Chapter 10 Nervous System I
The nervous system is composed predominantly of neural tissue Also has… Blood vessels Connective tissue
6
Neural tissue consists of two cell types:
1. Nerve cells/neurons: Specialized to react to physical and chemical changes in their surroundings
7
Surround and support neurons Nourish neurons
2. Neuroglial cells Surround and support neurons Nourish neurons Possibly play a role in sending and receiving messages Cell body

Functions of the Nervous System
3 major functions: Sensory Integrative Motor
12
Sensory receptors: Gather information by detecting changes inside and outside of the body
Light & Sound Intensities Inside: Temperature Oxygen Levels pH Levels Draw on Pg. 2
13
Integrative: Convert information from sensory receptors into nerve impulses and send them to the CNS
The signals are brought together creating sensations, adding to memory, and producing thoughts Draw on Pg. 2
14
Effectors: are on the outside of the nervous system
Motor Functions: Neurons that carry impulses from the CNS to responsive structures called effectors Effectors: are on the outside of the nervous system Include muscles which contract Glands which secrete chemicals Draw on Pg. 2
15
Motor portion of PNS can be divided into two parts:
Somatic nervous system: Oversees conscious activities Ex: skeletal muscle contraction 2. Autonomic nervous system: Controls involuntary actions Ex: heartbeat and glands conscious Involuntary or unconscious
16
In a nutshell…. The nervous system can: Detect changes in the body
Make decisions based on the info received Stimulate muscles and/or glands to respond Counteract changes to maintain homeostasis
