The Nervous System : communication A. Neurons = masses of nerve cells that transmit information 1. Cell Body - contains the nucleus and two extensions 2. Dendrites – shorter, more numerous, receive information 3. Axons – single, long “fiber” which conducts impulse away from the cell body, sends information

Nervous System Central Nervous System (CNS): brain and spinal cord. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS): nerves of the body -- Includes 31 pairs of spinal nerves -- And 12 pairs of cranial nerves

Basic Divisions of the Nervous System Figure 12.2

THREE BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM Sensory - gathers info Integrative - information is brought together Motor - responds to signals, homeostasis

Neuroglial Cells - support cells for the neurons 1. Microglial Cells: scattered throughout, digest debris or bacteria Microglial cells respond to immunological alarms

Neuroglial Cells 2. Oligodendrocytes: provide insulation around the axons

Neuroglial Cells 3. Astrocytes: connect blood vessels to neurons I connect to blood vessels

Neuroglial Cells 4. Ependymal Cells: form a membrane that covers brain-like parts

5. Schwann cells: form the insulating myelin sheath around the neurons

Supporting Cells - NEUROGLIA

Neurons

Axon - long section, transmits impulses Dendrite - small extensions from the cell body; receive information Neurofibrils - fibers within the axon

Nodes of Ranvier - gaps in the insulation Chromatophilic substance (rough ER) - transport system Myelin -insulation surrounding axons ***Neuron for you to label***

White vs Grey Matter Myelinated (white matter) – myelinated axons Unmyelinated (grey matter) - unmyelinated

Interesting Facts about the Neuron Longevity – can live and function for a lifetime Do not divide – fetal neurons lose their ability to undergo mitosis; neural stem cells are an exception High metabolic rate – require abundant oxygen and glucose The nerve fibers of newborns are unmyelinated - this causes their responses to stimuli to be course and sometimes involve the whole body. Try surprising a baby!

Types of Neurons Functional: Sensory, Motor, Interneurons Structural: (A) Bipolar (B) Unipolar (C) Multipolar

Cell Membrane Potential

Nerve Impulses At rest, the inside of a neuron's membrane has a negative charge. As the figure shows, a Na+ / K+ pump in the cell membrane pumps sodium out of the cell and potassium into it. However, more potassium ions leak out of the cell. As a result, the inside of the membrane builds up a net negative charge relative to the outside. Animations of Nerve Impulses hill.com/sites/ /student_view0/chapter14/ani mation__the_nerve_impulse.html u/animations/actionpotential_s hort.swf

Some basic terms: Resting potential = voltage, potential difference Polarized at rest Depolarization = when sodium ions rush in Repolarization = when potassium ions rush out

The Synapse Synapse - junction between two communicating neurons Nerve pathway - nerve impulse travels from neuron to neuron Synaptic Transmission Dendrite ->cell body -> along axon -> synapse (gap) To complete the signal, a NEUROTRANSMITTER is released at the gap to signal the next neuron

Structure of a Synapses

Neurotransmitters Excitatory - increase membrane permeability, increases chance for threshold to be achieved Inhibitory - decrease membrane permeability, decrease chance for threshold to be achieved

Types of Neurotransmitters Acetylcholine - stimulates muscle contraction Monoamines - Norepinephrine & Dopamine (sense of feeling good, low levels = depression) Serotonin (sleepiness) Endorphins (reduce pain, inhibit receptors)

9.8 Impulse Processing Neuronal pool - groups of neurons that make hundreds of synaptic connections and work together to perform a common function These "pools" help us remember sequential tasks, like tying a shoe or riding a bike.

9.9 Types of Nerves Sensory Nerves - conduct impulses into the brain or spinal cord Motor Nerves - carry impulses to muscles of glands Mixed Nerves - contain both sensory and motor nerves

Neurons Classified by Function: Sensory vs. Motor Neurons Figure 12.11

9.10 Nerve Pathways Reflex arc - only includes a few neurons Reflex Behavior - automatic, subconscious responses Knee-jerk reflex - maintains uprightedness Withdrawal reflex - avoidance of painful stimuli
