1 Chapters 48 & 49 Campbell Biology – 9th ed.
Nervous Systems Chapters 48 & 49 Campbell Biology – 9th ed.

2 You must know The anatomy of a neuron.
The mechanisms of impulse transmission in a neuron. The process that leads to release of neurotransmitters, and what happens at the synapse. How the vertebrate brain integrates information, which leads to an appropriate response. Different regions of the brain have different functions.

3 Organization of the Nervous System
Central nervous system (CNS) = _______+ ___________ Peripheral nervous system (PNS) = _________________ Sensory receptors: _______________________ Sensory _____________: body  CNS _____________ neurons: CNS  body (muscles, glands) ______________________: connect sensory & motor neurons Nerves = _____________________________________ Contains motor neurons and/or sensory neurons

Somatic nervous system Autonomic nervous system Sympathetic division Parasympathetic division Enteric division

10 Neuron = ______ + __________+ ______

11 Neuron __________________: contains nucleus & organelles
___________________: receive incoming messages ________: transmit messages ________ to other cells myelin sheath: _____________ insulation covering axon, ________________________nerve impulses ___________________: junction between 2 neurons _____________________: ______________ messengers sent across synapse __________: cells that _______________ neurons Eg. _____________________(forms myelin sheath)

12 Schwann cells and the myelin sheath

13 ___________________________: difference in electrical charge across cell membrane
Microelectrode –70 mV Voltage recorder Reference electrode

14 The ________________ pump (using ATP) maintains a ________________ potential ________________ the neuron.

15 _____________________(nerve impulses) are the signals conducted by __________
_____________________: membrane potential at rest; __________________ Na+ ___________, K+ _______________ cell Voltage-gated Na+ channel = __________________ ________________________: stimulus causes a change in membrane potential Action potential: neuron membrane depolarizes __________________________ response _____channels open _____ channels open Na+ enters cell K+ leaves cell

16

17 Conduction of an action potential

18 Action Potential The resting potential of a neuron is -70 mV
Stimulus (and depolarization) must reach the Threshold of -55 mV in order for an action potential to occur = “all or none” response

19 Saltatory conduction speed: 120 m/sec
____________________________: nerve impulse ______ between ___________________________________ (unmyelinated gaps)  speeds up impulse Saltatory conduction speed: 120 m/sec

20 Cell communication: neurotransmitter released at synapses Axon (presynaptic cell)  Dendrite (postsynaptic cell)

21 Neurotransmitters Chemicals released from vesicles by _________________ into _________________________________ Diffuse across _____________________ Bind to _________________________ on neurons, muscle cells, or gland cells Broken down by enzymes or taken back up into surrounding cells Types of neurotransmitters: __________________: speed up impulses by causing depolarization of postsynaptic membrane __________________: : slow impulses by causing hyperpolarization of postsynaptic membrane

22

23 Examples of Neurotransmitters
Acetylcholine (ACh): stimulates muscles, memory formation, learning ____________________: (adrenaline) fight-or-flight Norepinephrine: ____________________________ ______________: reward, pleasure (“high”) Loss of dopamine  _________________ Disease __________________: well-being, happiness Low levels  ___________________ _______________: inhibitory neurotransmitter Affected by alcohol

24 Reflexes Simple, automatic response to a stimulus
Conscious thought not required Reflex arc: (components) Stimulus detected by _________________ ___________________ neuron Interneuron (spinal cord or brain stem) Response by _________ organ (muscles, glands)

25 Knee-jerk reflex

26 Evolution of Nervous Systems

27 Vertebrate brain is regionally specialized
Major Regions: forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain

28 Forebrain  __________________
Midbrain  ___________________ Hindbrain  __________________

29 Human Brain Structure Function Cerebrum Brainstem Cerebellum
_________________________________(learning, emotion, memory, perception, voluntary movement) Right & Left cerebral hemispheres _____________________: connect hemispheres Brainstem *_______________________________________* Basic, ____________________ survival behaviors Medulla oblongata –___________________, heart & blood vessel activity, ________________, swallowing, vomiting Transfer info between PNS & CNS Cerebellum Coordinate ___________________ & balance Motor skill learning

30 __________________: neuron cell bodies, __________________________ axons __________________: fatty, ___________________ axons
