Brain stem medulla, pons, midbrain.


The medulla:
contains motor and sensory nuclei of nerves

for the throat , mouth and neck as well as nuclei involved in the control of respiratory and cardiovascular systems , movement and posture. cranial nerves IX, X, XI and XII

Pons
is continuous with the medulla and contains nuclei of nerves for motor and sensory functions of the face as well as nuclei involved in the control of respiration. cranial nerves V, VI, VII and VIII

Cerebrospinal fluid

Prof Maha Hegazi

21

(a) Protection :The CSF serves as a shock absorbing medium to protect the brain and spinal cord from crashing against the body walls of the cranial and vertebral cavities during alterations in posture or external acceleration. (b) Circulation : CSF delivers nutritive substances filtered from blood to the brain and spinal cord and removes waste substances produced by the brain and spinal cord.
Prof Maha Hegazi 5/2/2012

Functions of the CSF

22

Blood-brain barrier

control the type and rate by which of

substances enter the extra-cellular fluid of the brain The endothelial cells of the capillaries within the CNS are held together by tight junctions which limit the diffusional exchange of water and water-soluble substances. The barrier is permeable to respiratory gases (O2 and CO2) , glucose and fat soluble drugs as volatile anaesthetics.
