Nervous System Functions
• Coordinate body functions
• Maintain homeostasis
• Respond to changing conditions internally and externally
• Made of 2 parts– Neurons – Neuroglial cells
![Page 3: 9.1-9.4 Notes. Nervous System Functions Coordinate body functions Maintain homeostasis Respond to changing conditions internally and externally Made of](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649de55503460f94adcbf0/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Neurons (nerve cells)
• Transmit information in the form of a nerve impulse
• Different parts of a neuron– Cell body-round area/has nucleolus– Dendrites-branches that receive the signal– Axon-sends the single to the next neuron
• Nerves-bundles of axons

Neuroglial Cells
• Provide physical support, insulation, and nutrients for the neurons
• Protection devices

Organs of nervous system are in 2 groups.
• Central Nervous System (CNS)– Made of brain and
spinal cord
• Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)– Made of neurons that
connect to CNS
Have 3 general functions:SensoryMotorIntegrative
![Page 6: 9.1-9.4 Notes. Nervous System Functions Coordinate body functions Maintain homeostasis Respond to changing conditions internally and externally Made of](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649de55503460f94adcbf0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
3 general functions
• Sensory-sensory receptors are at the end of peripheral neurons– Gather information about changes in and out of
the body• Example: temperature, light, sound, oxygen levels
• Integrative-bring all the information together to create perceptions from sensations
![Page 7: 9.1-9.4 Notes. Nervous System Functions Coordinate body functions Maintain homeostasis Respond to changing conditions internally and externally Made of](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649de55503460f94adcbf0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
3 general functions (cont.)
• Motor– Effectors-responsive structures that receive
impulses• Are found outside the nervous system• Example: muscle, glands
– 2 categories• Somatic-conscious control (skeletal muscles)• Autonomic-unconscious control (heart and smooth
muscle)

Neuroglial cells
• Produce myelin (fat that surrounds the axon)
• Fills space• Framework• There are different
types of neuroglial cells.
![Page 9: 9.1-9.4 Notes. Nervous System Functions Coordinate body functions Maintain homeostasis Respond to changing conditions internally and externally Made of](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649de55503460f94adcbf0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Types of neuroglial in CNS
• Microglial-support neurons– Phagocytosis of bacteria and cell debris
• Oligodendrocytes-found along nerve fibers– Provide myelin for myelin sheath (around axon within
brain and spinal cord)
• Astrocytes-between neurons and blood vessels– Support, join parts, help regulate ion and nutrient
levels, form scar tissue when injury occurs to the CNS
• Ependymal cells-cover special brain parts and close spaces between the brain and CNS
![Page 10: 9.1-9.4 Notes. Nervous System Functions Coordinate body functions Maintain homeostasis Respond to changing conditions internally and externally Made of](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649de55503460f94adcbf0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Neuroglial in the PNS
• Schwann cells-create myelin for neurons in the PNS
• Too many neuroglial cells-cause brain tumors (fast growing gliomas)
![Page 11: 9.1-9.4 Notes. Nervous System Functions Coordinate body functions Maintain homeostasis Respond to changing conditions internally and externally Made of](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649de55503460f94adcbf0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Neuron Structure
• Cell body– Cytoplasm, organelles, cell membrane– Neurofibrils-fine threads– Chromatophilic substance (Nissl bodies)-like
rough ER– Nucleolus
• Dendrites– Short, highly branched, receptors
![Page 12: 9.1-9.4 Notes. Nervous System Functions Coordinate body functions Maintain homeostasis Respond to changing conditions internally and externally Made of](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649de55503460f94adcbf0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Neuron structure (cont)• Axons
– Axon hillock-elevated portion leading into the axon from the cell body
– May have side branches– PNS axons-made of Schwann cells that make myelin– Neurilemma-covering that surrounds myelin sheath– Nodes of Ranvier-gaps in between myelin sheath of axon
• Myelinated in CNS are called white matter• Unmyelinated in CNS are called gray matter
– Axons can regenerate in PNS because of neurilemma– CNS are myelinated by oligodendrocytes-no neurilemma
so can’t regenerate

Groupings-Structuraltrigger point-sensitive region of axon;where nerve
impulse begins to be sent down axon• Multipolar-one axon and
many dendrites (brain and sc)
• Bipolar-1 axon, 1 dendrite (eyes, nose, ears)
![Page 16: 9.1-9.4 Notes. Nervous System Functions Coordinate body functions Maintain homeostasis Respond to changing conditions internally and externally Made of](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649de55503460f94adcbf0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Structural Differences (cont)
• Unipolar neuron-one axon, no dendrites– Dendrite near
peripheral body– Other part connected to
brain or spinal cord– Cell bodies of these are
bunched to form ganglia
• Outside the brain or spinal cord
![Page 17: 9.1-9.4 Notes. Nervous System Functions Coordinate body functions Maintain homeostasis Respond to changing conditions internally and externally Made of](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032801/56649de55503460f94adcbf0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Functional Groupings
• Sensory (afferent)-carry impulse from peripheral into CNS– Specialized receptor ends on dendrite tips– Dendrites are closely associated with receptor cells in
skin or in sensory organs– Unipolar, some bipolar
• Interneurons-in brain and spinal cord– Transmit impulses from 1 to another by forming links
with other neurons– multipolar

Functional groupings (cont)
• Motor neurons-efferent– Multipolar– Carry impulse out of CNS to the effectors– Stimulate muscle and glands to respond
