Introduction: A. The nervous system is composed of
neurons and neuroglia.1. Neurons transmit nerve impulses along nerve fibers to other neurons.2. Nerves are made up of bundles of nerve fibers.3. Neuroglia carry out a variety of functions to aid and protect components of the nervous system.

B. Organs of the nervous system can be divided into the central nervous
system (CNS), made up of the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), made up of peripheral nerves that connect the CNS to the rest of the body.

C. The nervous system provides sensory, integrative, and motor
functions to the body.1. Motor functions can be
divided into the consciously controlled somatic nervous system and the unconscious autonomic system.

General Functions of the Nervous System A. Sensory receptors at the ends of peripheral nerves gather information and convert it into nerve impulses.B. When sensory impulses are integrated in the brain as perceptions, this is the integrative function of the nervous system.C. Conscious or subconscious decisions follow, leading to motor functions via effectors.

Neuroglial Cells A. Classification of Neuroglial Cells
1. Neuroglial cells fill spaces, support neurons, provide structural
frameworks, produce myelin, and carry on phagocytosis. Four are in the CNS and the last in the PNS.
2. Microglial cells are small cells that phagocytize bacterial cells and cellular debris.

B. Nerve fibers include a solitary axon and numerous dendrites.
1. Branching dendrites carry impulses from other
neurons (or from receptors) toward the cell body.
2. The axon transmits the impulse away from the axonal hillock of the cell body and may give off side branches.

3. Larger axons are enclosed by sheaths of myelin provided by Schwann cells and are myelinated fibers.a. The outer layer of myelin is surrounded by a neurilemma (neurilemmal sheath) made up of the cytoplasm and nuclei of the Schwann cell.b. Narrow gaps in the myelin sheath between Schwann cells are called nodes of Ranvier.

B. Classification of Neurons 1. Bipolar neurons are found in the eyes, nose, and ears, and have a single axon and a single dendrite extending from opposite sides of the cell body.2. Unipolar neurons are found in
ganglia outside the CNS and have an axon and a dendrite arising from a single short fiber extending from
the cell body.

3. Multipolar neurons have many nerve fibers arising from their cell bodies and are
commonly found in the brain and spinal cord.

C. Resting Potential 1. Due to active transport, the cell maintains a greater concentration of sodium ions outside and a greater concentration of potassium ions inside the membrane.2. The inside of the membrane has excess negative charges, while the outside has more positive charges.3. This separation of charge, or potential difference, is called the resting potential.

D. Potential Changes 1. Stimulation of a membrane can
locally affect its resting potential.2. When the membrane potential
becomes less negative, the membrane is depolarized.
3. If sufficiently strong depolarization occurs, a threshold potential is achieved as ion channels open.

E. Action Potential 1. At threshold potential,
membrane permeability to sodium suddenly changes in the region of stimulation.
2. As sodium channels open, sodium ions rush in, and the membrane potential changes and becomes depolarized.

When stimulated past threshold (about –30mV in humans), sodium channels open and sodium rushes into the axon, causing a region of positive charge within the axon. This is called depolarization

3. At the same time, potassium channels open to allow
potassium ions to leave the cell, the membrane becomes
repolarized, and resting potential is reestablished.
4. This rapid sequence of events is the action potential.5. The active transport
mechanism then works to maintain the original concentrations of sodium and
potassium ions.

The region of positive charge causes nearby voltage gated sodium channels to close. Just after the sodium channels close, the potassium channels open wide, and potassium exits the axon, so the charge across the membrane is brought back to its resting potential. This is called
repolarization.

Nerve Impulse
A. A nerve impulse is conducted as action potential is reached at the trigger zone and spreads by a local current flowing down the fiber, and adjacent areas of the membrane
reach action potential.

A nerve impulse is self-propagating. At the leading edge
of an action potential, sodium gates open, allowing sodium ions to flow into the cell. This flow of ions triggers more sodium gates
to open, causing the action potential to move.
At the trailing edge of an action potential, potassium gates open, allowing positive ions to flow out, and restoring the resting
potential of the neuron.

B. Impulse Conduction 1. Unmyelinated fibers conduct
impulses over their entire membrane surface.
2. Myelinated fibers conduct impulses from node of Ranvier
to node of Ranvier, a phenomenon called saltatory conduction.
3. Saltatory conduction is many times faster than conduction on
unmyelinated neurons.

