• Nervous System
• I. A. Introduction– 1. Homeostasis - maintain internal life
functions within a normal range– 2. Communication an important component
• Detect a problem - sensory system
• Correct the problem with an adjustment
• Communication between two components involves the nervous system and its principles
![Page 5: 6.a&p i nervous system2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554c8d69b4c905203f8b58eb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

• I. B. Organization of the Nervous System– 1. Central Nervous System (CNS)
• Brain• Spinal cord
– 2. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)• a) Somatic Nervous System
– Voluntary system that controls skeletal muscles attached to limbs / bones
• b) Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)– Involuntary system that controls cardiac and smooth
muscles (stomach, uterus, blood vessels, etc.) and glands– Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Divisions
![Page 6: 6.a&p i nervous system2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554c8d69b4c905203f8b58eb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

• I. C. Cellular Neuroanatomy– 1. Nerve Cell = Neuron
• Cell body = nucleus, Rough ER, neurotubules, Golgi, etc.
• Dendrites = processes which receive input to cell body
• Axon = longer process which communicates with other neurons
• Terminal Branches / End Terminals = end of axon that communicates with next neuron or muscle or gland
– How can we protect this long axonal process?

• I. C. Cellular Neuroanatomy– 2. Glial Cells - supportive cells of the CNS
• Protective, metabolic, phagocytosis, transport nutrients & wastes between neurons & blood vessels
• Schwann cells in the PNS and a glial cell in the CNS produce myelin sheath - phospholipids membranes of cell wrapped around neuronal axon, function:
– protection - regeneration
– Speed up rate of conduction down axon (node to node)

• I.C. Cellular Neuroanatomy– 3. Types of Neurons
• a) Sensory / Afferent Neurons - carry information about the environment (internal and external) towards the CNS
• b) Motor / Efferent Neurons - carry information away from the CNS towards the periphery & effectors (muscle or gland)
• c) Interneuron / Association Neurons – Only within the CNS
– Connect two other neurons together, any combination

• A. Introduction– 1. 1930s - at Woods Hole Mass., work on the
giant squid axon - nonconducting cell• Large enough to isolate from animal and remove the
cellular/axonal cytoplasm and chemically analyze

•2. Summary of Above Ionic Behaviors
• 2a. Against maintaining the neuronal ionic gradient
– Passive diffusion (high to low)
• 2b. Favors maintaining the neuronal ionic gradient
– Active transport of the Na+ - K+ pump– Electrostatic forces due to intracellular protein
negative charge• Keeps chloride out• Binds to positive K+ to keep intracellular

II. A. 3.Terms:• a) potential difference - difference in electrical
charge• b) polarized membrane - potential difference
across membrane due to combination of membrane permeability and ionic concentrations
• c) resting potential - non-conducting neuron with a potential difference across the membrane equal to -70 to -90 millivolts (mV) inside compared to outside
• d) action potential or nerve impulse or spike a brief transient change in resting potential

• B. Action Potential– 2. Electrode enters the axon– 3. Excitatory stimulus - below threshold– 4. Threshold stimulus - (outside) sodium gates suddenly open and
the Na-K pump OFF– 5. Depolarization - sodium continues to enter past 0mV (loss of
polarization)– 6. Sodium inactivation around -35mV as (inside) gate closes - too
much positive charge inside– 7. Repolarization - potassium out since Na+ gates closed & K+ no
longer attracted to positive protein– 8. Hyperpolarization - pump actively back on as K+ exit
overshoots resting potential– 9. Equilibrium or normal resting potential– 10. Inhibitory stimulus - a hyperpolarizing stimulus, harder to
excite neuron during this time period

Finally, let ’s add a pump to compensate for leaking ions.Na +-K + ATPases (pumps) maintain the concentration gradients, resulting in the resting membrane potential.
Suppose a cell has only K + channels...K + loss through abundant leakagechannels establishes a negativemembrane potential.
Now, let ’s add some Na + channels to our cell...Na + entry through leakage channels reducesthe negative membrane potential slightly.
The permeabilities of Na + and K + across the membrane are different.
The concentrations of Na + and K + on each side of the membrane are different.

• 11. All - or - Nothing Phenomenon
– Once threshold is reached, no variation in strength of response
– How does stronger stimulus manifest itself?
– Increase in frequency - not change in magnitude or height of action potential
• 12. a) Absolute Refractory Period - impossible to stimulate a neuron a second time while the Na - K pump turned off, from threshold to repolarization (while K+ moving inwards)
– b) Relative Refractory Period - can stimulate a neuron with a stronger stimulus, to reach threshold, while neuron in hyperpolarization
![Page 37: 6.a&p i nervous system2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554c8d69b4c905203f8b58eb/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

• 13. Propagation– Signal does not die out before
reaching the end of the axon, nor does it have to boosted
– Each area act as stimulus for the next portion of the membrane
– Depolarizing region with its positive charge moves into the adjacent negatively charges “sink”
– Why doesn’t action potential go BOTH ways in the axon??

