and then

09:55 see these of gray matter everywhere. that would be that internal, internal

10:00 matter surrounded by white matter, which the lighter stuff. But then once

10:05 look at the cerebrum on the you have another group of gray

10:09 So it's kind of like the gray , white matter gray matter. And

10:13 what's happened now is that we, needed more areas of process. So

10:19 the street, we have lots and of processing to take place. And

10:22 what's happened is is that we've reorganized great amount of conscious system that you've

10:27 more cells on the outside. So more processing this is referred to as

10:31 cortex. So when you think of cerebral cortex, you're thinking of that

10:36 layer of gray matter inside would be matter and then you have these other

10:41 of gray matter, those other areas gray matter are called nuclei.

10:46 nuclei in the central nervous system refers areas of cell bodies where processing is

10:53 place surrounded by brain matter or surrounded by black matters. I'm

10:59 of course, cerebellum, the cerebellum kind of the same thing, gray

11:03 , central white matter, gray matter the outside, you know, it

11:07 cortex as well. All right. when you think gray matter, what

11:12 you thinking, what do you think bodies processing information? Do you think

11:19 white matter? What do you think Axons tracks, whatever. And then

11:24 thinking of information traveling. All How do you guys with all the

11:39 announcements? Like, you know, , your brain on drugs and stay

11:43 from stuff? You did? Did do that? We had the frying

11:47 with the eggs in it. You probably into the frying pans with the

11:51 ? All right, you want to your brain, right? How many

11:55 are to death of, of uh because of all of, you

12:02 death, concussions. I mean, , I mean, when we were

12:05 , when I was a kid, was no such thing as a

12:09 You wore bicycle helmets if you're riding and only if you're doing stunts,

12:15 ? Nowadays, you get on a , you have to wear your

12:18 you have to put on your You have your mom right up to

12:22 it's ok. Yeah. Sure it . Some people are smart. They

12:29 the brain support, which are Yeah. Good news. Her body

12:34 protects her brain does a really good of it too. There's actually multiple

12:39 of protection. But what we say that there's four levels of protection.

12:43 , the obvious one is gonna be bone. All right, we have

12:46 uranium. We've already talked about it the, you have the and so

12:51 , that protects it there and in of the spinal cord, you have

12:55 OK. And so we have this hard shell that, that serves to

13:00 the squishy inside. What kind how do you guys have a sense

13:09 how soft the tissue of the brain ? Anyone have any idea? Anyone

13:13 seen a brain? It's like That's actually a good way to put

13:18 the way that I, the best I can describe it. It's

13:21 uh, have you guys ever worked margarine or butter? All right.

13:26 what it's like. I mean, literally is, it's, it's soft

13:31 squishy. And you know, if , if you guys watch Big Bang

13:34 , I mean, you'll see every and then Amy working on a sheep

13:38 . She actually has a phd in . The actress does, she was

13:43 , she was a teen actress and went on and got her P D

13:46 neuroscience. And then they hired her the show, just like, on

13:50 women. So that's how they kept on. But she actually had her

13:52 D in neuroscience. And so whenever see her working on her brain,

13:56 stuff that she actually did, you , kind of cool, I

14:00 I don't know, maybe. All . But anyway, but when you

14:03 the picture, I mean, when see them working on the brain,

14:05 kind of hard and stiff and you think, well, why is

14:08 Well, they fixed it in basically formal. It is, is

14:12 they fix this tissue. And so hard and stiff. That's not what

14:15 brain is like. It literally just apart like warm butter. And so

14:20 need to have these structures to hold in place to make sure it doesn't

14:25 kind of ooze everywhere. All So that's kind of the outer portion

14:30 that crane that bone that serves to . All right. Now, surrounding

14:37 actual tissue itself issue is what are three layers of, of?

14:45 just I just call that they're called meninges. All right. Singular form

14:49 Meninx M E N I N So if you see me say

14:52 that's what you're referring to. So gonna have three protected membranes that,

14:57 protect and then embedded between those membranes surrounding the brain itself. We're gonna

15:03 cerebral spinal fluid, which is basically layer of fluid that surrounds and protects

15:09 brain. And then we're gonna have third layer or sorry, 1/4

15:14 uh the form layer, which is to as the blood brain barrier.

