1. Neural Control
and Coordination

2. Introduction
As you know the function of the organs system in our body must be coordinated to maintain homeostasis . Coordination is the process through which two or more organs interact and complement the function of one another . The NEURAL SYSTEM provides an organized network of point to point connection for a quick coordination

3. Neural system
The neural system of all animals is composed of highly specializes cells called the NEURON which can detect, receive and transmit different kinds of stimuli.

5. Neuron as Structural and Functional Unit of Neural System
A neuron is a microscopic structure composed of three major parts namely CELL BODY (cyton), DENDTRITES AND AXON.

6. Structure of a Neuron A neuron is made up of two main parts; Cyton
Axon
Cyton – also called cell body, contains a large prominent
nucleus in the center. The cell membrane is branched into
several cytoplasmic branches called dendrites which
receive impulse.

7. Axon-The long cytoplasmic projection of the neuron that extends from the cell body. An axon is covered by a myelinated sheath. Axons carry the impulse they receive from the cyton. They usually terminate into another neuron or an organ or gland or muscle.

Generation and
conduction of nerve impulse

10. Neurons are excitable cells because their membranes are in a polarized state
In resting state the axonal membrane is more permeable to potassium ions as compared to sodium ions
Similarly the membrane is impermeable to negatively charged proteins present in the axoplasm
The axoplasm contains high concentration of potassium ion and low concentration of sodium ions and its vice versa in the fluid outside the axon
The gradient is maintained by the active transportation of ions by the sodium- potassium pump which transport 3 sodium ions outwards for 2 potassium ions into the cell

11. Transmission of Impulse
A nerve impulse is transmitted from one neuron to another through junction called synapses. A synapse is formed by the membrane of a pre-synaptic neuron and a post- synaptic neuron, which may or may not be separated by a gap called synaptic cleft

12. Two types of Synapses Electrical synapses chemical synapses
In this the membrane of pre and post synaptic neurons are very close to each other.
Electric current can flow directly from one neuron to other through these synapses.
Impulse transmission is faster
In this there is presence of synaptic cleft i.e.. The two neurons are well separated from each other.
For the flow of current from one neuron to other, a chemical called neurotransmitter is secreted in the synaptic cleft.
Impulse transmission is slow.

Chemical synapses

14. Central Neural System The Brain
The human brain is the central information processing organ of our body and acts as the command and control system
it is well protected by the skull
It is mainly divided into three parts
Forebrain
Midbrain
Hindbrain

15. Forebrain
The forebrain consists of cerebrum, thalamus and hypothalamus.
Cerebrum forms the major part of the human brain

16. Midbrain
The midbrain is located between the thalamus/hypothalamus of the forebrain and pons of the hind brain

17. Hindbrain
The hindbrain comprises pons, cerebellum and medulla.

18. Reflex Action and Reflex Arc
The process of response to a peripheral nervous stimulation, that occurs involuntarily i.e...without conscious efforts or thought and requires the involvement of a part of the central nervous system is called reflex action