• 14. Factors influencing conduction velocity– Size of axon - larger diameter means faster conducting
velocity
– Temperature - higher temperature means faster conduction velocity
• Cold block on axon stops conduction
– Myelin sheath faster conduction than non-myelinated axon

(a) In a bare plasma membrane (without voltage-gatedchannels), as on a dendrite, voltage decays becausecurrent leaks across the membrane.
(b) In an unmyelinated axon , voltage-gated Na+ and K+
channels regenerate the action potential at each pointalong the axon, so voltage does not decay. Conduction is slow because movements of ions and of the gatesof channel proteins take time and must occur beforevoltage regeneration occurs.
(c) In a myelinated axon , myelin keeps current in axons(voltage doesn’t decay much). APs are generated onlyin the nodes of Ranvier and appear to jump rapidlyfrom node to node.

III. Synaptic Transmission
• 1. Synapse = space or gap between two neurons or a neuron and an effectors (muscle or gland)– Electrical synapse - smaller gap where
electrical charge (action potential) of a neuron jumps the gap to stimulate second neuron (electric eel)
– Chemical synapse - larger space or gap where a chemical diffuses across synapse
– Large number of synapses on a neuron’s cell body and dendrites
![Page 43: 6.a&p i nervous system2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554c8d69b4c905203f8b58eb/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

• 2. Anatomy of a synapse– Pre-synaptic unit - end terminals of axon that
comes before the synapse, has action potential invading the end terminal where synaptic vesicles are located
– Synaptic vesicles contain neurotransmitters which will be released into the (chemical) synapse
– Post-synaptic unit - dendrites or the cell body (possibly the axon) of the next neuron in the sequence, after the synapse, or could be an effectors
![Page 47: 6.a&p i nervous system2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554c8d69b4c905203f8b58eb/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Signal travels from pre-synaptic, across synapse, to post-synaptic unit
![Page 48: 6.a&p i nervous system2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554c8d69b4c905203f8b58eb/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
48
• 3. Neurotransmitter chemicals– a) Synaptic vesicle of the pre-synaptic side are
membrane bound vesicles that contain specific chemicals = neurotransmitters
– b) There are dozens of different types of neurotransmitters
– c) Norepinephrine (norepi/NE)• Found in the CNS and the Autonomic NS
• Stimulates different parts of the CNS
• Can stimulate OR inhibit the ANS (see VI)
• Often similar action to Epinephrine
![Page 49: 6.a&p i nervous system2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554c8d69b4c905203f8b58eb/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
49
• 3. Neurotransmitters (continued)– d) Acetylcholine (Ach)
• Found in the CNS and the Peripheral NS
• Stimulates in the Somatic NS - skeletal muscles
• Can stimulate OR inhibit the ANS (see VI) - involuntary muscle and glands
– e) Serotonin• Found only in the CNS
• Inhibits a variety of neurons
• Anti-depressants (Prozac) work on serotonin
– f) GABA - inhibitory in the CNS
![Page 50: 6.a&p i nervous system2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554c8d69b4c905203f8b58eb/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
50
• 3. Neurotransmitters (continued)– g) Dopamine
• Found primarily in the CNS
• Can stimulate or inhibit different areas
– h) Nitric Oxide (NO)• Gas molecule released as a local regulator
peripherally
• NO causes smooth muscle to relax
• Work on blood vessels, smooth muscle of penis, etc.

52
• 4. Actions at the synapse– a) pre-synaptic unit fires / depolarizes / is active as an
electrical charge is propagated down the axon (remember Na+/K+ changes of part II)
– b) the electrical signal invades the pre-synaptic area of the terminal branch and the electrical signal dies - Why might signal die in this area?
– c) Calcium channels open and Ca++ enters the pre-synaptic area from the extracellular environment
– d) Ca++ causes the synaptic vesicles to migrate towards the pre-synaptic membrane and fuse with the membrane = exocytosis
– e) the vesicle contents - neurotransmitter - is released into the synaptic space and starts to diffuse across to the post-synaptic side

• 4. Actions at synapse (continued)– f) as chemical reaches post-synaptic membrane, it
reacts with specific receptors on this side to trigger a response by the post-synaptic unit due to a change in post-synaptic membrane permeability
– g) if the post-synaptic membrane is now more permeable to Na+ by opening sodium channels,
• this neuron becomes excited and depolarizes
– h) if the post-synaptic membrane is now more permeable to K+ or Cl-
• this neuron becomes inhibited and hyperpolarizes - WHY?
– A single post-synaptic neuron will have different types of receptors on its membrane - like a door with several locks - each receptor can be activated by a different chemical