15:18 , the blood brain varies a little different. What we're doing here is

15:21 so much of a physical barrier, it is a physical barrier, but

15:25 not like the other ones with regard trauma, but it's a physical barrier

15:30 prevent materials from moving from the blood the surreal stuff or into the uh

15:38 tissue. And so it's not only , but it's also a barrier that

15:44 kind of like a as a chemical . It prevents uh foreign substances like

15:49 , viruses and other things, but just chemicals. Uh some very simple

15:55 like water can be very damaging to brain tissue because now what you're doing

16:00 you're altering ion concentrations and the cells properly behave. So we'll talk about

16:06 of these, um as we go , but we're gonna ignore the

16:09 just know that the bones are in outer layer. Um And that they

16:13 as an a detective barrier. They're of your helmets. All right

16:19 with regard to the meninges. Um easy way to think about this is

16:24 there are three layers and from the or the outside based on their

16:28 they create a path to protect. would say, working outside inside,

16:33 that makes absolutely no sense. So inner layer is called the P A

16:38 . The middle layer is called the matter. And then the outer layer

16:43 the dura matter. All right. we're gonna be kind of working

16:47 we're going to, to dura which going inside to outside. All

16:53 So with regard to the P A , all right, I'm creating this

16:57 , the matter is very, very , it's uh highly, highly

17:02 In other words, it is the barrier um that covers the surface of

17:08 brain. It is actually so thin so fine that you can actually follow

17:13 gyro, the gyrus and the sulky you move up and down. So

17:18 can imagine um with regard to this hard to see the color here.

17:24 . If you look right there, that battery, there's a little Permal

17:28 , the purple line goes down with surface, it comes out and just

17:32 falling along and it comes down and back out. So that would be

17:37 PM F that's closely adhered to the tissue. And this is what allows

17:42 small blood vessels to stay very, close with the nervous tissue and ultimately

17:48 into the nervous tissue so that the can be delivered to it. All

17:54 . But this is that that right? And we say it's

17:57 highly vascularized. So you're gonna have small blood vessels that are located

18:04 Now, the layer that lies above is called the, why do you

18:09 they call it the er, say , it's web like all right,

18:17 spiders, right? Arachnids. This where the brain spiders live. One

18:24 smiled at that. Anyone here have spiders? Well, let's find out

18:31 see the cartoon, the right one also vascularized actually in between. This

18:38 the matter Here. There is you see the space and then right

18:42 is where the matter actually my work time I came. All right,

19:01 a few. So right here, the erect, ok. This

19:08 And you can see we have the in between inside the space. You

19:12 all these little tiny trabi, little fibers that are holding these two things

19:18 . This is why we make the uh uh uh matter because it had

19:23 these trabi looks like a spider All right. So this was it

19:27 the area where the brain spiders? right. Now, the space right

19:32 is actually called the subarachnoid space. lies below the arachnoid. So if

19:36 have the erect, you have the space, then you have the

19:42 the rear space is gonna be filled spinal. And then as you can

19:48 , we travel up and then we these penetrations right here that penetrate through

19:54 dura matter and into what are called dual sinuses. Now, the neural

20:01 , we'll get to in just a , but in essence, this is

20:03 to be filled with blood that's going be returning back to the heart.

20:05 blood that has come into the brain provide nutrients and stuff is now leaving

20:10 going back to the heart. So can get its oxygen back in the

20:13 and the nutrients that it travels through body. In essence, what's happening

20:17 is we are penetrating into that so we, the certain fluid that we're

20:23 can actually have a way to leave blood brain and be recycled.

20:29 So this structure that's penetrated is called all right. So, so

20:36 Space, there's the space, the tiny uh webs are the trabi.

20:47 then finally, um uh this is you can see in here you can

20:52 there's the vein, there's an these are the things that are going

20:56 be dividing and again, the arteries getting smaller and smaller so that they

21:00 penetrate through the P A matter. outer layer is the dura matter and

21:07 actually two layers and this is something you can actually experience at home.

21:11 , you have like, yeah, . Go pull one out and go

21:17 with it, tug on it, on it, stretch it and stuff

21:20 that. That's what the dura matter like. Very, very tough,

21:24 elastic. Doesn't have a lot of to it. In essence, it's

21:28 serves as this outer layer. There's layers to this. All right,

21:32 can see the uh uh the outer which is gonna be the per ocular

21:38 to next to the bone layer. then you have over here the men

21:43 and you can see how it separates . But notice that it just kind

21:47 covers the brain. It doesn't follow the, all the the soul and

21:51 gyrus right here. This is a fissure. And so it's forming what

21:55 is called the false ring, which get to in just a moment.

