6.6: Animals have nervous systems that detect external and internal signals, transmit and integrate information, and produce responses. 1. Neurons

All About Neurons Neurons are highly-specialized cells used by the nervous system to detect signals and transmit them to other neurons or response effectors (muscles or glands)

Neuron Anatomy Neurons allow for signals to generated, detected, transmitted and integrated by animals. Neuron signals move from dendrites to axon to nerve terminals. Dendrites Nerve Terminals Node of Ranvier Cell Body Axon Schwann Cell Nucleus Schwann Cell Nucleus

Neuron Diversity Neuron structure varies depending on the role of the neuron in the nervous system.

Action Potentials Neuron signals are electrochemical “action potentials”. At rest, the membrane of a neuron is polarized, with active maintenance of different concentrations of ions inside and outside of the cell (the “resting potential”). Na+ is at a higher concentration outside the cell. K+ is at a higher concentration inside the cell. An action potential results from the depolarization of a neuronal membrane’s resting potential.

When the membrane is depolarized to a “threshold potential”, voltage gated channels in the axon open, and a rapid exchange of ions occurs:

At threshold, Na+ moves in to the cell, triggering a massive depolarization. At peak depolarization, K+ ion channels also open, K+ ions to move out of the cell. Peak depolarization triggers the closing of the Na+ channels, K+ ion channels remain open. As K+ continues to move out of the cell, the membrane becomes hyperpolarized.

The action of Na+/K+ pump proteins restores the polarization of the membrane back to the resting potential. Once the resting potential is restored, the neuron can send another action potential.

Action potentials are: binary (“all or nothing”) self-propagating unidirectional

The initial depolarization of the membrane triggers the depolarization of the next area of the membrane. The hyperpolarization following an action potential prevents the action potential from moving backwards along the axon.

Myelination greatly increases the speed of action potential transmission, as the signal moves along nodes (“saltatory conduction”).

Synapses Junctions between neurons. Signals are transmitted as chemicals (“Neurotransmitters”).

Different neurotransmitters have different uses in the nervous system. Ex. Acetylcholine: released by motor neurons at the neuromuscular junction. Serotonin: Released by neurons in the brain involved in emotional responses.

Signal Summation Incoming signals will be excitatory or inhibitory. The summation of all of the incoming signals will trigger a neuron to send an action potential or not.

Integration and Response Integration: The spatial and temporal pattern of incoming action potentials will be interpreted by the nervous system as a sensation. Response: the operation of muscles, or the secretion of hormones are the major ways that responses are effected.

Nervous Systems Animal Nervous Systems have varying levels of complexity. Evolutionary trends towards centralization and “cephalization” are demonstrated.

In Vertebrates, the brain is the central unit for integrating nervous system information and coordinating responses.

The brain is part of the central nervous system, which integrates information from the peripheral nervous system.

The brain is also the master regulator for the endocrine system.

The brain is adapted to maximize connections between neurons.

Different regions of the brain have different functions and work together to coordinate the behavior of the organism. Ex. Medulla/Cerebellum/Cerebrum

Ex. Right hemisphere/left hemisphere separation.

Ex. Vision and Hearing Centers

Ex. Cerebrum Functions