• 5. Summary– a) Excitation or Depolarization
• due to increase in positive charges intracellular which brings membrane potential towards threshold which allows sodium gates to open and neuron fires
– b) Inhibition or Hyperpolarization• Due to an increase in negative charges intracellular
or positive charges leaving (K+) which brings the membrane potential away from threshold, making it HARDER to fire this neuron
– c) How do we turn off the neurotransmitter?
![Page 59: 6.a&p i nervous system2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554c8d69b4c905203f8b58eb/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)

• 5d) As long as neurotransmitter is present in the synapse, it will keep reacting with post-synaptic receptors and keep the gates/channels open or closed and the reaction continues.– 1. Norepinephrine and Epinephrine are
transported AWAY from synapse or transported back into the pre-synaptic unit to be recycles
– 2. Acetylcholine has specific enzyme in the synapse - Acetylcholinesterase - which cleaves the Ach into Acetyl plus Choline to be recycled
![Page 60: 6.a&p i nervous system2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554c8d69b4c905203f8b58eb/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)

• 7. Effect of Drugs on Synaptic Activity– a) Insecticide or nerve gas
• What is behavior of animal exposed to this poison?• Block the action the enzyme which destroys Ach• Acetylcholinesterase = rigidity of muscles
– b) Curare• Derived from plants• Blocks receptors on skeletal muscle • Prevents Ach from working - muscle flaccid/relaxed
– c) Stimulants / Amphetamines• Mimic action of Norepi in brain• Stimulate release of Norepi in brain• Dependency• What over counter pill a stimulant, but not used to keep you
awake?

• 7. Drugs (continued)– d) Depressants / Anesthetics
• Inhibit many centers in the brain
• Base of brain and higher up
• Overdose = depresses respiratory centers
• Alcohol?
– e) LSD / Hallucinogenic Drugs• Normally - there is inhibition between the different sensory
inputs
• Smell goes to one place, sight another region
• These drugs cause overspill of one input to different areas of the brain, so you see a sound, taste a light
• Yellow Submarine experiment

protects– Arachnoid membrane - middle layer that supports the
blood vessels in a sub-arachnoid space (web like appearance)
– Pia Mata - inner most membrane, (gentle) tissue paper thin but helps shape CNS, which normally has a jell-like consistency

• 9. Cerebral Spinal Fluid - CSF– a) Formed in ventricles of brain as a filtrate of blood,
CSF circulates through ventricles and central canal• Stabilize extracellular environment
• Tight junctions between capillary cells plus glial cells
• Selective, not absolute permeability - varies in different parts of the brain (hypothalamus, vomit center)
– b) Ventricles - fluid-filled spaces of brain (large lateral, 3rd, 4th ventricles)
– c) CSF carries nutrients, hormones, white blood cells and acts as shock absorber
– d) After circulating in the CNS, CSF returns to veins on the surface of the brain, carrying wastes

• 9. CSF (continued)– e) Meningitis - inflammation of the meninges,
bacterial or viral, can spread to the nervous tissue of the CNS
– f) Encephalitis - brain inflammation– g) Hydrocephalus - water on the brain - CSF
forms normally, but there is an obstruction to flow and it accumulates in ventricles
• New born - enlarged head since skull bones not fused
• Adult - compresses blood vessels and crushes soft nervous tissue
• Remove obstruction or insert shunt to drain CSF
![Page 72: 6.a&p i nervous system2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554c8d69b4c905203f8b58eb/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)

IV. B. Spinal Cord anatomy (continued)• 4. Trace the following pathway: (use diagram in notes)
– Sensory receptor or dendrites (stimulus)– Myelinated dendrite passes through spinal nerve– Travels up dorsal root– Dendrite finds its own sensory cell body in dorsal root ganglion– Central process/axon exits ganglion and travels in dorsal root to
spinal cord– Enters dorsal horn proper of grey matter and synapses with an
interneuron– Interneuron sends branch to brain AND branch to ventral area of
grey matter and– Synapses with motor cell body in ventral horn– Motor axon exits spinal cord via ventral root and enters same
spinal nerve (mixed)– Motor axon innervates an effector and a response occurs
![Page 77: 6.a&p i nervous system2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554c8d69b4c905203f8b58eb/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
77
• 5. There are synapses -– One between incoming sensory axon and dendrite/cell
body of interneuron– Second between the terminal branch of the interneuron
and the dendrite/cell body of the motor neuron– Third between the motor terminal branch and the
effector (neuromuscular junction)– Why is there not a synapse in the dorsal root ganglion?
• 6. Injections:– Epidural - outside the dura mater and outside the spinal
cord (more sensory in effect)– Subdural - into the CSF area of the middle arachnoid
membrane and penetrates the spinal cord (both sensory and motor in its effects)
![Page 78: 6.a&p i nervous system2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554c8d69b4c905203f8b58eb/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)

