Harriet• Dr. Rufus B. Weaver, the school's foremost anatomy professor had a special project in mind for Harriet — a project many colleagues thought impossible.
• Weaver spent five exhausting months — working eight to 10 hours a day — painstakingly removing every bit of bone and flesh from the cadaver leaving only the nervous system and eyes.

• Animals have nervous systems that detect external and internal signals, transmit and integrate information, and produce responses.

Role of the nervous system
• The nervous system interacts with sensory and internal body systems to coordinate responses and behaviors.

What trends do you notice?

Noteworthy Trends In Development
• Increase in ganglia• Increase in sensory reception• Increase in cephalization– Cephalization is the concentration of nervous
tissue in the anterior region of the organism.

What would be the advantage of having cephalization?

Neuron Defined• The basic structure of the
nervous system that reflects function.
• The structure of the neuron allows for the detection, generation, transmission, and integration of signal information.

Neuron
• Neurons are highly specialized for the function of conducting impulses.
• There are three main types of neurons:– Sensory neurons– Interneurons– Motor neurons

Neuron• What are some notable differences between this
cell compared to a “typical” animal cell?

Neuron Anatomy
• A typical neuron has a cell body, axon and dendrites.

Neuron• A typical neuron has a cell body, axons and
dendrites. Many axons may have a myelin sheath that acts as an electrical insulator.

Saltatory Conduction• Saltatory conduction. Notice that the conduction
along a myelinated axon can occur quickly as large spaces can be skipped and impulse propagation occurs only at the nodes of Ranvier.
