For example, damage to specific areas of the brain, such as that caused by a head injury or cerebrovascular accidents (i.e., strokes), can cause specific deficits in speech, facial movements, or use of the extremities.

The nervous system is divided into 2 parts: the central nervous system, consisting of the brain and spinal cord and the peripheral nervous systemconsisting of nerves connected to the brain and spinal cord.

Notably, cerebrospinal fluid contains higher levels, indicating its importance in the central nervous system. Seminal fluid may have elevated levels, with lower concentrations in infertile men associated with oxidative stress.

It covers development stages, blood supply, cerebrospinal fluid, brain mapping, cranial nerves, and reflex arcs, among other topics. The references include academic citations from sources like StatPearls and OpenStax, and feature figures and illustrations to aid comprehension. The materials reflect recent advancements in neuroanatomy from 2016 to 2024

The section provides statistics on brain tumors, detailing benign and malignant types, and their effects. It explains Guillain-Barr?? as a rare neuropathy and meningitis as an inflammation of the meninges caused by various pathogens.

The nerves of the autonomic nervous system originate in the spinal cord and pass out between the vertebrae to serve the various organs (see diagram 14.10).There are two main parts to the autonomic nervous system—the sympathetic system and the parasympathetic system.

It highlights what occurs when there's a disruption in brain perfusion, namely a stroke, and stresses the complexity involved in treating strokes. It differentiates between ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, noting the importance of recognizing these differences for effective nursing care and intervention.
