The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system is an extensive network of nerves connecting the CNS to the muscles and sensory structures.

The dura mater is the tough outer layer, the arachnoid mater is the delicate middle layer that aids in cerebrospinal fluid circulation, and the pia mater closely adheres to the brain, providing nutrients through its blood vessels. Together, these layers provide critical protection and support for the central nervous system.

The CNS has a privileged blood supply, as suggested by the blood-brain barrier. The function of the tissue in the CNS is crucial to the survival of the organism, so the contents of the blood cannot simply pass into the central nervous tissue.

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.

It also covers the organization of nerve root fibers and ganglia, including the unipolar nature of dorsal root ganglion cells and the positioning of sympathetic chain ganglia in the autonomic nervous system.

The CNS is protected by the skeletal system (skull and vertebral column), and underneath by membranes of connective tissue, called meninges. In addition, the CNS has a privileged blood supply, as suggested by the blood-brain barrier. Because of this privilege, the CNS needs specialized structures for the maintenance of circulation.

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.
