Slide 1-

The Nervous System Millions of interconnected neurons form the nervous system Human nervous system two major parts: central nervous system and peripheral nervous system
Slide 2-

Nervous System Organization Brain Spinal cord Central Nervous System
Slide 3-

Nervous System Organization All neurons outside the CNS 31 pairs spinal nerves 12 pairs of cranial nerves Peripheral Nervous System
Slide 4-

The Brain - 3 Major Areas Cerebrum (telencephalon, diencephalon,) Cerebellum Brainstem (midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata)
Slide 5-

Cerebrum Composed of Telencephalon (Cerebral Cortex) and Diencephalon Cerebral Cortex is gray matter because nerve fibers lack white myelin coating

Slide 7-

Cerebral Cortex - 4 Major Lobes Parietal Frontal Temporal Occipital
Slide 8-

Functions of the Cerebral Cortex Intellectual processes: thought, intelligence. Processes sensory information and integrates with past experience to produce appropriate motor response.
Slide 9-

Diencephalon - 2 Major Parts Thalamus Relays stimuli received from all sensory neurons to cortex for interpretation Relays signals from the cerebral cortex to the proper area for further processing Hypothalamus Monitors many parameters temperature, blood glucose levels, various hormone levels Helps maintain homeostasis Signals the pituitary via releasing factors Signals the lower neural centers
Slide 10-

Diencephalon
Slide 11-

Cerebellum Located behind the brainstem Helps monitor and regulate movement Integrates postural adjustments, maintenance of equilibrium, perception of speed, and other reflexes related to fine tuning of movement.
Slide 12-

Brainstem Composed of midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata Maintains vegetative functioning Where is respiratory control center? Where is cardiovascular control center? Reflexes
Slide 13-

Brain Stem
Slide 14-

Spinal Cord Contains both gray and white matter Gray matter is H-shape in core of cord
Slide 15-

Slide 16-

Gray Matter Regions of brain and spinal cord made up primarily of cell bodies and dendrites of nerve cells Interneurons in spinal cord small nerves which do not leave the spinal cord Terminal portion of axons
Slide 17-

White Matter Contains tracts or pathways made up of bundles of myelinated nerves Carry ascending and descending signals Ascending nerve tract from sensory receptors through dorsal root, up cord to thalamus, to cerebral cortex Pyramidal tract transmits impulses downward eventually excites motoneurons control muscles. Extrapyramidal originate in brain stem descend to control posture.
Slide 18-

Descending Nerve Tracts Ascending: dorsal Descending: lateral, ventro-medial tracts

Peripheral Nervous System Thirty-one pairs of spinal nerves & 12 pairs of cranial nerves. Each spinal nerve is a mixed nerve containing: Somatic afferent Visceral afferent Somatic efferent Visceral efferent Which is a motor fiber?
Slide 21-

Somatic Nervous System Somatic afferent (sensory): carry sensations from periphery to spinal cord. Includes exteroceptive (pain, temperature, touch) & proprioceptive. Somatic efferent (motor): communicate from spinal cord to skeletal muscles.
Slide 22-

Autonomic Nervous System Subdivisions Sympathetic responsible for increasing activity in most systems (except GI) adrenergic fibers release epinephrine Parasympathetic responsible for slowing activity in most systems (except GI) cholinergic fibers release acetylcholine

Slide 24-

Autonomic Reflex Monosynaptic reflex arc Knee jerk response
Slide 25-

Complex Reflexes Involve multiple synapses Crossed extensor reflex
Slide 26-

Motor Unit A single motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers which it innervates. Represents functional unit of movement. Ratio of muscle fibers to nerve relates to muscle’s movement function.
Slide 27-

Neurons Two basic types Motor Sensory Three basic parts Axons Dendrites Soma or Cell Bodies
Slide 28-

Sensory Nerves Enter the spinal cord on the dorsal side Cell bodies lie outside the spinal cord in Dorsal Root Ganglia
Slide 29-

Motor Nerves Exit the spinal cord on the ventral side Cell bodies lie within grey matter of spinal cord Somatic innervates skeletal muscle Autonomic (visceral) innervates organs / smooth muscle
Slide 30-

Neuron Part: Axons Carry impulses away from the cell body
Slide 31-

Myelin Schwann cells wrapped around the axon of some neurons appear as multiple lipid-protein layers are actually a continuous cell increase the speed of action potential conduction
Slide 32-

Nodes of Ranvier Gaps between Schwann Cells impulse jumps from node to node saltatory conduction

Slide 34-

Neuron Parts: Dendrites and Cell body Dendrite: receives stimuli and carry it to the cell body Cell body: site of cellular activity
Slide 35-

Synapse Junction between the dendrites of one neuron and the axon of a second neuron Nerves communicate by releasing chemical messenger at synapse
Slide 36-

Synapse Important neurotransmitters: Monoamines Neuropeptides Nitric oxide
Slide 37-

Motor Nerves - Size Alpha motor nerves Larger fibers Conduct impulses faster Innervate regular muscle fibers Gamma Motor nerves smaller fibers conduct impulses more slowly Innervate proprioceptors such as muscle spindles
Slide 38-

Nerve Properties Related to Function Irritability able to respond to stimuli Conductivity able to transmit electrical potential along the axon
Slide 39-

Resting Membrane Potential Difference in charge between the inside and outside of the cell sodium in greater concentration outside potassium in greater concentration inside anions in greater concentration inside membrane permeability greater for potassium than sodium Na+ / K+ pump moves sodium out, potassium in
Slide 40-

Slide 41-

Generating Action Potentials Voltage gated ion channels sodium channels open --- sodium rushes in sodium channels close --- stops inward flow of sodium potassium channels open --- potassium rushes out Net effect - Depolarization then Repolarization electrical flow created by ionic flow, not electron flow
Slide 42-

Na+ / K + Pump Membrane bound proteins Utilizes ATP Maintains resting membrane potential Establishes sodium & potassium concentration gradients

Slide 44-

Neuromuscular Junction Motor neuron cell body and dendrites in gray matter of spinal cord Axons extend to muscle Axon’s terminal end contains a synaptic knob Synaptic knob has synaptic vesicles containing acetylcholine
Slide 45-

Neuromuscular Junction Axon leaves spinal cord. Extends to skeletal muscle. Terminal branches end in synaptic knob.
Slide 46-

Motor End Plate Area beneath the terminal branches of the axons Contains acetylcholine receptor complexes Acetylcholine binding opens the receptor complex Cholinesterase degrades acetylcholine into acetate and choline

Slide 48-

Tension Generating Characteristics All or None Law when a neuron reaches threshold it generates an action potential which is conducted the length of the axon without any voltage change when the nerve fires, all the muscle fibers it innervates contract
Slide 49-

Summation of Local Graded Potentials Temporal Summation additive effect of successive stimuli from an axon Spatial Summation additive effect of stimuli from various axons
Slide 50-

Gradation of Force Force of muscle varies from slight to maximal: Increase number of motor units recruited Increase frequency of motor unit discharge.

Proprioceptors Muscle Spindles Golgi Tendon Organs Pacinian Corpuscles Ruffini Endings
Slide 52-

Muscle Spindles Encapsulated fibers within the muscle belly Monitor changes in muscle length Monitor the rate of change in muscle length Respond by causing muscle contraction
Slide 53-

Golgi Tendon Organs Encapsulated receptors Located at the musculotendinous junction Monitor tension within the tendon Respond by causing the muscle to relax
Slide 54-

Pacinian Corpuscles & Ruffini Endings Encapsulated receptors Located near joints, in muscle, tendon, and bone
