Nervous SystemNervous System Endocrine SystemEndocrine System
ComplexityComplexity More structurally complex; can integrate vast amounts of information & stimulate a wide range of responses
Less structurally complex; evolved from the nervous system
StructureStructure System of neurons that branch throughout the body
Endocrine glands secrete hormones into bloodstream where they are carried to the target organ
CommunicationCommunication Neurons conduct electrical signals directly to and from specific targets; allows fine pin-point control; transmission is hormonal: acetylcholine, epinepherin, norepinephrin, etc.
Hormones circulate as chemical messengers via the bloodstream; most cells are exposed but only target cells with receptors respond
Response TimeResponse Time Fast transmission of nerve impulses up to 100 m/sec
May take minutes, hours or days for hormones to be produced, diffuse to target organ, & for response to occur
EffectEffect Acts at the cellular level; Immediate and short-lived
Acts a the cellular level; Occur over time and are long-lived

Organization of nervous Organization of nervous systemssystems There is great diversity among animals. All phyla have a nervous “system”
except sponges. In the Hydra’s nerve net, impulses are
conducted in both directions causing movement of entire body.
Some cnidarians & echinoderms have modified nerve nets with rudimentary centralization.

Cephalization = evolutionary trend for concentration of sensory & feeding organs on the anterior end of a moving animal (Bilaterial symmetry).
Most bilateral animals have a PNS & a CNS (brain & one or more nerve cords).
Flatworms have a simple “brain” containing large interneurons.
Annelids & arthropods have a well-defined ventral nerve cord & prominent brain. Often coordinate ganglia in each segment to coordinate action.
Cephalopods have the most sophisticated invertebrate nervous system containing a large brain & giant axons.

Three overlapping functions Three overlapping functions of the Nervous System:of the Nervous System:
Sensory input is the conduction of signals from sensory receptors to integration centers of the nervous system.
Integration is a process by which information from sensory receptors is interpreted & associated with appropriate responses of the body.
Motor output is the conduction of signals from the processing center to effector cells (muscle & gland cells) that actually carry out the body’s response to stimuli.

Sensory neurons – convey information about the external & internal environments from sensory receptors to CNS; most synapse with interneurons.
Interneurons – integrate sensory input and motor input; located within the CNS; synapse only with other neurons
Motor neurons – convey impulses form the CNS to effector cells

Signals are conducted by nerves with many axons coming from many different neurons surrounded by connective tissue, the perineurium.
Found in both parts of the nervous system: 1) Central Nervous System (CNS) = comprised
of brain & spinal cord; responsible for integration of sensory input & associating stimuli with appropriate motor output
2) Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) = consists of a network of nerves extending into different parts of the body that carry sensory input to the CNS & motor output away form the CNS
![Page 12: The Nervous System Nancy G. Morris Volunteer State Community College Campbell Chapter 48](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8e5503460f94a770c2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Composition of Nervous Composition of Nervous SystemSystem
The Nervous System contains two types of cells:
1) Neurons – cells specialized for transmitting chemical & electrical signals form one location to another
2) Glia or supporting cells – structurally reinforce, protect, insulate, & generally assist neurons
![Page 13: The Nervous System Nancy G. Morris Volunteer State Community College Campbell Chapter 48](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8e5503460f94a770c2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
NeuronsNeurons
Possess a large cell body located either in the CNS or a ganglion
Possess two fingerlike extensions (processes) that conduct messages:
1) Dendrites – convey signals to the neurons cell body Numerous, short, extensively branched to increase surface area
2) Axons – conduct impulses away from the cell body. Single, long process
![Page 14: The Nervous System Nancy G. Morris Volunteer State Community College Campbell Chapter 48](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8e5503460f94a770c2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Vertebrate axons in the PNS are wrapped
in concentric layers of Schwann cells, which form an insulating myelin sheath.
In the CNS, the myelin sheath is formed by ogliodendrites.
Extend from the neuron cell body to many branches (arborization of the axon) which are tipped with synaptic terminals that release neurotransmitters.

Must cross the synapse, the gap between a synaptic terminal and a target cell (either another neuron or an effector cell).
Neurotransmitters are chemicals that cross the synapse to relay the impulse

