1
Hormones chemical substances produced in small quantities in one part of an organism and then transported to another part of an organism where they bring about a physiological response
2
Hormones in Animals secreted by –specialized nerve cells called neurosecretory cells neurons that receive signals from other neurons and respond by releasing hormones –specialized cells called endocrine cells usually organized into an endocrine gland
3
Glands Secretory organs Endocrine glands –Produce hormones and secrete them into body fluids –Are ductless Exocrine glands –Produce variety of substance –Convey them directly to the target via ducts
5
Interaction of Nervous System and Endocrine System often cooperate and interact to maintain homeostasis of the individual some endocrine glands are controlled by the nervous system –Hypothalamus –pituitary gland (master gland) Many tropic hormones that stimulate growth in their target organs
7
Nervous Endocrine System System More structurally complexless complex Network of neurons branching organized into glands throughout the body Neurons conduct electrical signalshormones released into directly to the target the blood and travel throughout the body but only affect target Very fast conduction of signalmay take minutes to hours to days for response to occur
8
Nervous Systems Three Main Functions: 1. Sensory Input 2. Integration 3. Motor Output
9
Two Main Parts of Nervous Systems Central nervous system (CNS) –brain and spinal cord –integration Peripheral nervous system (PNS) –network of nerves extending into different parts of the body –carries sensory input to the CNS and motor output away from the CNS
10
Two Cell Types in Nervous Systems Neurons –Cells that conduct the nerve impulses Supporting Cells - Neuroglia
11
Neuron
12
Supporting Cells - Neuroglia provide neurons with nutrients, remove wastes Two important types in vertebrates –Oligodendrocytes – myelin sheath in CNS –Schwann cells -myelin sheath in PNS
13
Myelin Sheath Formation
15
Conduction of the Nerve Impulse Membrane Potential –Voltage measured across a membrane due to differences in electrical charge –Inside of cell is negative wrt outside Resting potential of neuron = -70 mV

1. Carrier in membrane binds intracellular sodium. 2. ATP phosphorylates protein with bound sodium. 3. Phosphorylation causes conformational change in protein, reducing its affinity for Na +. The Na + then diffuses out. 4. This conformation has higher affinity for K +. Extracellular K + binds to exposed sites. 5. Binding of potassium causes dephosphorylation of protein. Extracellular Intracellular ATP ADP PiPi P + K+K+ Na + 6. Dephosphorylation of protein triggers change to original conformation, with low affinity for K +. K + diffuses into the cell, and the cycle repeats. PiPi PiPi PiPi Sodium-Potassium Pump
19
Excitable Cells Neurons & muscle cells Have gated ion channels that allow cell to change its membrane potential in response to stimuli
21
Gated Ion Channels Some stimuli open K+ channels –K+ leaves cell –Membrane potential more negative –hyperpolarization Some stimuli open Na+ channels –Na+ enters cell –Membrane potential less negative –depolarization
22
Gated Ion Channels Strength of stimuli determines how many ion channels open = graded response
23
Nerve Impulse Transmission
24
Action Potentials Occur once a threshold of depolarization is reached –-50 to –55 mV All or none response (not graded) –Magnitude of action potential is independent of strength of depolarizing stimuli Hyperpolarization makes them less likely
25
Membrane potential (mV) 2. Rising Phase Stimulus causes above threshold voltage +50 0 12 3 –70 Time (ms) 1. Resting Phase Equilibrium between diffusion of K + out of cell and voltage pulling K + into cell Voltage-gated potassium channel Potassium channel Voltage-gated sodium channel Potassium channel gate closes Sodium channel activation gate closes. Inactivation gate opens. Sodium channel activation gate opens 3. Top curve Maximum voltage reached Potassium gate opens 4. Falling Phase Potassium gate open Undershoot occurs as excess potassium diffuses out before potassium channel closes Equilibrium restored Na + channel inactivation gate closes K+K+ Na + Na + channel inactivation gate closed
26
Refractory Period During undershoot the membrane is less likely to depolarize Keeps the action potential moving in one direction
27
Propagation of Action Potential Action potential are very localized events DO NOT travel down membrane Are generated anew in a sequence along the neuron

Saltatory Conduction
30
Transfer of Nerve Impulse to Next Cell Synapse –the gap between the synaptic terminals of an axon and a target cell
31
Transfer of Nerve Impulse to Next Cell Electrical synapses –Gap junctions allow ion currents to continue Chemical synapses –More common –Electrical impulses must be changed to a chemical signal that crosses the synapse