• 4. Inborn or inherited or 2 neuron reflex– Pupillary eye reflex to light, heart rate– Patellar knee reflex, respiration– 2 neuron reflex - sensory synapses directly with motor
output, monosynaptic– No interneuron - no involvement of brain– No conscious control over response
• 5. Learned or conditioned or polysynaptic or 3 neuron reflex
– Finger on hot stove– 3 neurons - sensory, interneuron, motor, multisynaptic– Interneuron involves the brain which adds a conscious
control over the motor response– Can you leave your finger on a hot stove for 30
seconds?

F. Medulla 4. Reticular formation (continued)
– Ability to facilitate or inhibit incoming sensory and outgoing motor activities
• Aids in ignoring certain stimuli as brain processes other inputs
– Responsible for normal arousal of the higher centers of brain
– Patient in coma
– Muscle jerk as one falls asleep
• Response???
• G. EEG or Brain Waves
– External detection of depolarizations and hyperpolarizations over brain
– Alpha = quiet rest Beta = active
– Theta = stress Delta = sleep

• H. Cranial Nerves– 1. 12 pairs exiting/entering from the brainstem– 2. Olfactory (#1) - sensory– 3. Optic (#2) - sensory to optic chiasm– 4. Trigeminal (#5) - mixed - chewing and facial
sensations– 5. Vagus (#10) - mixed from.to all over body
including cardiac, visceral and skeletal
• I. Neural Disorders– 1. Polio - viral degeneration of ventral horn motor cell
bodies of spinal cord– 2. Cerebral palsy - voluntary muscles are poorly
controlled due to brain damage during fetal development or birth (oxygen deprivation)

• I. Disorders (continued)– 3. Parkinson’s Disease - degeneration of
dopamine producing cells of the substantia nigra, which target Basal Ganglia cells of the inner cerebrum
• Tremors• Slow in initiating and executing voluntary motion• L-dopa compounds, fetal tissue, genetically
engineered adult cells
– 4. Multiple Sclerosis - autoimmune loss of myelin from motor and sensory neurons causes short-circuiting of signals
• Since axon healthy, variable remissions occur
![Page 113: 6.a&p i nervous system2010](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554c8d69b4c905203f8b58eb/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)

• 5. Alzheimer’s Disease - progressive degeneration of the brain resulting in dementia (genetic factors)
– Ach problems
– Structural changes in cerebrum and hippocampus
– Protein bound to beta amyloid protein plus neurofibrillar tangles in cell body
• 6. Stroke or CVA - blockage of blood circulation to brain and brain tissue dies
– Caused by clot, compression by hemorrhaging or edema
– Atherosclerosis - narrowing of blood vessel by deposits

VI. Autonomic Nervous System• 1. Peripheral Nervous system
– Somatic NS - – Autonomic NS - involuntary motor system that
connects to cardiac and smooth muscles and glands
• 2. Two divisions of the ANS– Parasympathetic NS– Sympathetic NS
• 3. Dual Innervations - both parasympathetic and sympathetic systems connect to the same effectors– Heart Intestine Salivary glands etc.– Why have two systems to same organs?

Heart
(cardiac muscle)
Inhibits Heart Rate & Strength of beat
Increases HR & Strength of beat
Smooth Muscle of Digestive System
Stimulates Peristalsis - smooth rhythmic contraction of gut
Inhibits Peristalsis
Organ Parasympathetic Sympathetic

• 5. Properties of Parasympathetic NS– a) 80% of all parasympathetic activity from brain is
associated with the Vagus Nerve (10th cranial nerve), all parasympathetic nerves originate from the top or bottom of the spinal cord
– b) main neurotransmitter released is Acetylcholine
– c) main functions: conserve or restore energy levels in the body
• Appetite related
• Digestion
• excretion

• 6. Properties of Sympathetic NS– a) no one single nerve, but nerves originate from the
middle of the spinal cord– b) main neurotransmitter released is Norepinephrine
plus these nerves also release hormones of the adrenal gland to prolong the actions of the sympathetics
– c) main function: utilize energy• Fight or Flight Syndrome• Stress Related - opposite of homeostasis
– d) too much stress causes imbalance between these two systems resulting in changes in blood pressure, ulcers, heart arrhythmias, etc.
– e) reduce stress in your life - don’t let Biology get to you!
