Introduction to Nervous system

 Composition of grey matter and white matter  Nerve fibers: structure classifications & functions, myelination, degeneration, regeneration  Receptors: definition, structure classifications location & functions  Synapse: definition, structure classifications & functions  Autonomic nervous system: parts, autonomic nerve plexuses & ganglia  Coverings of brain and spinal cord : Pia, arachnoid and dura mater, their extension, folds, spaces, nerve supply & blood supply  Ventricular system and Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) : Location of different ventricles of brain the formation, composition, circulation, absorption & functions of CSF  Blood-brain and Blood-CSF barriers: Composition & function

Motor system

 Cerebrum (motor areas): Gyri, sulci and important functional areas with effects of lesion; mode of blood supply  Pyramidal & extrapyramidal system & effects of their lesion  Cerebellum: parts, functional lobes, nuclei, peduncles & functions, blood supply, clinical conditions  Basal nuclei: locations, parts, functions artery supply & clinical conditions  Motor and mixed Cranial Nerves: Classification, functional components, cranial nerve nuclei and course of cranial nerves

Sensory system

 Dermatome & axial line  Cerebrum( sensory areas): Gyri, sulci and important functional areas with effects of lesion; mode of blood supply  Ascending tracts of spinal cord with effects of lesions  Diencephalon: parts & functions  Sensory cranial nerves & Smell, visual & auditory pathway  Spinal Cord: Length, extension, enlargement, blood supply, cross-sections at different level  Brain stem: blood supply, cross sections at different levels  Reticular formation  Limbic system
