1 Figure 11.3 Neuroglia. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Capillary Neuron
Astrocyte Astrocytes are the most abundant CNS neuroglia. Neuron Microglial cell Microglial cells are defensive cells in the CNS. Fluid-filled cavity Cilia Ependymal cells Brain or spinal cord tissue Ependymal cells line cerebrospinal fluid–filled cavities. Myelin sheath Process of oligodendrocyte Nerve fibers Oligodendrocytes have processes that form myelin sheaths around CNS nerve fibers. Satellite cells Cell body of neuron Schwann cells (forming myelin sheath) Nerve fiber Satellite cells and Schwann cells (which form myelin) surround neurons in the PNS. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

13 Figure Chemical synapses transmit signals from one neuron to another using neurotransmitters. (1 of 3) Presynaptic neuron Presynaptic neuron Postsynaptic neuron Action potential arrives at axon terminal. 1 Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels open and Ca2+ enters the axon terminal. 2 Mitochondrion Ca2+ entry causes synaptic vesicles to release neurotransmitter by exocytosis 3 Synaptic cleft Axon terminal Synaptic vesicles Neurotransmitter diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to specific receptors on the postsynaptic membrane. 4 Postsynaptic neuron © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

14 Figure 11.18 Postsynaptic potentials can be excitatory or inhibitory.
+30 An EPSP is a local depolarization of the postsynaptic membrane that brings the neuron closer to AP threshold. Neurotransmitter binding opens chemically gated ion channels, allowing Na+ and K+ to pass through simultaneously. Membrane potential (mV) Threshold –55 –70 Stimulus 10 20 30 Time (ms) Excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) +30 An IPSP is a local hyperpolarization of the postsynaptic membrane that drives the neuron away from AP threshold. Neurotransmitter binding opens K+ or Cl– channels. Membrane potential (mV) Threshold –55 –70 Stimulus 10 20 30 Time (ms) © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP)