C. All-or-None Response 1. If a nerve fiber responds
at all to a stimulus, it responds completely by conducting an impulse (all-or-none response).
2. Greater intensity of stimulation triggers more
impulses per second, not stronger impulses.

The Synapse
A. Nerve impulses travel from neuron to neuron along complex nerve pathways.
B. The junction between two communicating neurons is
called a synapse; there exists a synaptic cleft between them across which the impulse must be conveyed.

D. Excitatory and Inhibitory Actions1. Neurotransmitters that increase postsynaptic membrane permeability to sodium ions may trigger impulses and are thus excitatory.2. Other neurotransmitters may decrease membrane permeability to sodium ions, reducing the chance that it will reach threshold, and are thus inhibitory.

E. Neurotransmitters1. At least 50 kinds of
neurotransmitters are produced by the nervous system, most of which are synthesized in the cytoplasm
of the synaptic knobs and stored in synaptic vesicles.
2. When an action potential reaches the synaptic knob,
calcium ions rush inward and, in response, some synaptic vesicles fuse with the
membrane and release their contents to the synaptic cleft.

Impulse Processing A. How impulses are processed is
dependent upon how neurons are organized in the brain and spinal cord.
B. Neuronal Pools 1. Neurons within the CNS are
organized into neuronal pools with varying numbers of cells.
2. Each pool receives input from afferent nerves and processes the information according to the special characteristics of the pool.

C. Facilitation 1. A particular neuron of a
pool may receive excitatory or inhibitory stimulation; if
the net effect is excitatory but subthreshold, the neuron becomes more excitable to incoming stimulation (a condition called
facilitation).

Cerebrospinal Fluid
77
•Cerebrospinal fluid is a fluid that circulates throughout the CNS. •located between the brain and skull and in the subarachnoid space of the spinal cord
![Page 78: 9 - 1 Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. *See PowerPoint image slides for all figures and tables](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5697c0041a28abf838cc4409/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)

•Cerebrospinal fluid has 2 important benefits to the central nervous system:
1. Circulation • delivers nutrients to the structures of the
nervous system • the cerebrospinal fluid removes wastes from
the brain and spinal cord, detoxifying the environment of the nervous system
2. Shock absorption • protects the brain and spinal cord from
trauma/injury caused by movement, falls, blows, etc.

C. Functions of the Spinal Cord 1. The spinal cord has two
major functions: to transmit impulses to and
from the brain, and to house spinal reflexes.
2. Tracts carrying sensory information to the brain are
called ascending tracts; descending tracts carry
motor information from the brain.

4. The main branches of some spinal nerves form plexuses.
5. Cervical Plexusesa. The cervical plexuses lie on either side of the neck
and supply muscles and skin of the neck.
6. Brachial Plexusesa. The brachial plexuses arise from lower cervical and
upper thoracic nerves and lead to the upper limbs.

B. General Characteristics1. The autonomic nervous system includes two divisions: the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions, which exert opposing effects on target organs.a. The parasympathetic division operates under normal conditions.b. The sympathetic division operates under conditions of stress or emergency.

C. Autonomic Nerve Fibers 1. In the autonomic motor
system, motor pathways include two fibers: a preganglionic fiber that leaves the CNS, and a postganglionic fiber that controls the effector.

2. Sympathetic Divisiona. Fibers in the sympathetic division arise from the thoracic
and lumbar regions of the spinal cord, and
synapse in paravertebral ganglia close to the vertebral column.
b. Postganglionic axons lead to an effector
organ.

3. Parasympathetic Divisiona. Fibers in the parasympathetic division arise from the brainstem
and sacral region of the spinal cord, and synapse
in ganglia close to the effector organ.

4. Autonomic Neurotransmitters a. Preganglionic fibers of
both sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions release acetylcholine.b. Parasympathetic postganglionic fibers are
cholinergic fibers and release acetylcholine.

c. Sympathetic postganglionic fibers are adrenergic and
release norepinephrine.d. The effects of these two divisions, based on the
effects of releasing different neurotransmitters to the
effector, are generally antagonistic.

5. Control of Autonomic Activitya. The autonomic nervous
system is largely controlled by reflex centers
in the brain and spinal cord.b. The limbic system and cerebral cortex alter the
reactions of the autonomic nervous system through
emotional influence.
