Myelinated Neuron
![Page 4: Nervous System - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012413/616dd87329d62e73dc6c74c0/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Myelin
• White, fatty material which covers nerve fibers(axons)
• Protects and insulates fiber• Increases the rate of
transmission of nerve impulses
![Page 5: Nervous System - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012413/616dd87329d62e73dc6c74c0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Myelination of axons outside the CNS
• Schwann cells – specialized supporting cells; wrap themselves around axon
• Coil of wrapped membrane = myelin sheath
• Sheath formed by many cells; has gaps(indentations) between cells –
• Nodes of Ranvier

Myelinated neuron

Impulse Conduction
• Fibers with myelin sheaths conduct impulses much faster than unmyelinatedfibers.
Nerve impulse jumps from node to node along fiber – this occurs because no current can flow across axon where there is a fatty myelin sheath.“Saltatory Conduction”

Multiple Sclerosis
• Degeneration of myelin sheath• Disrupt nerve transmission
![Page 11: Nervous System - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012413/616dd87329d62e73dc6c74c0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Physiology of Nerve Impulses• Resting – Inactive – State
1. Neuron is polarized = fewer positive ions on inner face of cell membrane than on outer face in tissue fluid2. Major + ions inside cell = K+
Major + ions outside cell = Na+3. As long as inside more negative than outside – neuron is inactive
![Page 12: Nervous System - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012413/616dd87329d62e73dc6c74c0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Generation of impulse
• Stimulus – may be heat, light , pressure, sound or chemical
• Result – permeability properties of plasma membrane change for very brief period1. “Gates” of Na+ channels open2. Na+ rushes into cell3. DEPOLARIZATION occurs = change in polarity across membrane
![Page 13: Nervous System - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012413/616dd87329d62e73dc6c74c0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Nerve Impulse

Propagation of Impulse
• IF stimulus strong enough and Na+ influx great enough, local depolarization activates transmission of long distance impulse (action potential, nerve impulse)
• All or none response (propagated over entire axon or does not happen at all)
![Page 15: Nervous System - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012413/616dd87329d62e73dc6c74c0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Repolarization
• Almost immediately, membrane becomes impermeable to Na+ and permeable to K+ ions.
• K+ flows out restoring the membrane to polarized or resting potential
• Finally, initial concentrations of Na+ and K+ restored by Na, K pump (pumps Na+ out and brings K+ in).

Conduction of Impulse from one neuron to another
• Generally, transmission of information from one neuron to another is chemical –via neurotransmitter molecules
• Neurotransmitters are chemicals released from an axon terminal, that diffuse across synaptic cleft and stimulate depolarization of the next neuron

Conduction of Nerve Impulsefrom one neuron to another
• Electrochemical event -transmission down neuron is electrical -transmission from neuron to neuron is chemical

Diencephalon
• Thalamus, Hypothalamus, Epithalamus– 1. Thalamus – relay station for sensory
impulses– 2. Hypothalamus – autonomic nervous
system control center• Regulate temperature, water balance, metabolism• Center for drives and emotions• Regulates pituitary gland
![Page 24: Nervous System - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012413/616dd87329d62e73dc6c74c0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Brain Stem
• Midbrain, pons and medulla oblongata• Ascending and descending nerve tracts• Control centers for heart rate, blood
pressure, breathing, swallowing, vomiting, reflex centers for vision and hearing, wake/sleep cycles
![Page 25: Nervous System - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012413/616dd87329d62e73dc6c74c0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Cerebellum
• Precise timing for skeletal muscle activity and controls balance and equilibrium
![Page 26: Nervous System - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012413/616dd87329d62e73dc6c74c0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Protection of CNS
• Meninges– Dura mater – outermost, leathery layer– Arachnoid mater – weblike, attaches
innermost and outermost– Pia mater – innermost layer , clings to curface
of brain
Meningitis – inflammation of meninges
![Page 27: Nervous System - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012413/616dd87329d62e73dc6c74c0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Cerebrospinal Fluid (CFS)
• Formed from blood by choroid plexes in “roof” of ventricles
• Similar to blood plasma• Function: Cushioning, protection
![Page 28: Nervous System - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012413/616dd87329d62e73dc6c74c0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Blood Brain Barrier
• Neurons separated from blood borne substances by blood brain barrier
• Capillaries in brain are relatively impermeable– Of water soluble substances, allow only water,
glucose and essential amino acids to pass through (many toxins, wastes and drugs cannot enter)
– Permeable to gases and fat soluble substances (therefore, alcohol, nicotine and anesthetics can affect brain)

Autonomic Nervous System
Parasympathetic NS –Origin: Cranial nerves and Sacral nerves
Sympathetic NS –Origin: Thoracic and Lumbar nerves
![Page 30: Nervous System - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012413/616dd87329d62e73dc6c74c0/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Autonomic Nervous System
• Together, the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems regulate autonomic body systems (including heart, smooth muscle in visceral organs, and glands) to maintain homeostasis.
![Page 31: Nervous System - Weebly](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022012413/616dd87329d62e73dc6c74c0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Generally,– Parasympathetic regulates systems “at rest”– Sympathetic regulates systems under stress
(e.g. excitement, fear, exercise)

Harmful Effects on Brain Development
• Nervous system is formed during the first month of embryonic development
• Any maternal infection early in pregnancy may impair nervous system development
e.g. rubella(measles)Other factors: lack of oxygen (may occur
due to smoking), radiation, drugs like alcohol, opiates, cocaine)
