Unit 3: Integration Station: The Nervous System Functions of the Nervous System 1. Sensory input – gathering information To monitor changes occurring inside and outside the body “Changes” = stimuli Examples: Temperature, Sound, Pain, Etc. 2. Integration To process and interpret sensory input and decide if action is needed
Functions of the Nervous System 3. Motor output (Homeostasis!) A response to integrated stimuli The response activates muscles or glands
Structural Classification of the Nervous System Central Nervous System (CNS) Contains the: Brain Spinal cord Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) Nerves outside the brain and spinal cord Includes Cranial Nerves & Spinal Nerves
Basic Divisions of the Nervous System Figure 12.2
Functional Classification of the PNS PNS structures are divided into two subdivions 1. Sensory (afferent) division Nerve fibers that carry information to the central nervous system from the body.
Functional Classification of the PNS Receptors located in various parts of the body send signals TO the brain LOCATIONS: Skin, Skeletal Muscles & Joints = Somatic Sensory Fibers Visceral Organs = Visceral Sensory Fibers
Functional Classification of the PNS Motor (efferent) division Nerve fibers that carry impulses away from the central nervous system to organs, muscles, & glands. The impulses “effect” (bring about) a motor response.
Functional Classification of the PNS Motor (efferent) divisions Two subdivisions 1. Somatic Nervous System = voluntary (skeletal) 2. Autonomic Nervous Nystem = involuntary (smooth muscle, cardiac, & glands)

Unit 3: Integration Station: The Nervous System Nervous Tissue: Neurons Neurons = nerve cells Cells specialized to transmit messages Major regions of neurons 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 Unit 3: Integration Station: The Nervous System

Unit 3: Integration Station: The Nervous System Nervous Tissue: Support Cells (Neuroglia) Four Types 1. Astrocytes Abundant, star-shaped cells Brace neurons Form barrier between capillaries and neurons Control the chemical environment of the brain Unit 3: Integration Station: The Nervous System
Unit 3: Integration Station: The Nervous System Nervous Tissue: Support Cells 2. Microglia Spider-like phagocytes Dispose of debris Respond to immunological alarms 3. Ependymal cells Line cavities of the brain and spinal cord Circulate cerebrospinal fluid Unit 3: Integration Station: The Nervous System
Unit 3: Integration Station: The Nervous System Nervous Tissue: Support Cells 4. Oligodendrocytes Provide insulation around the axons Unit 3: Integration Station: The Nervous System
Nervous Tissue: Support Cells (Neuroglia) Five Types
Nervous Tissue: Support Cells 5. Schwann cells Form insulating myelin sheath around the neurons