21:58 in essence, it's otherwise, it kind of overlays the entire structure.

22:03 right. Now, where are these layers separate right here. That's where

22:08 gonna get the formations of the All right. And this structure now

22:15 creates this large pulling area. This the sinus that allows for blood that's

22:21 the brain to ultimately pull before it down through a vein back to the

22:27 . All right. And as I with the erect vili once again right

22:39 , that's how you're moving cerebral spinal from the subarachnoid space back into the

22:46 . Now, the duo as this structure to help maintain the shape of

22:55 brain to maintain the hemispheres so that brain doesn't move around all that

22:59 And so what we end up with these structures, these extensions that allow

23:04 brain to kind of sit. All . So partitions the brain and holds

23:09 in place. All right. And are what I referred to as

23:12 and there are four cranial dual that need to know. Uh you can

23:16 their names up here, the, belly, the cera belly and the

23:23 . All right. Now you're looking that, you're going, those are

23:25 scary words and I don't know, don't even know my right. Let's

23:34 this somewhere sri what do you think has to refer to Serero?

23:40 there you go. There's the easy . And the cere belly cerebellum.

23:44 right. So you already know that , the name is probably located.

23:49 think the Bella Cerebella is located or with the cerebellum and the Cerebri is

23:56 with? Ok. So, so we're halfway there. Now you're sitting

24:00 looking at, I know Fox is . So whenever I don't know

24:05 I just, you know, type in my computer pops up. Fox

24:09 sickle. You guys know what Sickle . All right. It's Halloween

24:14 You should know what Sickle is because of the main characters of Halloween is

24:18 . This is a big black world that walks around with a sickle,

24:24 ? That big whole thing. And he doing? The reaper is reaping

24:28 the sickle to cut down well, the case of death. Life,

24:34 basically to mow down wheat All And the shape of a sickle.

24:39 did one in? And it gets and then at the other end,

24:45 do you think the fox and the cere belly were named after? I

24:49 , based on that, the shape gonna stare at you until you nod

24:55 head one way or the other. . There we go. Ok.

24:58 . All right. So you can there, it has this kind of

25:01 like a, all right. So all right. What about tentorium?

25:05 do you think? Tentorium has to with, if you had to guess

25:10 I put a gun to your head said your life or death question here

25:14 what do you think? Tentorium has do with? What would you

25:22 Oh, this, here's the God, 10 Tory. Um

25:32 10 covering tents. And they look a tent. Where do you think

25:39 came from? Some guys are sitting saying let's find a four letter word

25:43 means camping, Tito to cover. right. And the last one diaphragm

25:51 Sally. That's a little bit more . Diaphragm. It is something that

25:57 a whole Sally seat. All Yeah. Do you do? I

26:04 have a look of Latin literally never anything, but I don't, I

26:11 up the dim. So we, gonna look here in just a

26:16 basically shows there's a hole that allows indium of the anterior. So I

26:24 want to point out the names are tell you what they do or what

26:26 look like. And if you don't it just kind of look it up

26:28 oh yeah. All right. So false Cerebri, you can see it

26:32 here. It's a big structure. , it goes right down the central

26:36 . And what you're doing is you're creating the division between the left and

26:39 right hemisphere, right. So your and right hemisphere are defined by that

26:45 cerebri. All right. Now, the false rumor, we have two

26:53 that are important. All right, have the inferior and we have the

26:58 sagittal sinus. Now sale should make because we've learned the term stale.

27:04 so here we go, we got up here and one down there.

27:10 are your two sinuses. Which one you think is superior? The one

27:15 top, right? Because superior means . No, that means above.

27:21 right. So we have the we have the inferior saul. And

27:27 are the structure that are gonna ultimately blood away from the brain and join

27:31 before they leave the tentorium. Cerebelli can see here, right? So

27:39 , you can see right there. your cerebellum that right there is a

27:45 cerebellum. All right. So notice it's doing. It's separating the cerebrum

27:50 the cerebellum. All right, that's structure. Now, within the

27:56 you can see here that we have transverse sign. So it's very easy

28:00 . You can see right in there will be the. So what we're

28:06 is we're bringing the Satur sinuses together a transverse sinus and they're gonna join

28:12 and allow blood to escape together. we have the Falk cere belly right

28:21 . They're showing you and, and can imagine it comes down to that

28:26 , that'd be the air. And lastly is the diaphragm celli, which

28:32 not an easy thing to see right here. See that big giant

28:40 All right. That, sorry, should be there. That right there

28:45 where the uh pituitary gland sits down that bone. Um I'm just gonna

28:51 it right in there. Now, gonna come back to it later.

