Unit 10 - The Nervous SystemCNS, PNS, and associated components
![Page 2: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The Big PictureNervous system is divided into two main categories:
Central Nervous system (CNS): Brain and Spinal Chord
Peripheral Nervous system (PNS): Nerves to/from CNS
PNS is further divided into:
Somatic (SoNS): Connects the CNS to voluntary muscles
Autonomic (ANS): Regulates involuntary body functions

Big Picture Cont.Autonomic is further divided into:
Sympathetic (SNS): “fight or flight”
Parasympathetic (PSNS): “rest and digest”

Cerebrum ANATOMY
2 hemispheres
4 lobes (Frontal, Parietal, Occipital, Parietal) separated by sulci.
![Page 9: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cerebrum PHYSIOLOGY
Two hemispheres:
Right: creativity
Left: logic
Connected by the corpus callosum
CC is associated with integration of motor, sensory, and cognitive functions between the hemispheres.

Cerebrum PHYSIOLOGY
Sulci differentiate the cerebrum into 4 lobes
Frontal Lobe: Reasoning, Movement, Problem Solving
Parietal Lobe: Perception, Orientation, Recognition
Occipital Lobe: Visual processing
Temporal Lobe: Auditory stimuli, Speech, Memory

Control of the pituitary gland
![Page 14: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Meninges
3 Layers
Dura Mater: outer layer closest to skullArachnoid Mater: provides cushioning effect for CNSPia Mater: attached to brain, contains capillaries
Subdural haematoma (btwn dura and arachnoid) resulting from traumatic event causes bleeding and inter cranial pressure and brain trauma
![Page 19: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Remember...
The Peripheral Nervous System is composed of:
Sensory Neurons (Afferent Neurons)
Motor Neurons (Efferent Neurons)
What are these made of and how do they transport signals?
![Page 20: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Parts of Neurons
Receive signals from other nerve cells
Covered in synapses
![Page 21: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Parts of Neurons
Conveys electrical signals (range from 0.1mm to 2m)
Point of contact w/ cell body = Axon Hillock
![Page 22: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Parts of Neurons
Carry out basic life functions of the neuron, including production of proteins and ATP.
![Page 23: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Parts of Neurons
Protective covering of long Axons
Gaps btwn Schwann Cells are called Nodes of Ranvier
![Page 24: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
![Page 25: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Sensory (Afferent) Neuron
Take information from sensory receptors to the CNS
Chemoreceptors are specific to the function they perform (taste, pain, etc.)
![Page 26: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
![Page 27: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
InterneuronAct as middle men between sensory and motor neurons
Reside completely within the CNS
Have many varieties and are multipolar (more than one dendrite)
![Page 28: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
![Page 29: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Motor (Efferent) Neuron
Carry signals from CNS to effectors
Effectors can be glands or muscles as examples.
![Page 30: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Signal Generation
Electrical activity is due to movement of ions past the cell membrane (Na+ and K+)
Neurons have an Electrical Charge Different from the Extracellular Fluid that surrounds them. A difference in electrical Charge between Two Locations is called a POTENTIAL
![Page 31: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Signal Generation RESTING POTENTIAL
Positively charged Na+ pumped out of cell, K+ “leak” out passively.
Causes a negative charge inside cell
Cell is now polarized and maintains this situation until stimulated.
![Page 32: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Signal Generation THRESHOLD
Stimulation of the nerve is required to begin an impulse down the nerve
One sufficient stimulation occurs we can say that a THRESHOLD has been met
Once an impulse begins it can not be stopped, hence an “all or none” system is employed by neurons.
![Page 33: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Signal Generation ACTION POTENTIAL
Stimulation of the nerve causes gates in the neuron to open.
Gates allow positive ions (Na+) to enter neuron causing the neuron to DEPOLARIZE.
![Page 34: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Signal Generation ACTION POTENTIAL
After the impulse passes K+ gates allow K+ to leave cell
This causes REPOLARIZATION of the neuron.
![Page 35: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Signal Generation ACTION POTENTIAL
This depolarization and repolarization is what we call an action potential or nerve impulse.
![Page 36: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Signal Generation ACTION POTENTIAL
Na+/K+ pumps now return the respective ions to the proper side of the cell membrane
This is called the REFRACTORY period
No nerve signal can propagate during this period.
![Page 37: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Signal Propagation MYELINATION
Axons that are myelinated propagate signals faster
Signals jump between the myelination (nodes of ranvier)
Speeds of 200 m/s can occur
![Page 38: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The Synapse
Axons ends are slightly swollen and are called AXON TERMINALS.
These terminals transmit signals with dendrites, effectors (muscles) or receptors (sensors).
Small vesicles at the axon terminals contain NEUROTRANSMITTERS.
![Page 39: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The Synapse NEUROTRANSMITTERS
Chemicals that are released into the synapse
Ex: Acetylcholine (ACh)
Join to receptors on neuron receiving the impulse
Cause membrane to become permeable to Na+ and a depolarization of the neuron
Threshold is met, and a signal propagates along the neuron.
Acetylocholinesterase rapidly breaks down ACh so that the chemical signal stops
![Page 40: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
![Page 41: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Reflex Arc
![Page 42: Nervous System Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021506/588220a01a28ab3f4c8b7b35/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Reflex ArcSensory neurons are stimulated and send a signal to the spinal chord
Interneurons relay the stimuli to motor neurons
Motor neurons send the signal to the effector muscles
The Brain does not receive a signal before the movement occurs and pain is not sensed until after the effector has been stimulated
