The document provides information about the nervous system. It discusses that the nervous system is divided into the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord. The PNS includes the autonomic nervous system and relays information between the CNS and the body. Within the CNS, the brain is the center of neural activity and integration. Neurons are the basic functional units that carry and transmit electrochemical signals throughout the nervous system.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Anti ulcer drugs and their Advance pharmacology ||
Anti-ulcer drugs are medications used to prevent and treat ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). These ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between stomach acid and the mucosal lining, which protects the stomach lining.
||Scope: Overview of various classes of anti-ulcer drugs, their mechanisms of action, indications, side effects, and clinical considerations.
2. NERVOUS SYSTEM
• The nervous system is unique in the vast complexity of
thought processes and control actions it can perform.
• It receives each minute literally millions of bits of information
from the different sensory nerves and sensory organs and then
integrates all these to determine responses to be made by the
body.
• The nervous system is one of the regulating systems.
3. NERVOUS SYSTEM
• Electrochemical impulses of the nervous system make it
possible to obtain information about the external or internal
environment and do whatever is necessary to maintain
homeostasis.
• The nervous system is divided into two parts :
1. central nervous system (CNS)
2. peripheral nervous system (PNS)
4. NERVOUS SYSTEM
• The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and
spinal cord.
• The peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists of cranial
nerves and spinal nerves.
• The PNS includes the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
• The peripheral nervous system relays information to and from
the central nervous system, and the brain is the center of
activity that integrates this information, initiates responses, and
makes us the individuals we are.
5. Neuron
• Nerve cells are called neurons, or nerve fibers and Neuron is
the basic functional unit of the central nervous system.
• Whatever their specific functions, all neurons have the same
physical parts.
• The cell body contains the nucleus and is essential for the
continued life of the neuron.
6. Neuron
• The central nervous system contains more than 100 billion
neurons.
• Dendrites are processes (extensions) that transmit impulses
toward the cell body. The one axon of a neuron transmits
impulses away from the cell body.
• In the central nervous system, the myelin sheaths are formed
by oligodendrocytes, one of the neuroglia (glial cells), the
specialized cells found only in the brain and spinal cord.
8. Neuron
• Another kind of neuroglia are microglia, which are
constantly moving, phagocytizing cellular debris, damaged
cells, and pathogens.
• The small gap or space between the axon of one neuron and
the dendrites or cell body of the next neuron is called the
synapse.
9. Neuron
• Neurons may be classified into three groups: sensory neurons,
motor neurons, and interneurons.
• Sensory neurons (or afferent neurons) carry impulses from
receptors to the central nervous system.
• Motor neurons (or efferent neurons) carry impulses from
the central nervous system to effectors.
• The two types of effectors are muscles and glands.
10. Neuron
• Sensory and motor neurons make up the peripheral nervous
system.
• Interneurons are found entirely within the central nervous
system.
• They are arranged so as to carry only sensory or motor
impulses, or to integrate these functions.
• Some interneurons in the brain are concerned with thinking,
learning, and memory.
11. Neuron
• A neuron carries impulses in only one direction.
• The term nerve tract refers to groups of neurons within the
central nervous system.
• All the neurons in a nerve tract are concerned with either
sensory or motor activity.
• These tracts are often referred to as white matter; the myelin
sheaths of the neurons give them a white color.
12. THE NERVE IMPULSE
• The events of an electrical nerve impulse are the same as
those of the electrical impulse generated in muscle fibers.
• The neuron has a positive charge on the outside of the
cell membrane and a relative negative charge inside.
• Stated simply, a neuron not carrying an impulse is in a
state of polarization, with Na ions more abundant outside
the cell, and K ions and negative ions more abundant
inside the cell.
13. THE NERVE IMPULSE
• A stimulus (such as a neurotransmitter) makes the membrane
very permeable to Na ions, which rush into the cell. This
brings about depolarization.
• As soon as depolarization takes place, the neuron membrane
becomes very permeable to K ions, which rush out of the cell.
This restores the positive charge outside and the negative
charge inside, and is called repolarization.
• The term action potential refers to depolarization followed by
repolarization.
14. THE SPINAL CORD
• The spinal cord transmits impulses to and from the brain
and is the integrating center for the spinal cord reflexes.
• Enclosed within the vertebral canal and the meninges, the
spinal cord is well protected from mechanical injury.
• In length, the spinal cord extends from the foramen magnum
of the occipital bone to the disc between the first and second
lumbar vertebrae.
15. THE SPINAL CORD
• Ascending tracts (such as the dorsal columns and
spinothalamic tracts) carry sensory impulses to the brain.
• Descending tracts (such as the corticospinal and rubrospinal
tracts) carry motor impulses away from the brain.
• central canal; this contains cerebrospinal fluid and is
continuous with cavities in the brain called ventricles.
17. THE BRAIN
• The major parts are the medulla, pons, and midbrain
(collectively called the brain stem), the cerebellum, the
hypothalamus, the thalamus, and the cerebrum.
19. VENTRICLES
• The ventricles are four cavities within the brain: two lateral
ventricles, the third ventricle, and the fourth ventricle.
• Each ventricle contains a capillary network called a choroid
plexus, which forms cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from blood
plasma.
• Cerebrospinal fluid is the tissue fluid of the central nervous
system.
20. MEDULLA
• The medulla extends from the spinal cord to the pons and is
anterior to the cerebellum.
• The medulla contains cardiac centers that regulate heart rate,
vasomotor centers that regulate the diameter of blood vessels
and, thereby, blood pressure, and respiratory centers that
regulate breathing.
21. PONS
• The pons bulges anteriorly from the upper part of the
medulla
• Within the pons are two respiratory centers that work with
those in the medulla to produce a normal breathing rhythm.
