The Nervous System

Functions of the Nervous System Sensory input – gathering information To monitor changes occurring inside and outside the body Changes = stimuli Integration To process and interpret sensory input and decide if action is needed

Functions of the Nervous System Motor output A response to integrated stimuli – It commands responses. The response activates muscles or glands of other parts of the nervous system.

Structural Classification of the Nervous System Central nervous system (CNS) Brain Spinal cord Peripheral nervous system (PNS) Nerve outside the brain and spinal cord

Functional Classification of the Peripheral Nervous System Sensory (afferent) division Nerve fibers that carry information to the central nervous system Figure 7.1

Functional Classification of the Peripheral Nervous System Motor (efferent) division Nerve fibers that carry impulses away from the central nervous system Figure 7.1

Functional Classification of the Peripheral Nervous System Motor (efferent) division Two subdivisions Somatic nervous system = voluntary Autonomic nervous system = involuntary Figure 7.1

Organization of the Nervous System Figure 7.2

Nervous System There are 43 pairs of nerves in the PNS There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves There are 31 pairs of spinal nerves

Nervous System Terms Synapse – A gap between the neurons. Terminal dendrites – Pick up impulses from the synapse. Dendrites – connect the terminal dendrite to the perikaryon of cell body. Perikaryon – Nerve cell body – connects the dendrite to the axon Axon hillock – part of the perikaryon that the axon originates from

Nervous System Terms Axon – Connects the perikaryon to the axon terminal. Myelin sheath - covers and protects the axon speeds up impulse speed acts as insulation Neurilemma – covers the myelin sheath – stimulates regeneration of the cell. Axon terminals – connect the axon to the synapse – secretes acetylcholine

Nervous System Terms Acetylcholine – carries the impulse across the synapse Cholinesterase – secreted by the terminal dendrites to dissolve acetylcholine Impulse – Travels 700-1000 feet per second

Nervous Tissue: Support Cells (Neuroglia) Astrocytes Abundant, star-shaped cells Brace neurons Form barrier between capillaries and neurons Control the chemical environment of the brain Figure 7.3a

Nervous Tissue: Support Cells Microglia Spider-like phagocytes Dispose of debris Ependymal cells Line cavities of the brain and spinal cord Circulate cerebrospinal fluid Figure 7.3b–c

Nervous Tissue: Support Cells Oligodendrocytes Produce myelin sheath around nerve fibers in the central nervous system Figure 7.3d

Nervous Tissue: Support Cells Satellite cells Protect neuron cell bodies Schwann cells Form myelin sheath in the peripheral nervous system Figure 7.3e

Nervous Tissue: Neurons Neurons = nerve cells Cells specialized to transmit messages Major regions of neurons Cell body – nucleus and metabolic center of the cell Processes – fibers that extend from the cell body

Neuron Anatomy Cell body Nissl substance – specialized rough endoplasmic reticulum Neurofibrils – intermediate cytoskeleton that maintains cell shape Figure 7.4a

Neuron Anatomy Cell body Nucleus Large nucleolus Figure 7.4a–b

Neuron Anatomy Extensions outside the cell body Dendrites – conduct impulses toward the cell body Axons – conduct impulses away from the cell body Figure 7.4a

Axons and Nerve Impulses Axons end in axonal terminals Axonal terminals contain vesicles with neurotransmitters Axonal terminals are separated from the next neuron by a gap Synaptic cleft – gap between adjacent neurons Synapse – junction between nerves

Nerve Fiber Coverings Schwann cells – produce myelin sheaths in jelly-roll like fashion Nodes of Ranvier – gaps in myelin sheath along the axon Figure 7.5

Neuron Cell Body Location Most are found in the central nervous system Gray matter – cell bodies and unmylenated fibers Nuclei – clusters of cell bodies within the white matter of the central nervous system Ganglia – collections of cell bodies outside the central nervous system

Functional Classification of Neurons Sensory (afferent) neurons Carry impulses from the sensory receptors Cutaneous sense organs Proprioceptors – detect stretch or tension Motor (efferent) neurons Carry impulses from the central nervous system

Functional Classification of Neurons Interneurons (association neurons) Found in neural pathways in the central nervous system Connect sensory and motor neurons

Neuron Classification Figure 7.6

Neuron and Association Cells (Neuroglia) Figure 7.6

Structural Classification of Neurons Multipolar neurons – many extensions from the cell body Figure 7.8a

Structural Classification of Neurons Bipolar neurons – one axon and one dendrite Figure 7.8b

Structural Classification of Neurons Unipolar neurons – have a short single process leaving the cell body Figure 7.8c

Functional Properties of Neurons Irritability – ability to respond to stimuli Conductivity – ability to transmit an impulse The plasma membrane at rest is polarized Fewer positive ions are inside the cell than outside the cell

Starting a Nerve Impulse Depolarization – a stimulus depolarizes the neuron’s membrane A deploarized membrane allows sodium (Na+) to flow inside the membrane The exchange of ions initiates an action potential in the neuron Figure 7.9a–c

The Action Potential If the action potential (nerve impulse) starts, it is propagated over the entire axon Potassium ions rush out of the neuron after sodium ions rush in, which repolarizes the membrane The sodium-potassium pump restores the original configuration This action requires ATP

Nerve Impulse Propagation The impulse continues to move toward the cell body Impulses travel faster when fibers have a myelin sheath Figure 7.9d–f

Continuation of the Nerve Impulse between Neurons Impulses are able to cross the synapse to another nerve Neurotransmitter is released from a nerve’s axon terminal The dendrite of the next neuron has receptors that are stimulated by the neurotransmitter An action potential is started in the dendrite

How Neurons Communicate at Synapses Figure 7.10

Meninges Meninges – There are three membranes that cover the brain Dura Mater Arachnoid Mater Pia Mater

Meninges Dura Mater The thickest of the three meninges Located just below the cranial bones Used for protection

Meninges Arachnoid Mater Located directly below the dura mater Makes cerebrospinal fluid Rich in blood vessels These blood vessels are responsible for supplying cerebrospinal fluid to the brain Acts as a superior border for the cerebrospinal fluid

Meninges Pia Mater Located directly on top of the brain Acts as an inferior border for the cerebrospinal fluid

Meninges Meningitis – Inflammation of the meninges Cerebrospinal fluid Absorbs shock Made from plasma from the blood stream Hydrocephalia – Excess water on the brain.

Meninges

Parts of the Brain The brain is divided into four major parts: Cerebrum Cerebellum Diencephalon (Thalamus, Hypothalamus) Brain Stem (Medulla oblongata, Pons)

Parts of the Brain The adult brain weighs approximately three pounds. Cerebrum: Largest part of the brain Controls your senses, intelligence, and voluntary muscles

Parts of the Brain Cerebellum: Controls coordination Diencephalon: Located above the brain stem and inferior to the cerebrum

Parts of the Brain Thalamus: Interprets pain Controls body temperature Relays impulses through the cerebrum Hypothalamus: Responsible for the sensation of thirst, hunger, walking, sleep, and also temperature.

Parts of the Brain Pons: Acts as a switch board Directs the messages of the brain Medulla oblongata: Controls involuntary muscle coordination Where nerves crossover going in and out of the brain

Parts of the Brain Convolutions: Folds in the brain Hemisphere: Right and left sides of the brain Sensory: Refers to any of the senses Motor: Motion (muscles, or movement)
