Basic Tasks of the Nervous System

Sensation: Monitor both external and internal environments.

Integration: Process the information and often integrate it with stored sensory information.

Regulation and Control: If necessary, signal effector organs to make an appropriate response.

Coordination: of both voluntary and involuntary muscle movements

• Brain

WHAT PARTS DO YOU KNOW THAT ARE IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM?

• Spinal Cord

• Peripheral Nerves

Structure of a Vertebrate Neuron

Myelinated Neurons

• Many vertebrate peripheral neurons have an insulating sheath around the axon called myelin which is formed by Schwann cells.

• Myelin sheathing allows these neurons to conduct nerve impulses faster than in non-myelinated neurons.

How are neurons connected?

• Synapses!!

Why are neurons connected?

AXON

The synapse - where the action happens

The next cell’s plasma membrane

What is this in the membrane?

Transport protein

Close up look at your synapse

Page 8: Basic Tasks of the Nervous System Sensation: Monitor both external and internal environments. Integration: Process the information and often integrate.

How does the Synapse carry the signal?

1. Action potential travels down the axon until it reaches the synapse. The action potential will NOT move across the synapse.

2. Vesicles with neurotransmitters move toward the membrane3. Chemicals are released into the synaptic cleft and diffuse

toward the next cell’s plasma membrane4. The chemicals open up the transport proteins and allow the

signal to pass to the next cell

Saltatory Conduction in Myelinated Axons

Myelin sheathing has bare patches of axon called nodes of Ranvier

Action potentials jump from node to node

• Cell body: functional portion

• Dendrites: short extensions that receive signals

• Axon: long extension that transmits impulses away

Nerve Impulse - The Action PotentialThreshold potential will trigger an action potential or nerve impulse

The action potential is an all-or-none response

Types of chemical synapse

• Cholinergic Synapses– Acetylcholine– neuromuscular junctions, glands, brain and spinal cord

• Adrenergic ( EPSP)– Norepinepherine– affects brain regions concerned with emotions,

dreaming• Dopamine ( IPSP)

– Inhibits neurotranmission of the nerve impulses
