HOW MESSAGES ARE SENT.  It is a message travelling down a neuron  The message comes from:  Another neuron or  A sensory receptor  A nerve impulse.

THE NERVOUS SYSTEM  NERVOUS SYSTEM: Receives & relays info. About activities w/in the body & monitors & responds to internal & external changes.  NEURONS:

The Nervous System The nervous system controls and coordinates functions throughout the body and responds to internal and external stimuli.

Nerve Impulse Every time you move a muscle & every time you think a thought, your nerve cells are hard at work. They are processing information: receiving.

The Nerve Impulse.. The Neuron at Rest The plasma membrane of neurons contains many active Na-K-ATPase pumps. These pumps shuttle Na+ out of the neuron.

Neuron Structure and Function. Nervous System  Nervous system is composed of specialized cells called neurons.  Neurons have long “arms” called axons.

PHYSIOLOGY OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM Neurons are IRRITABLE Ability to respond to a stimulus! (What’s a stimulus?)

NERVE IMPULSE TRANSMISSION  nerve cells are like no other cell in the body because they possess an electrical charge  the axon of a neuron has a cell.

Nervous System. What are the functions of the nervous system? It receives information about what is happening both internal and external stimuli. It directs.

Axons and Nerve Impulses  Axons end in axonal terminals  Axonal terminals contain vesicles with neurotransmitters which are biological messenger molecules.

Unit 2 Notes: Nerve Impulses

(1) Nerve Impulses What is it? Nerve Impulse = Electrical Current Messages sent to and from neurons Used to respond to stimuli Ultimately maintains homeostasis Nerve Impulse = Electrical Current Comes from the flow of positively charged ions Ions move across the neuron’s membrane Also called an “Action Potential”

(2) Neuron Membranes & Ions Sodium & Potassium Pumps: In the membrane of neurons Only open when stimulated by neurotransmitter Ions: Charged particles Sodium = Na+ = Positive Charge Potassium = K+ = Positive Charge Movement of Ion = Movement of Charges = Electrical Current

(3) Neuron Resting Potential Resting Potential: The natural charge distribution across a neuron’s membrane. Na+ on the Outside K+ on the Inside Inside = More Negative, Outside = More Positive Membrane = Polarized = Imbalance K+ channel a little “loose”: Some K+ leaks OUT of the neuron Build up of MORE positive ions outside of the membrane

(4) Depolarization & Repolarization Depolarization: (Remove imbalance) Na+ pump opens  Na+ flows inward Depolarization  Temporary Balance REMEMBER: In this scenario, balance is NOT normal in this part of your body! Your body will FORCE repolarization! Repolarization: (Imbalance Again) K+ pump opens  TONS of K+ flows outward Repolarization REMEMBER: K+ needs to be in, and Na+ out!

(5) Action Potential The action potential IS the nerve impulse, which IS Depolarization  Repolarization! Process: Stimulus  Opening of Na+ Pumps  Movement Inward of Na+  Depolarization & Shutting of Na+ Pumps Depolarization  Opening of K+ Pumps  Movement Outward of K+  Repolarization & Shutting of K+ Pumps

(6) Regaining Resting Potential Action Potential caused Na+ to be on the inside, and K+ to be on the outside. Change = NOT NORMAL Not Normal  Homeostasis kicks in! Na+ and K+ Pumps Actively Transport (using ATP) Na+ and K+ back out/in of the axon Na+ pushes out K+ pushes in Resting Potential regained

(7) Myelin & Action Potential Myelin = Insulation along axon Creates “gaps” between Na+ and K+ pumps in membrane… “Gaps”  electrical jumping Ions fly down to the next set of pumps Increases Speed of Current / Impulse