28:53 is one of the most important glands your body and it sits about this

28:56 . All right. Literally, it's little itsy bitsy tiny thing. It

28:59 like a little tiny upside down button . All right. And you'll learn

29:03 this a little bit later because it pumps out every single solitary important hormone

29:08 your body. That's where it's located it actually hangs down and goes through

29:15 diaphragm cell. Now, last thing have sinus, you can see it

29:21 be, it would be coming down direction. You can see that in

29:28 fall. So, structurally what we here is we've got four different dia

29:33 not diaphragms, four different membranes that up the brain. All right,

29:39 have a couple of sinuses that we to know and it shows how blood

29:43 leaving out through the brain. Questions this so far. Do you think

29:50 could draw these? You think you identify him? Hm. Yeah.

30:03 . So during development development and this not so important in terms of you

30:11 to know the development. But during , uh the brain actually forms as

30:16 tube. All right, you create is called the neural tube and then

30:19 develops on creates all these very interesting and because it forms as a

30:24 what that means it has a hollow . All right, this hollow center

30:30 what ultimately becomes the central canal in spinal cord and what becomes the ventricles

30:35 the brain. Now, the ventricles the brain, their job is to

30:41 CS f cerebral spinal fluid. All . And so we have these ventricles

30:46 you can see in our little cartoons , that's the kind of thing that

30:49 like these horns, it's centrally And within these structures, we have

30:54 special glial cell called the cell. dial cell is what is responsible for

31:02 the cerebral spinal fluid. All So they're closely associated with the uh

31:06 the blood. Uh they, these , they take material of water and

31:11 materials from the blood and that's why need the cerebral spinal fluid and they

31:15 it into the ventricles. Now, are four ventricles, the four ventricles

31:20 interconnected because this is one long tube has been kind of malformed to create

31:25 structures. All right. And so easy way to look at this is

31:28 kind of walk through them from top bottom. So we have both a

31:33 and a right lateral ventricle. So the first one. So it's a

31:37 structure and you can see here kind what it looks like from the front

31:42 . All right. But from the , you can see it these longer

31:46 . All right. And then between , you can see how they connect

31:51 there. All right, they're gonna down and they're going to form this

31:56 here. That is the third So between the third ventricle and the

32:01 ventricles is the interpret ventricular for that's the connection between them. All

32:07 . So Framan means whole inter between . So in interventricular para down to

32:14 third ventricle, the third ventricle right continues down to the fourth ventricle that

32:22 down is called the cerebral aqueduct. right. So third ventricle communicates with

32:29 fourth ventricle via the cerebral aqueduct. , the fourth ventricle lies here between

32:36 brain and uh uh cerebellum and there's couple of holes from which cerebral spinal

32:43 can leave and go into the subarachnoid . These holes are called aperture.

32:50 we have lateral apertures, lateral apertures be on the lateral side. So

32:54 one on the left and one on right. And then we have a

32:57 aperture that's right there. And that fluid to escape behind or below uh

33:04 cerebellum. And then that, that for the ventricle continues downward as the

33:11 canal just keeps going down and down down until it reaches the bottom of

33:14 spinal cord. And now you're opened into the sub space. So what

33:21 have here is a structure in which spinal fluid is going to be

33:25 It goes from lateral ventricles to the ventricle, third ventricle to the fourth

33:29 , fourth ventricle down out and And so we're dealing with the

33:33 out and around is the subarachnoid So this is kind of putting it

33:42 . Well, it actually you can the, the um the ventricles here

33:47 this right there, that would be third ventricle. This right here is

33:51 portion of the lateral ventricle and there the fourth and what you're looking at

33:57 is that uh view where you can the sub in space, it goes

34:06 the way around and it covers and the entire brain, it covers and

34:11 the entire spinal cord. And so cerebral spinal fluid is simply a clear

34:18 fluid. That's uh you know, arises from the ependymal cells fluid that

34:26 been taken from the blood cause other that are and has been reduced in

34:32 ventricles and ultimately filling and circulating around that space. It's constantly being reduced

