Biology Specialized Cells
Content Standard 6.1 Specialized cells enable organisms to monitor what is going on in the world around them.
stable internal conditions
stable internal conditions Several body systems adjust to maintain these stable conditions.
Homeostasis Begins in Body Cells
osmosis Movement of water through the cell membrane.
What is osmosis
In an isotonic solution, water concentration is the same inside and outside the cell. This is the ideal condition for living cells.
In a hypotonic solution, water concentration is greater outside the cell than inside the cell. Water will move into the cell.
In a hypertonic solution, water concentration is greater inside the cell than outside the cell. Water will move out of the cell.
The shrinking of a cell as water moves out by osmosis. PLASMOLYSIS
vacuoles contain water PLASMOLYSIS Normal plant cell
Water beginning to move out of cell. PLASMOLYSIS vacuoles begin to shrink and cell membrane begins to pull away from the cell wall
Most of the water has moved out of the cell. PLASMOLYSIS empty space cell membrane
Normal cells PLASMOLYSIS Plasmolized cells
The Nervous System
The Central Nervous System, CNS
The Peripheral Nervous System, PNS
Central Nervous System, CNS 1 - cerebrum 2 - brainstem 3 - cerebellum 4 - spinal cord Brain
Peripheral Nervous System, PNS Nerves that connect the CNS to the rest of the body.
B1 - Somatic Nervous System Controls voluntary movement of the skeletal muscles.
B2 - Autonomic Nervous System Controls involuntary actions of the body.
Neurons Nerve Cells There are more than 10 Billion nerve cells in the human body.
The Three Parts of a Neuron
Cell body structures are the same as regular cells. Cell Body
Carry signals toward the cell body. Dendrites
Carries signals away from the cell body. Axon
Most neurons have several dendrites... but only one axon.
The gap between two nerve cells
This gap is bridged by chemicals called neurotransmitters.
There are 6 basic steps by which an impulse travels along a nerve
Resting state - the neuron is not conducting impulse.
Depolarization - The neuron is stimulated. Sodium ions, Na+, move into the cell.
Repolarization - Potassium ions, K+, move out of the cell to balance the charge.
4.Travel - A wave of charge changes moves across the cell.
Transmission- Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers that bridge the synapse.
Refractory period - The time it takes a neuron to return to its resting potential after being stimulated.
The refractory period for humans is 4/1000 of a second.
Do these steps suggest a way pain relievers might work?
1/2 meter/sec 120 meters/sec Neurons come in different sizes
1/2 meter/sec 120 meters/sec The larger the neuron, the faster the impulse travels
