NERVOUS SYSTEM 



FIGS. 1, 2. THE BSAIN or ENCEPII'ALON (Gr. en, in ; kephale, the head) 



/"Olfactory lobes or Khinenceph'alon (Gr. rhis, rhinos, the nose) giving off 



olfactory nerves. 



J Cerebral hemispheres or Prosenceph'alon (Gr. pros, before) completely 

 1 separated by the great fissure (fig. 3). 



I Optic thalami (Gr. thalamos, a bed), one on each side bounding the third 



ventricle with pineal gland on roof.=Tlialamenceph'alon. 



MID-BRAIN ( Optic lobes above and crura cerebri (L. legs of the cerebrum) below. = 

 (Yellow) ( Mesenceph'alon (Gr. mews, middle). 



/"Cerebellum (L. the little brain), very small =Metenceph'aloii (Gr. me(a, 

 J behind). 



I Medulla oblongata (L. elongated marrow) with the fourth ventricle. = 

 V Myelonceph'alon (Gr. muelos, marrow). 



Lamina terminalis (L. terminal plate), the anterior wall of the thalameucephalon ter- 

 minating the axial portion of the brain, the hemispheres being lateral expansions.

Iter a tertio ad quartum veiitriculurn (L. passage from third to fourth ventricle), with 



ventricles of optic lobes entering it. 



4. Fourth ventricle, continuous with central canal of spinal cord. 

 FIG. 4. GENERAL VIEW OF THE BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD, cerebro-spinal axis- 

 Brain showing chiasma (Gr. a crossing) of the optic nerves, and optic tracts leading from optic 



lobes. 



Spinal cord or myelon, tapering away to the filuni terminate (L. terminal thread). 

 DIAG. 1. Ten pair of CRANIAL NERVES, ten pair of SPINAL NERVES, and ten pair of SYMPATHETIC 



GANGLIA 

 CRANIAL NERVES, 1 to 10 (yellow). 



Spinal 1, hypoglossal (Gr. hupo, under ; glossa, a tongue), distributed to 



tongue. 



,, 2 and 3, forming a brachial plexus (L. brackium, an arm; plexus, 

 a junction), and distributed to fore-limbs. 



SPINAL NERVES 

 (Blue) 



/ 4, 5, and 6, distributed to the body-walls. 



7, 8, and 9, forming a lumbo-sacral plexus (L. lumbiis, the loin). 



and distributed to posterior portion of body and hind-limbs ; 

 crural to front of limb and sciatic (contraction for ischiatic) 

 to back of it. 



10, distributed to parts about coccyx. 

 SYMPATHETIC GANGLIA (S. 1 to S. 10), with connecting commissures (red).

posterior (dorsal) and anterior (ventral) roots of the nerve-trunk.
