Nervous System Tayler Logue

The Nervous System  The master controlling and communicating system in the body Functions: o Sensory Input – monitoring stimuli occurring inside and outside the body o Integration – interpretation of sensory input o Motor output – response to stimuli by activating effector organs

Two Types  Central nervous system (CNS) o Brain and spinal cord o Integration and command center  Peripheral nervous system (PNS) o Paired spinal and cranial nerves o Carries messages to and from the spinal cord and brain

Central Nervous System  Command station o Brain and spinal cord serve the nervous system’s command station o When sensory input reaches CNS, the spinal cord and brain figure out the meaning o After, they send orders out to the body telling it what to do

Peripheral Nervous System pg.770  Sensory division o Sensory afferent fibers – carry impulses from skin, skeletal muscles, and joints to the brain o Visceral afferent fibers – transmit impulses from visceral organs to the brain  Motor division o Transmits impulses from the CNS to effector organs(Glands or muscles)

Two Neurons Interacting

Simple Reflex Arc  What it is: o The nerve pathway involved in a reflex action including at its simplest a sensory nerve ad a motor nerve with a synapse between

Elements of Reflex Arc  Receptor o Triggers Action Potential if change in environment, or stimulus is great enough to generate  Sensory Neuron o Action Potential is conducted to the CNS which terminates at a synapse in the spinal cord or brain stem  Integration center o Action Potential is carried via afferent neurons to the spinal cord or brain stem and the info is them processed  Motor neuron o Action Potential passes to motor neuron which conducts it to an effector  Effector o Action Potential stimulates effector to perform work (muscle or gland)

Cerebral Hemisphere, Diencephalon, Brain Stem, and Cerebellum

What they are…  Cerebral Hemispheres: Controls muscle functions along with speech, thought, emotions, reading, writing, and learning o Right hemisphere o Left hemisphere  Diencephalon: functions as a relay system between sensory input organs and other parts of the brain o Thalamus o Hypothalamus

What they are…  Brain Stem: regulation of heart rate, breathing, sleeping, and eating o Medulla oblongata o Midbrain o Pons  Cerebellum: helps maintain balance, coordination of voluntary movements, motor learning, and cognitive functions o Cerebellar deep nuclei o Cerebellar cortex

Nerve Impulse Passing Message  Membrane potential – when a neuron is not stimulated  Threshold – the critical level to which membrane potential must be depolarized in order to initiate an action potential  Polarization of the neuron’s membrane: Sodium is on the outside and potassium is on the inside  Resting potential gives the neuron a break  Action potential: Sodium ions move inside the membrane  Depolarization: as sodium rushes back into the cell the positive sodium ions raise the charge inside of the cell from negative to positive  Refractory period puts everything back to normal: Potassium returns inside, sodium returns outside

Neurotransmitters  Relay signals between nerve cells (neurons).  The brain uses neurotransmitters to tell your heart to beat, your lung to breathe, and your stomach to digest  Once the neurotransmitter is picked up by receptors in the postsynaptic membrane, the molecule is internalized in the neuron and the impulse continues. This process of nerve cell communication is extremely rapid.  Once the neurotransmitter is released from the neurotransmitter vesicles of the presynaptic membrane, the normal movement of molecules should be directed to receptor sites located on the postsynaptic membrane.

IPSP vs. EPSP  EPSPs are graded potentials that can initiate action potential in the axon, whereas IPSPs produce a graded potential that lessens the chance of an action potential in an axon.  EPSP - small depolarization is created; IPSP - small hyperpolarization is created.  EPSP - helps bring postsynaptic membrane closer to threshold; IPSP - helps bring postsynaptic membrane further from threshold.  EPSP - membrane becomes more excited; IPSP - membrane becomes less excited

Alzheimer’s disease  A brain disease that causes a slow decline in memory, thinking, and reasoning skills  Memory loss and inability for self – care  Affects an estimated four million Americans  Some medications to help with the symptoms have been developed, but no cure

Schizophrenia  A mental disease marked by disturbances in thinking and emotional reactions  Signs could include: parkinsonian type symptoms, involuntary movements, sleep disturbances, depression, irritability, anger, suspiciousness  Affects 2.5 million Americans; an estimated 40 percent of people go untreated in any given year  Medications that block dopamine receptors in the brain (chlorpromazine and clozapine) have been used to alleviate the symptoms
