Regents Biology Nervous System 1. Central nervous system  brain & spinal chord 2. 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 2 Parts

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 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

Regents Biology Organization of the Nervous System

Regents Biology Sympathetic nerves counteract the effects of parasympathetic nerves

Regents Biology The parasympathetic system returns the body functions to normal after it has been altered by sympathetic stimulation. In times of danger, the sympathetic system prepares the body for violent activity. The parasympathetic system reverses these changes when the danger is over.
