Brain Central Nervous System
Brain Central Nervous System
The central nervous system consists of the brain and the spinal cord.
Brain. This is the highest coordinating centre in the body. It is situated in the head region, in the cranial cavity of the skull. It is soft, whitish organ which weighs 1.2 1.4 kg. It forms 98% of the weight of the whole CNS. Brain is surrounded by three protective membranes called meninges. The space between these meninges is filled with cerebrospinal fluid which protects the brain from mechanical shocks. Brain is divisible into three main regions:
(i) Fore brain (ii) Mid brain (iii) Hind brain
(i) Fore brain forms the greatest part of the brain. It consists of three regions:
(A) Olfactory lobes are a pair of club-shaped small structures present below the cerebral hemisphere. Both lobes are widely separated. Each lobe consists of an olfactory bulb and a narrow olfactory stalk. It is the centre of smell.
(B) Cerebral hemispheres or cerebrum: forms the largest part of the brain. Cerebrum has two cerebral hemispheres which lie side by side and are separated by a deep cerebral fissure. The surface of cerebral hemisphere has grooves (sulci) and folds (gyri) to accomodate larger number of nerve cells.
Each cerebral hemisphere is divided by three fissures into four lobes:
(a) Frontal lobe on the anterior side. This is the region for speech, facial muscular activities and higher mental activities.
(b) Temporal lobe in the lateral region. This is the region for hearing.
(c) Occipital in the posterior region. This is the region for sight and
(d) Parietal lobe in the middle region. This is the region for touch, taste, temperature and conscious association. Internally each cerebral hemisphere has a fluid-filled cavity called lateral ventricles.
(C) Diencephalon: It is the smallest and unpaired part of brain. It lies on the lower side of cerebrum. Ii has a narrow cavity called third ventricle. Its roof is called epithalamus, side are called thalami and floor is called hypothalamus, Pituitary gland is attached by a stalk to the hypothalamus.
(ii) Mid brain : It extends from the pons to the lower portion of the diencephalon. Mid brain is sub divided into
(a) Optic Lobes (b) Crura Cerebri
(a) Optic lobes : - There are four round solid optic lobes called corpora quadrigemina. Anterior optic lobes are centre of vision and posterior lobes arc for hearing.
(b) Crura cerebri : -These are two ventral bands of nerves connecting diencephalon and medulla oblongata.
Each crura cerebri has two swellings, one in the front called superior colliculi and one at the back called inferior colliculi. The four swellings together are called corpora quadrigemina. The superior colliculi are centres for sight reflexes and the inferior colliculi have centres for hearing reflexes.
(iii) Hind brain consists of three parts
(a) Cerebellum is the second Iargest part of the brain. It is made up of two large lateral cerebellar hemispheres and a central vernis. It maintains equilibrium posture and tones of muscles.
(b) Pons : It is located in the centre of brain below the cerebellum. It carries impulses from one hemisphere of cerebellum to other and co-ordinates muscular movements of body.
(c) Medulla oblongata is the posterior most part of the brain which lies below the cerebellum. It continues posteriorly into the spinal cord. It contains a fluid-filled cavity called fourth ventricle. It has centre of respiration, heart beat, vomiting, salivation, sneezing, coughing, swallowing etc.

Students / Parents Reviews [20]
My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