34:40 it's constantly being surrounding the brain. it kind of serves as a

34:45 And what we say is that there more fun that provides buoyancy to the

34:51 . It provides protection and it provides in terms of the environment for the

34:58 . So let's kind of expand on and see what what we move by

35:05 . With regard to buoyancy, the has all these materials in it that

35:10 it density. And in fact, density of this fluid is roughly the

35:15 as the brain. So when you the brain and you put it,

35:20 put it right now, obviously, is just going to be kind of

35:26 all the way around the brain. if you were to take a jug

35:29 spinal fluid, I guess a I don't know the container of cerebral

35:32 fluid and you put the brain and you put it on top, the

35:34 would sit on top. If you that brain and put it at the

35:37 , it would just sit there. you took the brain and suck in

35:39 middle, it would just sit there that very reason because it has the

35:44 and just hold and maintains the position the brain. All right.

35:49 this is advantageous because remember the brain mass to it. And so if

35:55 take something and it has the same of voice, the same sort of

35:59 removes the weight, right? And what you've done is you basically effectively

36:04 the weight of the brain by Now, this is beneficial because if

36:10 brain has mass, gravity acts on and what what happened is is because

36:14 told you the nature of the what kind of tissue it look

36:17 It's like warm butter, right? remember if you can think about the

36:23 , we have a big giant frame magnet back here in the back.

36:26 it had weight, what would gravity ? It pulled the brain down a

36:31 , right? And so basically your would end up at the bottom of

36:33 back and it just be would be . So this helps support the

36:38 it keeps it in place and no has weight, it serves as a

36:51 . This is terrible as you have um liquid inside their structures.

37:02 so what happens are your shock absorbers have liquid inside them? And so

37:05 happens is is when you have a that is mostly water, it's

37:10 And so what happens is is that can absorb energy very, very

37:15 And that's what the the sock So part of the reason you run

37:20 on and stuff, stuff and not completely damaged because that water absorbs a

37:25 of that energy and disperses it outward around, right, in terms of

37:32 stability, this is a little bit complex. And so there is this

37:39 relationship between the spinal fluid and the fluid surrounding the nervous tissue. And

37:46 this means is is that uh as neurons and stuff produce waste, it

37:50 quickly shuttle that waste into that extracellular . And then from the extracellular

37:57 it can quickly move in the rib from the brain and you can move

38:04 very, very quickly. And as can imagine, if you're trying to

38:08 stability, you want to have things . And so by removing waste,

38:13 maintaining that normal environment. So that's of what this allows you to move

38:22 very quickly to and from the tissue , the mechanisms that is doing.

38:29 um I don't want to get it's a little bit complex and uh

38:34 , it's, it's like I it's, it's, it's interesting but

38:37 , it's just complex. Um The thing I'd say is that in terms

38:42 chemical fluc fluctuation. So for when your cells are very, very

38:47 , they actually by a small And so what happens is is that

38:53 has an effect on the surrounding Basically, it reduces the amount of

38:59 that's available around the cells, which you effectively increase osmolarity, which can

39:04 detrimental to how the cells function And the cerebral spinal fluid helps to adjust

39:09 those chemical fluctuations. That would be example of that. But like I

39:14 , it's a little complex now how go about making this stuff. All

39:20 , you can see in our little up here, there we go right

39:24 there. That is inside, this our third vegetable. There's our later

39:29 , begin with a later vegetable and can see it there and damp.

39:32 the fourth for this structure is called plexus coro plexus is uh a specialized

39:41 of the P A matter where you the blood vessels penetrating very, very

39:47 to the surface of the ventricle and the PM matter in these areas are

39:54 whole structure. But it this is those caps are located. And so

39:59 happening is is that you're bringing the right next to where it needs to

40:04 . So these are ependymal cells that be a capillary, this would be

40:09 inside of a ventricle. And so happening is these ependymal cells are pulling

40:15 and other nutrients and other solute out the blood and moving it out into

40:20 ventricle forming the cerebral spinal fluid, ? That's the structure. That's what

40:28 doing now, with regard to what woman loves response. It's very,

40:33 similar to plasma. All right. it looks like the fluid that you

40:38 in the blood. The difference is that we're being very, very selective

40:42 terms of what we're pulling out. the ion concentrations are fluctuating. All

40:48 . There's very few proteins just like expect but the ions and stuff,

40:51 it doesn't look exactly like plasma. similar to plasma, but there are

40:56 and stuff that have varying concentrations. right. So we're being made here

