Some challenges for the development of a standardized nomenclature for the nervous. Functional neuroanatomy: anatomical directions and planes of section, major divisions of the nervous system, central nervous system, brain, spinal cord, peripheral nervous system, somatic, autonomic, sympathetic, parasympathetic. Anatomical directions: rostral or anterior, head end of a four-legged animal, caudal of posterior, tail end of four-legged animal, ventral of inferior, towards the belly, dorsal or superior, towards the back. More terms: midline divides body into two equal halves. Three meninges (layers) of membrane protect the brain and spinal cord. Cerebrospinal fluid: produced in the choroid plexus, a liquid that surrounds the brain, flows inside ventricles, performs a number of important functions, floats the brain. The brain"s blood supply: neural death occurs within 3 minutes of the cns not receiving any new blood supply, blood gets there through 3 main arteries (blood vessel, carotid artery, vertebral artery, and divisions of these arteries.
