Central nervous system (CNS) = brain + spinal cord Peripheral nervous system (PNS) = nerves throughout body Sensory receptors: collect info Sensory neurons: body CNS Motor neurons: CNS body (muscles, glands) Interneurons: connect sensory & motor neurons Nerves = bundles of neurons Contains motor neurons +/or sensory neurons
5
Peripheral nervous system Somatic nervous system Autonomic nervous system Sympathetic division Parasympathetic division Enteric division
8
cell body: contains nucleus & organelles dendrites: receive incoming messages axons: transmit messages away to other cells myelin sheath: fatty insulation covering axon, speeds up nerve impulses synapse: junction between 2 neurons neurotransmitter: chemical messengers sent across synapse Glia: cells that support neurons Eg. Schwann cells (forms myelin sheath)
12
Microelectrode Reference electrode Voltage recorder –70 mV
13
The Na + /K + pump (using ATP) maintains a negative potential inside the neuron.
14
Resting potential: membrane potential at rest; polarized Na + outside, K + inside cell Voltage-gated Na + channel = CLOSED stimulus Nerve impulse: stimulus causes a change in membrane potential Action potential: neuron membrane depolarizes All-or-nothing response Na + channels open Na + enters cell K + channels open K + leaves cell

17
Conduction of an action potential
19
Saltatory conduction speed: 120 m/sec
23
Chemicals released from vesicles by exocytosis into synaptic cleft Diffuse across synapse Bind to receptors on neurons, muscle cells, or gland cells Broken down by enzymes or taken back up into surrounding cells Types of neurotransmitters: Excitatory: speed up impulses by causing depolarization of postsynaptic membrane Inhibitory: slow impulses by causing hyperpolarization of postsynaptic membrane
24
Acetylcholine (ACh): stimulates muscles, memory formation, learning Epinephrine: (adrenaline) fight-or-flight Norepinephrine: fight-or-flight Dopamine: reward, pleasure (“high”) Loss of dopamine Parkinson’s Disease Serotonin: well-being, happiness Low levels Depression GABA: inhibitory NT Affected by alcohol
25
Simple, automatic response to a stimulus Conscious thought not required Reflex arc: 1. Stimulus detected by receptor 2. Sensory neuron 3. Interneuron (spinal cord or brain stem) 4. Motor neuron 5. Response by effector organ (muscles, glands)
28
Major Regions: forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain

36
Mechanoreceptors: physical stimuli – pressure, touch, stretch, motion, sound Thermoreceptors: detect heat/cold Chemoreceptors: transmit solute conc. info – taste (gustatory), smell (olfactory) Electromagnetic receptors: detect EM energy – light (photoreceptors), electricity, magnetism Pain receptors: respond to excess heat, pressure, chemicals
37
This rattlesnake and other pit vipers have a pair of infrared receptors, one between each eye and nostril. The organs are sensitive enough to detect the infrared radiation emitted by a warm mouse a meter away. Eye Infrared receptor Some migrating animals, such as these beluga whales, apparently sense Earth’s magnetic field and use the information, along with other cues, for orientation.
38
Reception Reception: receptor detects a stimulus Sensation Sensation = action potentials reach brain via sensory neurons Perception Perception: information processed in brain

Ulna Hinge joints, such as between the humerus and the head of the ulna, restrict movement to a single plane. Humerus Ball-and-socket joints, where the humerus contacts the shoulder girdle and where the femur contacts the pelvic girdle, enable us to rotate our arms and legs and move them in several planes.
