Get Ready for Notes: Pg. 72-73 Title: Neuron Introduction
6
What is a Neuron? Type of nerve cell that makes up the nervous system Humans have about 100 billion neurons!
7
Function of Neurons To carry electrical messages/signals from the brain to the rest of the body and back to the brain
8
3 Types of Neurons 1.Sensory Neuron- Sends signals to the central nervous system (senses) 2.Motor Neuron- sends signals away from the central nervous system 3.Interneuron- connects the different parts of the central nervous system together https://www.youtube.c om/watch?v=r5nMVAjz 0d0
9
Dendrite Takes information to the cell body. Receives signals from other neurons. dendrite
10
Soma (cell body) Part of the neuron that contains the nucleus. soma
11
Organelle in the neuron that contains genetic material (DNA). nucleus
12
Axon Hillock Located at the end of the cell body and controls the firing of the neuron (action potential). axon hillock
13
axon Axon Takes information or signals away from the cell body (ex. highway)
14
Myelin Sheath Fatty layer that surrounds some axons in order to conduct faster signals. Myelin sheath
15
Node of Ranvier Gap in myelin sheath involved in sending messages. Node of Ranvier
16
Axon Terminal Sends information to next step. Part of the neuron that releases neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. Axon terminal
17
Neurotransmitters Chemicals that move across a small gap called the synapse that communicate a message to another neuron
18
Quick Check: What type of neuron sends this signal? You will have 15 seconds to choose which neuron you think does that job. You are going to write the name of the neuron: motor, sensory, interneuron. When I say go, you will show me which neuron type you think does that function.
19
Question 1 The thalamus in the brain sends a signal to the occipital lobe in the brain. 1.Motor Neuron 2.Sensory Neuron 3.Interneuron
20
Question 2 The chemoreceptors in the tongue taste a sour candy on your tongue. 1.Motor Neuron 2.Sensory Neuron 3.Interneuron
21
Question 3 The brain stem sends a signal to the spinal cord. 1.Motor Neuron 2.Sensory Neuron 3.Interneuron
22
Question 4 The spinal cord relays a signal from the brain to the bicep to pick up a heavy bag. 1.Motor Neuron 2.Sensory Neuron 3.Interneuron
23
Question 5 The mechanoreceptor in the inner ear tells the brain you are listening to the new Drake song. 1.Motor Neuron 2.Sensory Neuron 3.Interneuron
24
Question 6 The pain receptor in your gluteus maximus tells the brain that you are very sore from running. 1.Motor Neuron 2.Sensory Neuron 3.Interneuron
25
Question 7 The hypothalamus in the brain sends a signal for your arms to sweat when it’s a really sunny day. 1.Motor Neuron 2.Sensory Neuron 3.Interneuron
26
Question 8 These neurons are broken after his broken back injury, and Christopher Reeves, Superman, must now remain in a wheelchair. 1.Motor Neuron 2.Sensory Neuron 3.Interneuron
27
How it all works: Reflex Arc- involuntary and nearly instantaneous movement in response to a stimulus
28
Whiteboard Expectations 1.Only write what is asked of you. 2.Try every question. 3.Take care of our materials.
29
Sample Question Draw a picture of Phineas Gage.
30
Whiteboards #1 #2 dendrite axon #3 nucleus
31
Whiteboard Draw a neuron and label the dendrites and axon terminal.
32
Whiteboard Imagine two neurons are sending a message to one another. The message is being sent from the (1) of the first neuron to the (2) of the second.
33
Whiteboards… Draw a neuron and label the ________________
34
Whiteboard Explain how a message is sent across a neuron. Include as many vocabulary words as possible.
35
Whiteboard Do all messages received by the dendrites get carried forward?
36
Whiteboard Why is a neuron so differently shaped than the “typical” eukaryotic cell you imagine? Hint: form follows function
37
Whiteboard What neuronal structure is really exaggerated in this cell?
38
How are you feeling about the parts of a neuron? 1 - 5
