Neurology 



The nervous system is divided into two great parts, the cerebro- 

 spinal and the sympathetic. The cerebrospinal system consists of 

 the brain, spinal cord, ganglia and nerves. The brain is the central 

 portion of the nervous system and is situated in the cranial cavity ; 

 the spinal cord is, in reality, a great extension of the brain through- 

 out the length of the spinal canal, from which emerge, at numerous 

 points, branches, nerves, upon which are noted enlargements, called 

 ganglia. The sympathetic system will be described in answer to a 

 question below. 



Name the membranes that cover the brain and describe the outer one. 



From within outward, pia mater, arachnoid and dura mater. 



The dura mater is a strong, fibrous membrane, adherent to the 

 bony walls. It gives off prolongations into the brain, forms de- 

 pressions for the venous sinuses and is prolonged on the nerves and 

 spinal cord.