Coordination by clusterCoordination by cluster
Nerve cell bodies are often arranged into clusters; these clusters allow coordination of activities by only a art of the nervous system
A nucleus is a cluster of nerve cell bodies within the brain
A ganglion is a cluster of nerve cell bodies in the peripheral nervous system
![Page 20: The Nervous System Nancy G. Morris Volunteer State Community College Campbell Chapter 48](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8e5503460f94a770c2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Supporting cellsSupporting cells
Do not conduct impulses Outnumber neurons by 10- 50- fold Several types of glia cells: 1) astrocytes – encircle capillaries of the
brain 2) oligodendrocytes form the myelin
sheaths that insulate the CNS nerve processes 3) Schwann cells form the insulating
myelin sheath around axons in the PNS
![Page 21: The Nervous System Nancy G. Morris Volunteer State Community College Campbell Chapter 48](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8e5503460f94a770c2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Myelination of neuronsMyelination of neurons
Occurs when Schwann cells or oligodenrocytes grow around an axon so their plasma membranes form concentric layers
Provides electrical insulation
Increases speed of nerve impulse propagation
In MS, myelin sheaths deteriorate causing a disruption of nerve impulse transmission & consequent loss of coordination
![Page 22: The Nervous System Nancy G. Morris Volunteer State Community College Campbell Chapter 48](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8e5503460f94a770c2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Nature of Neural SignalsNature of Neural Signals
Signal transmission along a neuron depends on voltages created by ionic fluxes across neuron plasma membranes.
Membrane potentials arise from differences in ion concentrations between a cell’s contents and the extracellular fluid.
All cells have an electrical potential or voltage across their plasma membrane.
The charge outside is designated as zero, so the minus sign indicates that the cytoplasm inside is negatively charged compared to the extracellular fluid.
![Page 23: The Nervous System Nancy G. Morris Volunteer State Community College Campbell Chapter 48](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8e5503460f94a770c2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Nature of Neural SignalsNature of Neural Signals
Ion channel = integral transmembrane protein that allows a specific ion to cross the membrane.
May be passive all the time or it may be gated, requiring stimulus to change into an open conformation.
Is selective for a specific ion, such as Na+, K+, and Cl-
A shift in ionic gradients is prevented by sodium-potassium pumps which maintain the concentration gradient.
![Page 24: The Nervous System Nancy G. Morris Volunteer State Community College Campbell Chapter 48](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8e5503460f94a770c2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Action PotentialAction Potential
A rapid change in the membrane potential of an excitable cell, caused by stimulus-triggered selective opening & closing of voltage-gated ion channels.
There are four stages.
![Page 25: The Nervous System Nancy G. Morris Volunteer State Community College Campbell Chapter 48](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8e5503460f94a770c2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Four stages of an Action Four stages of an Action PotentialPotential
1) resting stage; no channels open. 2) depolarizing phase – membrane reverses
polarity (cell interior becomes + relative to exterior); the Na+ activation gates open, Na+ rushes in, potassium gates remain closed.
3) repolarizing phase - returns the membrane potential to resting level; inactivation gates close Na+ channels & K+ channels open.
4) undershoot phase – membrane potential is temporarily more negative than the resting stage (hyperpolarized); Na+ channels remain closed but K+ channels remain open since the inactivation gates have not had time to respond to repolarization of the membrane.
![Page 26: The Nervous System Nancy G. Morris Volunteer State Community College Campbell Chapter 48](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8e5503460f94a770c2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Action Potential….Action Potential….
Refractory Period occurs during the undershoot phase.
During this period, the neuron is insensitive to depolarizing stimuli.
Limits the maximum rate at which action potentials can be stimulated in a neuron.
Action potentials are all-or-none events. The nervous system distinguishes between strong & weak stimuli based on the frequency of action potentials generated.
![Page 28: The Nervous System Nancy G. Morris Volunteer State Community College Campbell Chapter 48](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8e5503460f94a770c2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Action potential “travel” Action potential “travel”
Action potentials “travel” along the axon because they are self-propagating.
A neuron is stimulated at its dendrites or cell body and the action potential travels along the axon.
The signal travels in a perpendicular direction along the axon regenerating the action potential.

CommunicationCommunication Communication between cells happens across
the synapse Synapse – tiny gap between a synaptic
terminal of an axon & a signal- receiving portion of another neuron or effector cell
Presynaptic cell is the transmitting cell; postsynaptic cell is the receiving cell
There are two types of synapses: 1) electrical 2) chemical
![Page 33: The Nervous System Nancy G. Morris Volunteer State Community College Campbell Chapter 48](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d8e5503460f94a770c2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Electrical SynapsesElectrical Synapses
Allow action potentials to spread directly from pre- to postsynaptic cells via gap junctions (intercellular channels)
Allow impulse travel without delay or loss of signal strength
Less common than chemical synapses
Common in crustaceans

Chemical SynapsesChemical Synapses
Synaptic vesicles containing thousands of neurotransmitter molecules are present in the cytoplasm of the synaptic terminal of the presynaptic neuron
Chemical synapses allow transmission in one direction only
Receptors for neurotransmitters are located only on postsynaptic membranes

One neuron may receive information from thousands of synapses. Some synapses are excitatory, others are inhibitory (Fig. 48.11).
The same neurotransmitter can produce different effects on different types of cells
