The nervous system
• Receives signals, interprets them and sends out appropriate commands
• 2 divisions:– Central- CNS- brain and spinal cord- where integration occurs– Peripheral- PNS- nerves- carry signals in and out of CNS
![Page 3: Chapter 28- Nervous System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812e3a550346895d93aab3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The neuron• Nerve cell- carries the signal
– 3 functions:– Sensory input: signal from sense receptor to integration center– Integration: interpretation of sensory signals and formation of
responses– Motor output: conduction of signal from integration center to
effector- which performs body’s response
• Types of neurons-– Sensory- convey info from sense receptor to CNS– Interneuron- relays signal to other interneurons or motor
neurons– Motor- CNS to effectors

Parts of a neuron• Cell body- holds nucleus and
organelles• Dendrites- short branches off cell
body, receives messages• Axon- longer, usually 1 fiber, sends
signal towards other neuron or effector
• Supporting cells- protect, insulate and reinforce neurons
• Myelin sheath- made of Schwann cells- insulates
• Nodes of Ranvier- space between Schwann cells, signal jumps from node to node to move faster

• Nerve- cable-like bundle of neuron extensions wrapped in CT
• Ganglia- clusters of neuron cell bodies in the nerves
![Page 7: Chapter 28- Nervous System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812e3a550346895d93aab3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Nerve signal
• Change in membrane potential• Resting potential- voltage across the plasma membrane
– Diffusion of ions and Na/K pumps maintain resting potential
![Page 8: Chapter 28- Nervous System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812e3a550346895d93aab3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Nerve signal con’t
• Stimulus- factor that causes a nerve cell to be generated• Action potential- nerve signal- change in the membrane
voltage– When stimulus is applied- threshold voltage is
reached– Change in charge is caused by rapid movements of
Na and K at membrane channels
![Page 9: Chapter 28- Nervous System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812e3a550346895d93aab3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Nerve signal con’t
• Action potential propagates itself– Electrical changes in 1 section trigger them
in another– Frequency of action potentials changes
with intensity of stimulus

Synapse
• Space between 2 neurons or a neuron and an effector cell– Signal sent can be electrical or chemical– Synaptic cleft- gap between neurons, prevents action potential
from sending info, action potentials can be converted to chemical signals (neurotransmitters)
• The action potential triggers vesicles to fuse with plasma membrane
• Neurotransmitters bind to receptors and open ion channels to ions that start new action potential or stops one
• Neurotransmitter is then broken down or taken back into signaling cell

• Fig 28.7– Excitatory and
inhibitory signals
![Page 16: Chapter 28- Nervous System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812e3a550346895d93aab3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Types of neurotransmitters• Most- small N containing organic molecules• Acetylcholine- used in brain and between motor neurons
and muscle cells• Biogenic amines- important in CNS• Many drugs act out chemical signals
– Caffeine- countering effects of inhibitory neurotransmitters =awake
– Nicotine- acts as a stimulant by binding to and activating acetylcholine receptors
– Alcohol- depressant, inhibits effects of certain neurotransmitters– Prozac- antidepressant, blocks removal of serotonin
increasing amount of mood altering neurotransmitters available– Amphetamines & cocaine- stimulants, increase in release and
availability of norepinephrine and dopamine

Nervous system organization correlates with body symmetry
• Hydra-nerve net• Cephalization- concentration of NS in head end• Centralization- presence of CNS
![Page 18: Chapter 28- Nervous System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812e3a550346895d93aab3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Parts of our nervous system• CNS
– Spinal cord- inside vertebral column- where reflexes are controlled
– Blood-brain barrier- capillaries in brain restrict many substances from entering
– Brain and SC- filled with cerebrospinal fluid- cushions CNS, supplies nutrients, hormones WBC’s
– Meninges- layers of CT that protect CNS– White matter- mainly axons (myelin sheaths)– Gray matter- mainly nerve bodies and dendrites– Cranial nerves- signal to and from brain– Spinal nerves- 2 and from spine
![Page 19: Chapter 28- Nervous System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812e3a550346895d93aab3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Parts of our nervous system
• PNS (2 divisions)– Sensory- senses internal and external env– Motor – (2 divisions)
• Somatic- voluntary • Autonomic- involuntary- regulates internal
environment– Parasympathetic- primes body for digestion
and rest- activities that gain/conserve E– Sympathetic- prepares body for intense E- E
consuming activities

The Brain
![Page 24: Chapter 28- Nervous System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812e3a550346895d93aab3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The brain
• Hindbrain and midbrain-– Pons, medulla oblongata and
midbrain- brainstem- sensory filter, regulates sleep, coordinates body movement
– Pons and medulla oblongata- control breathing, and med. Obl. also controls circulation, swallowing, digestion
– Cerebellum- planning center for body movements, learning and remembering
![Page 25: Chapter 28- Nervous System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56812e3a550346895d93aab3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The Brain• Forebrain
– Thalamus- relay info to cerebral cortex• Sorts data as to what goes to cerebrum and what comes out
– Hypothalamus- regulates basics (body temp, BP, thirst, hunger) and biological clock- maintains daily biorhythms
– Cerebrum- consists of hemispheres- site of memory, learning, emotion, speech, formulate complex behavior
• Left side of cerebrum- language, logic, math• Right side- spatial, pattern, face recognition, music, emotional
processing

Limbic system
• Emotion, learning and memory– Includes parts of thalamus, hypothalamus, amygdala and
hippocampus– Amygdala- recognize emotion in facial expression and laying
down emotional memories– Hippocampus- involved in formation of memories– Moving from short to long term- enhanced by rehearsal, positive
or negative emotional states and association to previous learned data