• The many other neurons in the pons connect the medulla with
other parts of the brain.
22. MIDBRAIN
• The midbrain extends from the pons to the
hypothalamus and encloses the cerebral aqueduct, a
tunnel that connects the third and fourth ventricles.
• Several different kinds of reflexes are integrated in the
midbrain, including visual and auditory reflexes.
• If you see a wasp flying toward you, you automatically
duck or twist away; this is a visual reflex, as is the
coordinated movement of the eyeballs.
23. CEREBELLUM
• The cerebellum is separated from the medulla and pons by
the fourth ventricle and is inferior to the occipital lobes of the
cerebrum.
• As you already know, many of the functions of the cerebellum
are concerned with movement.
• These include coordination, regulation of muscle tone, the
appropriate trajectory and endpoint of movements, and the
maintenance of posture and equilibrium.
24. HYPOTHALAMUS
• Located superior to the pituitary gland and inferior to the
thalamus, the hypothalamus is a small area of the brain with
many diverse functions: Production of antidiuretic hormone
(ADH) and oxytocin;
• The hypothalamus produces growth hormone releasing
hormone (GHRH), which stimulates the anterior pituitary
gland to secrete growth hormone (GH).
25. HYPOTHALAMUS
• Regulation of body temperature by promoting responses such
as sweating in a warm environment or shivering in a cold
environment.
• Regulation of food intake; the hypothalamus is believed to
respond to changes in blood nutrient levels, to chemicals
secreted by fat cells, and to hormones secreted by the
gastrointestinal tract.
26. THALAMUS
• The thalamus is superior to the hypothalamus and
inferior to the cerebrum.
• The third ventricle is a narrow cavity that passes through
both the thalamus and hypothalamus.
• Many of the functions of the thalamus are concerned with
sensation.
• Sensory impulses to the brain (except those for the sense of
smell) follow neuron pathways that first enter the thalamus,
which groups the impulses before relaying them to the
cerebrum, where sensations are felt.
27. CEREBRUM
• The largest part of the human brain is the cerebrum, which
consists of two hemispheres separated by the longitudinal
fissure.
• The largest part of the human brain is the cerebrum, which
consists of two hemispheres separated by the longitudinal
fissure.
• The surface of the cerebrum is gray matter called the cerebral
cortex.
28. Frontal Lobes
• Within the frontal lobes are the motor areas that generate
the impulses for voluntary movement.
• The largest portions are for movement of the hands and face,
those areas with many muscles capable of very fine or precise
movements.
• It is the large size of the motor area devoted to them that gives
these muscles their precision.
• The left motor area controls movement on the right side of
the body, and the right motor area controls the left side of the
body.
29. Parietal Lobes
• The general sensory areas in the parietal lobes receive
impulses from receptors in the skin and feel and interpret the
cutaneous sensations.
• The left area is for the right side of the body and vice versa.
• These areas also receive impulses from stretch receptors in
muscles for conscious muscle sense.
30. Temporal Lobes
• The olfactory areas in the temporal lobes receive impulses
from receptors in the nasal cavities for the sense of smell.
31. Occipital Lobes
• Impulses from the retinas of the eyes travel along the optic
nerves to the visual areas in the occipital lobes.
32. Basal Ganglia
• The basal ganglia are paired masses of gray matter within
the white matter of the cerebral hemispheres.
• Their functions are certain subconscious aspects of voluntary
movement, and they work with the cerebellum.
33. Corpus Callosum
• the corpus callosum is a band of nerve fibers that connects
the left and right cerebral hemispheres.
• This enables each hemisphere to know of the activity of the
other.
34. MENINGES AND CEREBROSPINAL FLUID
(CSF)
• The connective tissue membranes that cover the brain and
spinal cord are called meninges.
• Three layers :
1. dura mater
2. Arachnoid membrane
3. Pia mater
35. MENINGES AND CEREBROSPINAL FLUID
(CSF)
• Between the arachnoid and the pia mater is the subarachnoid
space, which contains cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the tissue
fluid of the central nervous system.
37. THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
• The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is actually part of the
peripheral nervous system in that it consists of motor portions
of some cranial and spinal nerves.
• The ANS has two divisions: sympathetic and
parasympathetic.
• The activity of both divisions is integrated by the
hypothalamus.
38. SYMPATHETIC DIVISION
• Another name for the sympathetic division is thoracolumbar
division, which tells us where the sympathetic preganglionic
neurons originate.
• The sympathetic division is dominant in stressful situations,
which include anger, fear, or anxiety, as well as exercise.
39. PARASYMPATHETIC DIVISION
• The other name for the parasympathetic division is the
craniosacral division.
• The cell bodies of parasympathetic preganglionic neurons are
in the brain stem and the sacral segments of the spinal cord.
• In the parasympathetic division, one preganglionic neuron
synapses with just a few postganglionic neurons to only one
effector.
40. PARASYMPATHETIC DIVISION
• The parasympathetic division dominates in relaxed (non-
stress) situations to promote normal functioning of several
organ systems.
• Digestion will be efficient, with increased secretions and
peristalsis; defecation and urination may occur; and the heart
will beat at a normal resting rate.
41. NEUROTRANSMITTERS
• Recall that neurotransmitters enable nerve impulses to cross
synapses. In autonomic pathways there are two synapses: one
between preganglionic and postganglionic neurons, and the
second between postganglionic neurons and visceral effectors.
• Acetylcholine is the transmitter released by all
preganglionic neurons, both sympathetic and para-
sympathetic; it is inactivated by cholinesterase in
postganglionic neurons.
• Parasympathetic postganglionic neurons all release
acetylcholine at the synapses with their visceral effectors.
