Nervous system CNS PNS
8
Nervous System Organization Central Nervous System (CNS) – Brain & Spinal Cord
9
Nervous System Organization Central Nervous System (CNS) – Brain & Spinal Cord – Integration Center
10
Nervous System Organization Central Nervous System (CNS) – Brain & Spinal Cord – Integration Center – Interpret stimuli & cause motor response
11
Nervous System Organization Central Nervous System (CNS) – Brain & Spinal Cord – Integration Center – Interpret stimuli & cause motor responses Peripheral Nervous System – Spinal & Cranial Nerves
12
Nervous System Organization Central Nervous System (CNS) – Brain & Spinal Cord – Integration Center – Interpret stimuli & cause motor responses Peripheral Nervous System – Spinal & Cranial Nerves – Link body to CNS
13
Nervous system CNS PNS EfferentAfferent
14
Subdivisions of the PNS Sensory (Afferent) Division –Carry impulse to CNS
15
Subdivisions of the PNS Sensory (Afferent) Division –Carry impulse to CNS Receptor types –Somatic sensory receptors –Visceral sensory receptors
16
Nervous System Organization Central Nervous System (CNS) – Brain & Spinal Cord – Integration Center – Interpret stimuli & cause motor responses Peripheral Nervous System – Spinal & Cranial Nerves – Link body to CNS
17
Subdivisions of the PNS Motor (Efferent) Division –Carry impulse from CNS to the _________ organs
18
Subdivisions of the PNS Motor (Efferent) Division –Carry impulse from CNS to the _________ organs Potential Effects: –Muscle contraction
19
Subdivisions of the PNS Motor (Efferent) Division –Carry impulse from CNS to the _________ organs Potential Effects: –Muscle contraction –Hormone secretion
20
Nervous system CNS PNS EfferentAfferent SomaticAutonomic
21
Efferent Subdivisions Somatic Nervous System –Motor nerves carrying impulse to _______ muscle
22
Efferent Subdivisions Somatic Nervous System –Motor nerves carrying impulse to _______ muscle – “Voluntary Nervous System”
23
Efferent Subdivisions Somatic Nervous System –Motor nerves carrying impulse to _______ muscle – “Voluntary Nervous System” – Conscious control
24
Efferent Subdivisions Autonomic Nervous System –Motor nerves carrying impulse to glands, ________ & _______ muscle
25
Efferent Subdivisions Autonomic Nervous System –Motor nerves carrying impulse to glands, ________ & _______ muscle – “Involuntary Nervous System”
26
Efferent Subdivisions Autonomic Nervous System –Motor nerves carrying impulse to glands, ________ & _______ muscle – “Involuntary Nervous System” – Runs on “Autopilot”
27
Efferent Subdivisions Autonomic Nervous System –Motor nerves carrying impulse to glands, ________ & _______ muscle – “Involuntary Nervous System” – Runs on “Autopilot” –Maintains homeostasis
28
Nervous system CNS PNS EfferentAfferent SomaticAutonomic Sympathetic Parasympathetic
29
Autonomic Nervous System Sympathetic Nervous System –Emergency situations –“Fight of Flight” response –Effects on body include: sweating scalp “prickling” increased heart rate Adrenalin release
30
Parasympathetic –Non-emergency situations Autonomic NS Subdivisions
31
Parasympathetic –Non-emergency situations –“Resting and Digesting” Autonomic NS Subdivisions
32
Parasympathetic –Non-emergency situations –“Resting and Digesting” –Effects include: decreased heart rate increases peristalsis bladder contraction

34
1.Neuroglia (“nerve glue”) Supporting skeleton for nerves Types of Nervous Tissue
35
1.Neuroglia (“nerve glue”) Supporting skeleton for nerves Insulate nerves by forming a “myelin sheath” Types of Nervous Tissue
36
1.Neuroglia (“nerve glue”) Supporting skeleton for nerves Insulate nerves by forming a “myelin sheath” 2.Neuron (nerve cells) Specialized cells that transmit _________ impulses Types of Nervous Tissue
37
R eceive signals from other __________ Dendrites Axon Synaptic Terminal Cell Body
38
Contains nucleus and organelles Dendrites Axon Synaptic Terminal Cell Body
39
Generates and transmits the ________ potential Dendrites Axon Synaptic Terminal Cell Body
40
Dendrites Axon Synaptic Terminal Cell Body Sends chemical signals called _____________ to adjacent neurons
41
Communication Between Neurons Synapse Sending NeuronReceiving Neuron
42
What is a Nerve?
43
Nerve. Bundle Nerve Neuron
44
Motor root - Carries signal out to organs
45
Motor root - Carries signal out to organs Sensory root – Carries signal in from organs
46
Motor root - Carries signal out to organs Sensory root – Carries signal in from organs Motor + Sensory Root = Spinal Nerve
47
Motor root - Carries signal out to organs Sensory root – Carries signal in from organs Motor + Sensory Root = Spinal Nerve Dura Mater - Tough Protective tissue
48
Summary Nervous system allows for sensory input, integration, and response to stimuli Nervous system can be subdivided based on function and location Nerves transmit electrical impulses down an axon
