Structurally, the nervous system is divided into two parts: Central nervous system – consists of the brain and the spinal cord. Peripheral nervous system – consists of cranial and spinal […] The Venous Drainage of the Central Nervous System The central nervous system consists of the cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem and spinal cord. Their venous drainage is complex, and rather uniquely, does not follow the arterial supply. The cerebrum, cerebellum and brainstem are drained by numerous veins, which empty into the dural venous sinuses. The spinal cord is supplied by anterior and posterior spinal veins, which drain into the […] Structures of the Central Nervous System [child-pages depth=”1″] Pathways in the Central Nervous System [child-pages depth=”1″] The Arterial Supply to the C...