41:06 the lads, we're being made here the third, in the third

41:10 We're being made here in the fourth . So the flow of cerebral spinal

41:14 would be from here, the lateral the interventricular down to the third ventricle

41:20 through this uh uh cerebral AUC down the fourth ventricle, put it out

41:25 the median or the lateral apertures and down through the central canal. And

41:31 we're out of, of those either through the apertures or out,

41:35 , that's the sub on space and are flowing away from the central area

41:42 the dual sinuses. And you can there's a dual sinus and what we

41:47 with those neural sinuses are those aid . So we're constantly producing the cerebral

41:53 fluid. It's constantly being pushed away its uh side of of of production

41:59 it's being pushed to where it can once again and join back to the

42:05 . So the Arachnoid vili serve kind the exit point if the, if

42:09 choroid plexus is the entry point to the uh cerebral spinal fluid the Arachnoid

42:15 serve as the exit point for where cerebral spinal fluid goes back to the

42:22 . Does that make sense? You're at me like no, well,

42:29 kind of look through it again. , let's see. No,

42:35 no, no. You make about and 20 or the total volume of

42:40 100 and 25 to 100 and 50 . Uh Anyone here have a

42:44 a water bottle. You know, know my, well, my laser

42:53 sucks. I can barely see it . Um We actually we here,

42:59 , microphone. Yeah. How far did it die? Oh, just

43:12 I just, when I talk. , great. All right. So

43:15 up your bottle real quick. All . How much is this bottle?

43:21 . That's, that's a good American . What's a good scientific answer?

43:27 a liter, which is milk. body produces that much on a daily

43:34 . How much do you have with to the things up there on the

43:39 ? 125 to 100 and 50 mils . So at any given time is

43:44 around that is one quarter of that that trip to you have, you

43:50 literally replacing your triple. So on daily basis for time, right?

43:57 that make sense? Good? So you're constantly producing the cerebral spinal

44:08 , you're constantly making it as it from the lateral ventricle, from the

44:14 ventricles into the third ventricle, it's made in the third ventricle along with

44:18 ventricle, it's moving from the third down to the fourth ventricle from the

44:22 ventricle to also being made. And it's going out through those apertures,

44:27 into the subarachnoid space, down through central canal and out into the subarachnoid

44:32 and it's exiting because if I'm constantly it, that means it's going to

44:36 making more and more and more it's to be expanding outward, right?

44:39 so I've got to get rid of because especially if I'm making enough to

44:43 the amount of cerebral spinal fluid, have four times over on a daily

44:48 . And so that's what the erect vili serve as it's the place where

44:51 cerebral spinal fluid returns back to the . Now, how do we get

44:58 go wherever? Well, pretty the ependymal cells they have silly on

45:04 surface and because you have SIA, sit there and they eat it.

45:09 they're pushing SPS in a particular Secondly, because you set up

45:17 sit up straight, basically your posture in a particular direction. So postural

45:28 play a role. The third thing plays a role we put, we're

45:33 pressure. And so there's roughly a millimeters of mercury pressure gradient that drives

45:39 from where it's being made to where exiting. It's not a lot of

45:43 , but it's just enough. So why it's going in that particular

45:55 Now, the blood rain here it the last level of protection. All

46:06 . And the purpose of the blood barrier, as I mentioned, it's

46:09 physical barrier, but it's also a barrier. And its purpose is to

46:16 that material can cause damage to the . The nervous system in the nervous

46:21 are not going to be allowed anywhere those cells. All right.

46:28 what it does is that we're gonna um we're going to allow for this

46:32 exchange of materials through these cells so we can selectively say this is something

46:37 we need or this is something that don't want at all. So we're

46:40 selective as to what's going to pass that barrier. And you can see

46:44 the reason for this in the brain fluid is gonna be have effects.

46:51 is where I that will make you nervous. OK. You guys remember

46:57 the week came out, I I told you this story. No.

