Objectives1. Compare the signalling function of nervous system vs endocrine system.
2. Classify the division of the nervous system into central and peripheralith their su!divisions
". #tate the three characteristics of neruons that ma$e them adapted fortheir function
%. &escri!e the structure of sensory neuron
'. &escri!e structure of motor neuron
(. &escri!e structure of interneuron
). &e*ne the terms+ ,mem!rane potential- ,action potential- ,thresholdvoltage- ,depolarisation- hyperpolarisation-
/. E0plain ho the resting mem!rane potential arises in nerurons a3 4 3 ions5
6. E0plain the role of neurolemma in maintaining resting mem!ranepotential
17.8utline the steps of an action potential including refractory period
11.E0plain synaptic transmission
12.8utline the steps of cholinergic synpatic transmission
1".&escri!e the role of synapses e0citatory and inhi!itoryneurotransmitters5

Neurons
• 9he neuron is a highly speciali:edcell type and is the essential cellularelement in the C#.
• ;ore importantly neurons formcircuits and these circuits constitutethe structural !asis for !rain function

Neuronal Communication
• Communication !yneurons largelyconsists of long<
distance electricalsignals and short<distance chemicalsignals.

Typical Neuron Parts
• Cell body (soma): contains most of organelles includingnucleus
• Nissl bodies: condensed stac$s of rough endoplasmicreticulum
• endrites: !ranched processes e0tending from cell !odythat receive signals from other neurons=tissues
• A!on: an e0tension that transmit signals to other cells.
• A!on hilloc": cone !ase of a0on> here an actionpotential is generated
• #ynaptic terminal buds: terminal part of the a0on thatsecretes neurotransmitters.
• #ynapse: ?unction !eteen the synaptic terminal of ana0on and another cell

#tructural iversity o$Neurons
• " main functional types of neurons+
• #ensory neuron: detect stimuliand transmit signals to C#
• %nterneuron: con*ned in C#>analyse and interpret signals
• &otor neuron: transmit signal toe@ectors
• 'anglion (ganglia pl): a cluster ofinterneurons in the C#

esting &embranePotential
• &embrane potential arises henthere is an uneual distri!ution ofcharges ions5 across the plasma
mem!rane.
• esting membrane potential of aneuron is the mem!rane potentialhen it is unstimulated. *+, to*-,milivolts

Neuronal Conduction
• 9he reception of a signal !y a neuron
of often may change the mem!rane
potential of a neuron resulting in the
generation of an electric current that
is propagated from dendrites to
synaptic !uds of a0ons

esting &embranePotential
• What stops the !uildup of negative chargeD
• 9he e0cess negative charges inside the cell
e0ert an attractive force that opposes theo of additional positively charged 4 3 ionsout of the cell.
• 9he separation of charge voltage5 thusresults in an electrical gradient thatcounter!alances the chemicalconcentration gradient of 4

4yperpolarisation5epolarisation
• 4yperpolarisation occurs hen inside themem!rane !ecomes more negative.
• yperpolarisation occurs hen a stimulus
increases the net outo of positive ions orthe ino of negative ions
• epolarisation: the inside of themem!rane FCG5 !ecomes more positive.
• O$ten by the opening o$ gated Na1 channels causing Na1 to di6use into
the cell

Conjugatebase5esonance
• esonance increases sta!ility !y dispersingnegative charge preventing reformation of acid
• Ethanoic acid is stronger acid than phenol
!ecause in the ethanoate ion, the distri!utionof negative charge cloud is distri!uted ordelocalised more evenly than on thepheno0ide ion
•
8n the Pheno0ide ion the negative charge isrepelled !y the !en:ene ring therefore it isdenser around the o0ygen atom
