Nervous System Part 2 Neurons
1. Parts of the Nervous System • Central Nervous System- brain and spinal cord • Anatomy of the brain • Cerebrum-voluntary activity, movement, learning, judgment • Cerebellum- balance, coordination • Brain stem- (medulla oblongata) blood pressure, heart rate, breathing
Function of neurons • Neurons are part of the peripheral nervous system. • They carry impulses (signals, messages) through the nervous system
2. Types of neurons • Sensory neurons (body to brain) • Interneurons (within brain & spinal cord) • Motor neurons (brain to body)
3. Anatomy of a neuron Direction of Signal
4. Neuron Structure • Dendrites- receive impulse and send it to cell body • Cell body- contains nucleus, ribosomes, etc. • Axon- carries impulse away from cell body to next neuron, muscle, or organ. 1. Myelin- fatty coating insulates axon
5. Connections between neurons • Axons and dendrites do not touch • Synapse/synaptic cleft- space between • Neurotransmitters- chemicals that go from axon to dendrite across synapse.

6. Neuron at rest • Inside is negative, outside is positive. • Na+/K+ pump moves ions across the membrane: K+ in, Na+ out • It is “polarized.” + + + + + + + + + + - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - -
7. Relaying a signal within a neuron- nerve impulse • Neuron at rest • When impulse is received, Na+ channels open. • Na+ flows into cell making it more positive inside and negative outside (depolarized).
This passes like a wave through the cell. • Na+ channels close, K+ open, repolarize the cell. • The cell returns to resting state.
Homework: • Draw the following in your notes: Fig 35-6 (p. 898) and Fig 35-7 (p. 899)
