The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. The brain is divided into the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. The forebrain includes the telencephalon and diencephalon. The spinal cord runs through the spinal canal for protection and is divided into cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and cauda equina segments. The meninges are membranes that cover and protect the central nervous system, including the dura mater, arachnoid, and pia mater.

Central Nervous System:

6. Brain:
• It is the entire mass that is housed in the
cranial vault.
Forebrain:
• Divided into two zones: telencephalon and
diencephalon (thalamus, hypothalamus,
epithalamus and subthalamus).
Mid brain:
Hindbrain:
• Divided into meteencephalon and
myelencephalon.
(pons, medulla oblongata)

7. • Is the extension of the brain system
through the spinal canal that is in
the center of the spine.
• It has bone protection.
• It is inside the spinal canal.
spinal cord

8. segments:
Cervical, thoracic, lumbar, conus
medullaris, cauda equina.
spinal nerves:
It is the way in which this system
connects with the peripheral
nervous system.

9. Meninges
1. dura mater
2. arachnoid
3. pia mater
Between them there is a space and it is
the sub arachnoid.
cerebrospinal fluid
Function: cushioning, helps the nutrition of
the meninges.
