J 77th to ¥7rV<rth of an inch. These are found in the ganglia and the substance of the brain. 566. Divisions of the Nervous System.—The nervous system consists of a central portion contained within the cav- ity of the skull and the spinal column, and a great number of white threads ramifying through every part of the body. The physical condition upon which the activity of the ner- vous system depends, is the supply of arterial blood. 567. Cerebrum.—If we examine the parts within the skull, (Fig. 304, p. 319,) we shall find the greater mass of it to be of a spheroidal form, divided nearly into two halves by a deep fissure or cleft, and its surface is singularly roughened by elevations and depressions called anfractuosities. 568. This mass is the Cerebrum or Great Brain, and the two divisions are called its hemispheres. (Fig. 307, p. 321 ) 569. In man the average weight of the brain is fifty-four ounces, in females forty-five; the maximum being sixty-four, 566. What principal divisions does the nervous system consist of? 587. Describe the cerebrum. 569. What is the average weight of the brain?
