dura mater

three layers of connective tissue membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord

meninges

outermost membrane and contains channels that contain blood

dura mater

below the dural membrane

subdural space

second layer surrounding the brain and spinal cord and is loosely attached to the other meninges bt web-like fibers

arachnoid membrane

space for fluid between the fibers and the third membrane and contains CSF

subarachnoid space

third layer of the meninges and closest to the brain and spinal cord; contains delicate connective tissue with rich supply of blood vessels

pia mater

column of nervous tissue extending from the medulla oblongata to the second lumbar vertebrae within the vertical column

spinal cord

fan of nerve fibers below the end of the spinal cord

cauda equina

matter that contains cell bodies and dendrites (inner)

gray matter

matter that contains the nerve fiber tracts with myelin sheaths (outer)

white matter

center of the brain that controls muscles of respiration in response to chemicals or other stimuli

respiratory

center of the brain that slows the heart rate when the heart is beating too rapidly

cardiac

center of the brain that affects the muscles in the walls of blood vessels, thus influencing blood pressure

vasomoter

structure of the brain that deals with thinking, personalty, sensations, movements, memory

cerebrum

bridge to cerebellum to cerebrum

pons

posture/balance

hypothalamus

structure of the brain that involves the vital centers