47:01 . So the we came out what 2008, 2006, 2006 and it

47:07 a sensation. No one expected how we would sell. I mean,

47:12 I mean, you had P S SPS two was out at the same

47:15 and, and everyone thought P S was going to be the dominant the

47:18 xbox, whichever version at the Where they're fighting each other and the

47:22 got released and no one expected how the wii was gonna be. You

47:27 not find a wii in the country save your life unless you're sitting

47:31 I could care less about video games whatnot. But it's important to the

47:36 because, because of the popular of wii, there were contests and there

47:41 giveaways and all sorts of things going And there was this particular contest in

47:46 California that was taking place and it called the, I don't know what

47:50 was called, but I always think as the Peaceful We Contest. Don't

47:55 my story. Ok. See, already know this story. All

48:02 but the rest of them don't. the purpose of this contest was drink

48:07 bunch of water, hold your urine long as you can and the person

48:11 holds it the longest gets to win weed. You've heard of these types

48:17 contests, right? I mean, kind of like the big pickup

48:19 everyone has to touch the truck, person touching the truck wins. And

48:23 mean, these things can go on hours, you know, and part

48:26 the strategy is figuring out ways to the person to, you know,

48:30 up. So you're like sitting next the person and drink a bunch of

48:32 . Think the waterfalls, think of water, showers, tinkle,

48:39 tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, tinkle , you know, whatever it

48:41 Right. And so what happened is , people have to go to the

48:45 are gonna run. They don't get win the week. Well, in

48:48 particular case, they had this small woman who was trying to get the

48:52 and I don't know what the fluid they had to drink, but she

48:55 all this water very, very quickly with everybody else, you know,

48:59 for the contest. And of when you drink water, your body

49:03 trying to find places to put All right. So it's going to

49:06 throughout the entire body. All So remember when you drink it goes

49:10 the digestive system from the digestive it goes to the cardiovascular, from

49:13 cardiovascular. It gets distributed among all tissues. Well, the blood brain

49:19 is not particularly effective against water because goes wherever there is a higher concentration

49:26 solute, right? That's just typical . And one of the places it

49:30 was to the brain and because it to the brain, it diluted out

49:35 solute she needed in order to get heart to be properly, in order

49:38 her to breathe properly. In what happened was she had heart

49:43 congestive heart failure and she had respiratory because she drowned in the water in

49:48 own body. The blood brain barrier to prevent things like that from

49:54 But obviously, water is not one the things that it can stop the

49:59 main barrier serves to protect you from that can cause you harm, could

50:06 walk. So very, very very important structure. So we say

50:14 it's an anatomical barrier that would be physical barrier. And we say it's

50:19 physiological barrier. Now, you're all about the people of the contest and

50:24 , oh, I better watch how drink my water. So what do

50:27 mean that it's anatomical? Well, talking at a very small level.

50:31 we're talking at the cellular level here that as the capillary, this is

50:36 early on the development as caps run , what happens is astrocytes come along

50:41 they connect with and attach to the surface of the capillaries. And what

50:47 do is they communicate with each other astrocytes tell the capillaries. Hey,

50:52 need you to tight tight junctions. so the capillaries do now throughout your

50:59 body capillaries have junctions between the cells the epithelium, what we call endothelium

51:06 the capillaries, but the tight junctions your body are fairly loose.

51:13 In other words, they're leaky type , which is kind of an

51:18 but that's just what we refer to as. All right. And so

51:21 we say that they're leaky, that you allow materials to pass in between

51:25 particular type junctions. You can think it like this if you were to

51:28 water and put it in your hands put your fingers like so would water

51:32 out? Yeah, because you don't tight points between all your fingers.

51:39 , there are some places where water leak through. All right. So

51:43 would be an example of what's going throughout the body in terms of

51:47 But in the brain, what happens these astrocytes tell the capillaries, these

51:52 cells make these junctions tight, so can leak through. And by doing

51:57 now what you've done is you force that wants to pass in through,

52:02 the, into the or leave the , it has to pass through the

52:07 , the endothelium of the capillaries. other words, you have to go

52:12 the cell, you can't go between cells. And the only way that's

52:15 happen is if you have the right and the right uh carriers to move

52:20 across the cell. Now, on of that, you have a very

52:25 basement membrane, right? Remember basement is simply the glyco proteins that are

52:32 by the cells, the epithelium and connective tissue behind them. And that's

52:37 they connect to each other. So you have now is you don't have

52:40 little tiny thin basement membrane, you a thick basement membrane, which means

