Topic 10 Nervous System Basics
3
Central Nervous System Peripheral Nervous System
Divisions of the N.S. Central Nervous System Processes & stimulates Peripheral Nervous System Nerves Three Functions: Sensory Integrative (associational) Motor Accelerator or inhibitory
4
11.1
5
Descriptive parts & terminology
11.2.1
6
Other terms: Synapse Neurotransmitters Nerve vs neuron Impulse
7
Anaxonic Brain & some senses Bipolar From sense organs
Neuron classification Anaxonic Brain & some senses Bipolar From sense organs 11.3+
8
Unipolar Most sensory neurons Long Multipolar In CNS Interneuron & Motor
9
11.3+
10
Schwann cells Neuroglia PNS Stabilizes Shields from… Neurilemma
Myelination Lipid membrane sheath Internode 11.5(1-3)
14
Distal end deteriorates WBC Schwann cells proliferate
Schwann cells assist in repair Injury Distal end deteriorates WBC Schwann cells proliferate Nerve Growth Factor 11.5.4
16
Cuboidal/columnar cells Between interstitial fluid & CSF
Neuroglia classification Ependymal cells Cuboidal/columnar cells Between interstitial fluid & CSF Produce, monitor, circulate 11.4
17
Microglia Structural support Phagocytic
18
Astrocytes Blood-brain barrier…transport Structure
Induces synapse formation Mops up excess…
19
Oligodendrocytes Structure Myelin sheath
20
Satellite cells Supports ganglia Regulate environment
21
Resting potential- potential for electrical work
11.7.2
22
Electrochemical gradient More permeable to K+
11.7.3
23
11.7.3
24
Opens only with specific chemical Ex. ACh at NMJ
Types of Gated Channels Opens only with specific chemical Ex. ACh at NMJ Dendrites & cell bodies 11.8.1
25
Membrane capable of conducting action potentials
Stimulated by change in potential Ex. Na+, K+, Ca+2 gated channels 11.8.2
26
Distortion of membrane surface Ex. Sensory receptors
11.8.3
27
11.9(1-3)
29
All-or-None Response Will respond or not at all Stimulus may become more frequent
30
Refractory Period Immediately following an action potential, the membrane can not be triggered by a threshold stimulus.
31
Impulse conduction Like dominos Unmyelinated Slower .
32
Impulse conduction Myelinated Faster Diameter α speed
33
Synapse terms 11.2.2
34
11.2.3
35
Transmission .
38
Excitatory or inhibitory Ex.
Neurotransmitters Excitatory or inhibitory Ex. ACh Serotonin Endorphins Dopamines
