Neurons
• Dendrites receive stimuli• Stimuli pass down axons• Schwann cells contain myelin
(“white matter”)• Help increase speed of impulse
transmission
![Page 3: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Supporting Cells• Peripheral nervous tissue
– Schwann cells: wrap a layer of myelin around axons– Satellite cells: separate nervous cells from supporting
tissue
• Central nervous tissue– Oligodendroglia: myelinating cells– Astroglia: regulate ion content in intercellular fluid– Microglia: phagocytes – Ependymal cells: line the neural tube cavity

Question Tell whether the following statement is true or
false.
All neurons are myelinated.
![Page 6: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Answer False
Rationale: The myelin sheath increases the speed of impulse transmission (the impulse can skip over the myelinated/insulated parts of the neuron), but speed is not important everywhere (like the digestive tract). If every neuron was myelinated, neurons would take up a lot more space, too.

The Basics of Cell Firing• Stimulus opens Na+ gates
• At threshold, more Na+ gates open
• Na+ enters cell: depolarization
• K+ gates open
• K+ diffuses out: repolarization
Threshold potential
Resting membrane potential Stimulus
Action potential

General Organization of the Nervous System
• Begins as a hollow tube
• First segments of the tube become the brain
![Page 11: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Organization of the Spinal Cord
• Dorsal– Afferent– Sensory
• Ventral – Efferent– Motor
![Page 12: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ScenarioA woman developed polyneuropathy.
• Her spinal nerves were damaged
• She lost the ability to tell where her body was positioned
• She has to look every time she takes a step, to tell where she is moving her feet to
Question:
• What parts of her spinal nerves were damaged?
![Page 13: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Question If you place your hand on a hot surface, which
ganglion carries the impulse to the spinal cord?
b. Ventralc. Dorsald. Interneurone. Association neuron
![Page 15: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Answer a. Dorsal
Rationale: Afferent neurons carry sensory impulses to the spinal cord through the dorsal root ganglion; efferent neurons carry motor responses through the ventral root ganglion to effector cells in the tissue.
![Page 16: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Layers of the White Matter• Archi layer
– Connects neighboring segments– Contains neurons reticular
activating system• Paleo layer
– Fibers reach to the brain stem• Neo layer
– Pathways for bladder control and fine motor skills
– Develop by fifth year of life
![Page 17: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Brain Regions• Cerebrum• Thalamus• Hypothalamus• Cerebral peduncles• Cerebral aqueduct• Colliculi• Cerebellum • Pons• Medulla oblongata
![Page 18: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Functions of the Hindbrain• Medulla oblongata, cerebellum, and pons
• Reflex centers for heart and respiration rates, coughing, swallowing, vomiting, etc.
• Gives rise to cranial nerves V–XII controlling viscera, hearing, facial, and mouth/throat functions
• Cerebellum allows fine motor coordination
![Page 19: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

cerebrum to the hindbrain• Cerebral aqueduct lets cerebrospinal fluid drain
from the fourth ventricle inside the cerebrum• Superior colliculi control reflex eye movements• Inferior colliculi control reflex reactions to sound• Gives rise to cranial nerves III and IV, controlling eye
movement
![Page 20: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

and coming from the cerebrum
• Hypothalamus: homeostatic control
• Cerebrum
• Gives rise to cranial nerves I and II, for smell and sight
![Page 21: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Question Which part of the brain maintains vital functions
like breathing, heart rate, and digestion?
b. Forebrain
c. Midbrain
d. Hindbrain
e. Cerebellum
![Page 23: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Answer a. Hindbrain
Rationale: Also known as the brain stem, this is the vasomotor center that controls cardiopulmonary function and digestion.
![Page 24: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Dura Mater• Has two layers• Inner layer bends over
to form a fold (falx cerebri) that separates the cerebral hemispheres
• It forms a second fold (tentorium) that holds the cerebrum up off the cerebellum
![Page 25: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Dura Mater (cont.)
• Between the layers of the dura, at the base of each fold, venous blood drains out of the brain in a sinus
• Bridging veins carry blood from the brain across the inner layer of the dura mater to the sinus
• The sinus also collects cerebrospinal fluid
![Page 26: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Arachnoid
• Lies just beneath the dura mater
• Waterproof• Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
lies under the arachnoid to cushion the brain
• Extensions of the arachnoid (villi) poke through the inner layer of the dura mater into the sinuses, to let CSF drain into the sinuses
![Page 27: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Pia Mater• Lies right on the surface
of the brain• Holds the cerebral
arteries in place
![Page 28: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Meninges and Meningeal Spaces• Epidural space: meningeal arteries• Dura mater
– Subdural space: bridging veins• Arachnoid
– Subarachnoid space: cerebral arteries, cerebrospinal fluid
• Pia mater
![Page 29: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Cerebrospinal Fluid• Leaks out of capillaries inside the brain’s hollow
ventricles– Composition controlled by the blood-brain barrier
• Passes out an opening below the cerebellum• Circulates around the brain and spinal cord in the
subarachnoid space• Passes through arachnoid villi into blood in the dural
sinuses and is returned to the heart
![Page 30: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Autonomic Nervous System• Sympathetic
– Catecholamines– Epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine– Attach to adrenergic receptors
• Parasympathetic – Acetylcholine– Attaches to cholinergic receptors
![Page 31: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Adrenergic Neurotransmitters• Synthesized in the sympathetic system• Attach to adrenergic receptors
– Alpha-1 receptors: constrict blood vessels – Alpha-2 receptors: negative feedback to stop
neurotransmitter release– Beta-1 receptors: speed and strengthen heart – Beta-2 receptors: bronchodilation
• Neurotransmitter is removed from synapse by reuptake or degraded by enzymes
![Page 32: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Cholinergic Neurotransmitter—Acetylcholine
• Released from parasympathetic system and from motor neurons
• Attaches to cholinergic receptors– Nicotinic receptors: excite skeletal muscle cells– Muscarinic receptors: slow heart, stimulate GI tract,
vasodilate• Neurotransmitter is removed from synapse by
acetylcholinesterase
![Page 33: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Question
Tell whether the following statement is true or false.
The sympathetic division of the ANS is also known as fight-or-flight.
![Page 34: Neuro pptrevised](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052912/55a02b361a28ab0e1f8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Answer True
Rationale: The SNS is characterized by the release of adrenaline, which results in pupil dilation, bronchodilation, and increased HR, BP, and glucose production—all the things that come in handy when you are running from something!