52:45 you pass through the cell, now have to wind your way through all

52:50 material. And if you're too big going to get stuck and then you're

52:52 going to get through. So it what actually can pass through. And

52:57 on the other side of that basement is, are the astrocytes, which

53:01 also close associated with what you see these pictures. And so you can

53:05 of see here what you have to through. If you are a molecule

53:10 the blood trying to get into the , you have to pass through the

53:13 of capillary, you have to pass the base membrane, then you have

53:16 pass through the astrocyte. And in for that to happen, you have

53:19 have to have the right carrier, right molecule to grab you, move

53:23 across each of those cells and eventually you to pass into the nervous

53:30 So it's an anatomical barrier. It is a gauntlet of cell to cell

53:35 cell in order to pass through. if there's nothing to allow you to

53:41 , you're not getting in. the reason water can pass through is

53:46 water can pass between cells and through without a carrier. And that's why

53:52 , I like using the weak All right. How many of you

53:55 are planning on pharmacology? In other , you're planning pharmacy school one,

54:00 all liars. I know there's more one person in here planning on

54:04 All right. So here's the question you're brave enough to raise your

54:08 All right, if you're prescribing a not prescribing, but if you have

54:14 drug that is gonna work on the , what type of drug do you

54:19 it's gonna be? Do you think gonna be water soluble or lipid

54:25 Lipid, soluble? Why if it's sub, is it ever going to

54:30 through the, uh, the cell ? No, but if it's lipid

54:35 , what's it gonna do? La , la la la, I can

54:38 wherever I want. Yeah. So anything that's acting on the brain is

54:43 look. So that's the anatomical And you can see the answer is

54:49 there too. OK. Answers are on the board. All right,

54:56 regard to physiological restriction. Now basically are you water soluble? Are you

55:01 soluble? If you're water soluble, have to be transported, you have

55:05 be carried from one cell of the and you have to be moved across

55:09 barrier. All right, each lid each side of the plasma membrane,

55:14 know. So asking for the you have to pass the plasma membrane

55:17 go inside the cell and you have pass the plasma membrane to go to

55:21 basement membrane, pass through the basement , you have to pass through a

55:33 . So every time you pass one those, you need to have something

55:36 transport you across. If your water soluble, if you're a little bit

55:42 , you you can do that That's not a problem. But of

55:45 , you have to survive the view . So the blood brain barrier serves

55:55 this protective layer to ensure that the nutrients that you want or need can

56:01 through and the stuff that you don't can't. Now, the way this

56:08 , as I said, they are ones who do this work. They

56:11 the ones talking to the, if weren't for the astrocytes coming along and

56:15 , all right, I need you create these tax, then you'd be

56:19 to pass in between themselves. And also play a role because you have

56:24 actually exercise nervous tissue as well. , you do not have blood brain

56:31 throughout the entire brain. There are areas in the brain where there is

56:37 blood brain barrier and this is to benefit. First off, the hypothalamus

56:43 a regulator of many different systems in body. And it needs to

56:50 for example, what it needs to . All right. In other

56:56 if I don't know what's in the , how do I know how to

56:59 the things that are going on in rest of the body? So it

57:01 to be able to sample the And if you had a blood brain

57:08 in those particular locations, it wouldn't able to do that. It's not

57:11 entire hypothalamus, there's just particular the penny on gland also puts hormone

57:18 into the blood. So it has have an opportunity to do.

57:20 So you're not gonna have a blood barrier there. The most likely way

57:25 poison your body is basically putting something your digestive tract. Would you all

57:34 with me on that? Did you put the in your mother person?

57:41 , I, are you sure, you ever step and paid for

57:49 You know? Have you ever played five second rule? It's ok.

57:58 . Right. Ever just tried you know? Well, I'll give

58:04 a whi right. Most common way get something bad in your body is

58:11 consuming it. All right. That's most likely way that you're gonna get

58:15 invasion. All right. And so your body starts detecting toxins in the

58:22 , because the way that you're going detect them, they'll be circulating in

58:25 blood is the body. The first it's gonna say is a, I

58:28 where this came from. You consume you shouldn't have. And so what

58:33 gonna do is I'm gonna just throw whatever's in the stomach and that will

58:37 me get rid of whatever the toxin . So, the vomiting centers of

58:40 brain are constantly monitoring the blood to sure you don't have horrible nasty toxins

58:47 through. And then the choroid Also, here we have those ependymal

58:57 , they're not the blood brain but what they're doing is they're acting

59:01 the mediators as to what can come or be allowed in? Are there

59:11 questions so far? Is this How do you protect the, what

59:19 the four ways to protect? And then the memory. So and

59:29 the it's very, pretty easy. all you gotta do is is when

59:38 come back, that's when I get applause. Thanks will do that.

59:50 at the when the work next.
