Peripheral Nervous System Somatic nerves Motor functions Motor functions (Shown in green) (Shown in green) Autonomic nerves Visceral functions Visceral functions (Shown in red) (Shown in red)
6
Two Types of Autonomic Nerves Sympathetic Parasympathetic Most organs receive input from both Usually have opposite effects on organ
7
Sympathetic Nerves Promote responses that prepare the body for stress or physical activity (fight-or-flight response)
8
Parasympathetic Nerves Promote housekeeping responses such as digestion
9
Both Systems Are Usually Active Most organs are continually receiving both sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation For example, sympathetic nerves signal heart to speed up; parasympathetic stimulate it to slow down Which dominates depends on situation

How Ions Move across Membrane resting potential video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCE8baQaiK8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCE8baQaiK8 Passive transporters with open channels Passive transporters with voltage-sensitive gated channels Active transporters Lipid bilayer of neuron membrane Interstitial fluid CytoplasmNa + /K + pump Figure 34.7 Page 577
19
Pumping and Leaking (find the diagram error) Interstitial fluid Plasma membrane Cytoplasm Na + leaks in K + pumped in Na + pumped out Na + leaks out K + leaks out Figure 34.7 Page 577
20
Ion concentrations Ion Movement
21
Ion Concentrations at Resting Potential Potassium (K + ) Higher inside axon Higher inside axon Sodium (Na + ) Higher outside axon Higher outside axon
22
Action potential propagation Action Potential
23
Positive Feedback propagation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plFOiU7sTO4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plFOiU7sTO4 neuron becomes more positive inside more gated channels for Na + open more Na + ions flow into the neuron
24
All or Nothing All action potentials are the same size If stimulation is below threshold level, no action potential occurs If it is above threshold level, cell is always depolarized to the same level
25
Repolarization Once peak depolarization is reached, Na + gates close and K + gates open Movement of K + out of cell repolarizes the cell The inside of the cell once again becomes more negative than the outside Refractory period * unidirectional video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifD1YG07fB8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifD1YG07fB8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EyhsOewnH4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EyhsOewnH4

28
Propagation of Action Potentials An action potential in one part of an axon brings a neighboring region to threshold Action potential occurs in one patch of membrane after another
29
Chemical Synapse Gap between the terminal ending of an axon and the input zone of another cell synaptic vesicle plasma membrane of axon ending of presynapic cell plasma membrane of postsynapic cell synaptic cleft membrane receptor Figure 34.10a Page 580
30
Synaptic Transmission Action potential at end of presynaptic cell axon causes voltage-gated calcium channels to open Flow of calcium into presynaptic cell causes release of neurotransmitter into synaptic cleft
31
Synaptic Transmission Neurotransmitter diffuses across cleft and binds to receptors on membrane of postsynaptic cell Binding of neurotransmitter to receptors opens ion channels in the membrane of postsynaptic cell

Neurotransmitters ACh Norepinephrine Epinephrine Dopamine Serotonin GABA Derived from amino acids
37
Neuroglia cells > half the volume of the nervous system Cells that metabolically assist, structurally support, and protect the neurons
38
Types of Neuroglia Oligodendrites make myelin in the brain Schwann cells make myelin in peripheral nerves Astrocytes - control ion & neurotrans conc. - make lactate to fuel neurons - make nerve growth factor

Myelin Sheath A series of Schwann cells Sheath blocks ion movements Action potential must “jump” from node to node Figure 34.15b Page 584

43
Reflexes Automatic movements made in response to stimuli In the simplest reflex arcs, sensory neurons synapse directly on motor neurons Most reflexes involve an interneuron

46
Function of the Spinal Cord Expressway for signals between brain and peripheral nerves Sensory and motor neurons make direct reflex connections in the spinal cord Spinal reflexes do not involve the brain
