AP Biology Nervous System

Regents Biology Why do animals need a nervous system?  Because the world is always coming at you! Remember… think about the bunny… Poor bunny!

Regents Biology Nervous System  Central nervous system  brain & spinal chord  Peripheral nervous system  nerves from senses  nerves to muscles cerebrum cerebellum spinal cord cervical nerves thoracic nerves lumbar nerves femoral nerve sciatic nerve tibial nerve

Regents Biology Nervous system cells dendrites cell body axon synapse  Neuron  a nerve cell signal direction signal direction

Regents Biology Fun facts about neurons  Most specialized cell in animals  Longest cell  blue whale neuron  meters  giraffe axon  5 meters  human neuron  1-2 meters Nervous system allows for 1 millisecond response time

Regents Biology signal direction myelin coating Myelin coating  Axon coated with insulation made of myelin cells  speeds signal  signal hops from node to node  330 mph vs. 11 mph Multiple Sclerosis  immune system (T cells) attacks myelin coating  loss of signal Multiple Sclerosis  immune system (T cells) attacks myelin coating  loss of signal

Regents Biology Synapse synapse Junction between nerve cells  1st cell releases chemical to trigger next cell  where drugs affect nervous system

Regents Biology Types of neurons sensory neuron (from senses) interneuron (brain & spinal chord) motor neuron (to muscle)

Regents Biology Human brain

Regents Biology Primitive brain  The “lower brain”  medulla oblongata  pons  cerebellum  Functions  basic body functions  breathing, heart, digestion, swallowing, vomiting  homeostasis  coordination of movement

Regents Biology Higher brain  Cerebrum  2 hemispheres  left = right side of body  right = left side of body  Corpus callosum  connection between 2 hemispheres

Regents Biology Division of Brain Function  Left hemisphere  “logic side”  language, math, logic operations, vision & hearing details  fine motor control  Right hemisphere  “creative side”  pattern recognition, spatial relationships, non-verbal ideas, emotions, multi-tasking

Regents Biology Cerebrum specialization frontal temporal  Regions specialized for different functions  Lobes  frontal  speech, control of emotions  temporal  smell, hearing  occipital  vision  parietal  speech, taste reading occipital parietal

Regents Biology Limbic system Controls basic emotions (fear, anger), involved in emotional bonding, establishes emotional memory

Regents Biology Simplest Nerve Circuit  Reflex, or automatic response  rapid response  automated  signal only goes to spinal cord  no higher level processing  advantage  essential actions  don’t need to think or make decisions about  blinking  balance  pupil dilation  startle

AP Biology cerebrum cerebellum spinal cord cervical nerves thoracic nerves lumbar nerves femoral nerve sciatic nerve tibial nerve Any Questions??
