  2. The nervous system is the body's control center and communicates network. It serves three broad functions: • 1. senses changes in the environment • 2. integrates and interprets • 3. responds

  3. 1. central nervous system a. brain b. spinal cord 2. peripheral nervous system a. somatic division b. autonomic division (1) sympathetic vs (2) parasympathetic Nervous Systems Divisions

  4. Neuroglia • 1. astrocytes • 2. oligodendrocytes • 3. microglia • 4. ependyma • 5. neurolemmocytes (Schwann cells) • 6. satellite cells

  5. Neuron • 1. cell body a. nucleus b. nucleolus c. Nissl substance • 2. dendrite • 3. axon a. axon hillock b. trigger zone c. axon collaterals d. telodendrion e. end bulbs

  6. Myelination • 1. PNS = neurolemmocytes CNS = oligodendrocytes • 2. process • 3. myelin sheath • 4. neurolemma • 5. nodes of Ranvier

  7. Structural Classification of Neurons • 1. multipolar neuron • 2. bipolar neuron • 3. unipolar neuron a. central process b. receptor

  8. Functional Classification of Neurons • 1. sensory (afferent) neurons • 2. association neurons (interneurons) • 3. motor (efferent) neurons

  9. Some Terminology • 1. nerve fiber • 2. nerve vs. tract • 3. tract • 4. ganglion vs. nucleus (center) • 5. gray matter • 6. white matter Gray matter White matter

  10. Neurophysiology Communication by neurons depends upon two basic properties of their cell membranes: • 1. There is an electrical voltage, called the resting membrane potential, across the cell membrane. • 2. Their cell membranes contain a variety of ion channels (pores) that may be open or closed.

  11. Resting Membrane Potential • 1. build-up of ions • 2. separation of charges = potential energy (mV) • 3. membrane potential = -70 mV • 4. polarized membrane +++++ +++++ -------- ---------

  12. Two Main Factors Contribute to the RMP • 1. distribution of ions across the cell membrane. a. extracellular fluid is rich in Na+ and Cl- b. intracellular fluid is rich in K+ and anions such as organophosphates and proteins • 2. relative permeability of the cell membrane to Na+ and K+ a. moderately permeable to K+ and Cl- b. slightly permeable to Na+ c. impermeable to the intracellular anions

  13. Ion Channels(Pores) • 1. non-gated (leakage) • 2. gated (regulated) a. open in response to stimulus (chemical, voltage change, light, mechanical) b. excitable cells have them c. found in trigger zones

  17. An Action Potential

  18. Action Potential-Depolarization • 1. threshold stimulus • 2. voltage-gated Na+ channels open • 3. Na+ influx (-70 ---> +30 mV) _____________________________ • 4. positive feedback

  19. Action Potential-Repolarization • 1. voltage-gated K+ channels open • 2. K+ efflux (-90 <--- +30 mV) • 3. hyperpolarization • 4. Na-K pumps restore ions

  20. Action Potential Summary

  21. Refractory Period • 1. absolute • 2. relative

  22. POSITIVE FEEDBACK OF AN ACTION POTENTIAL CONTROLLED CONDITION A stimulus or stress disrupts membrane homeostasis by causing a threshold depolarization NO RETURN TO HOMEOSTASIS Opening of the voltage-gated Na+ channels causes depolarization in adjacent membrane, opening more voltage-gated Na+ channels RECEPTOR The receptors in this case are voltage-gated Na+ channels in their resting state EFFECTORS Voltage-gated Na+ channels are also effectors. Threshold depolarization causes shape changes in the channel CONTROL CENTER The shape of the voltage-gated Na+ channel depends on membrane voltage change

  23. All of None Principle Each time an action potential is formed, it has a constant and maximum strength for the existing conditions.

  24. Continuous Conduction • 1. trigger zone to synapse • 2. propagation • 3. one direction only

  25. Saltatory Conduction • 1. myelin sheath • 2. nodes of Ranvier • 3. "jumping" impulse • 4. 0.5 vs 130 m/sec • 5. energy conservation

  26. Transmission at Synapses • 1. "synapsis" means connection • 2. synapses integrate and filter information • 3. signals are transmitted or inhibited • 4. presynaptic vs postsynaptic neurons

  27. Chemical Synapses • 1. arrival of action potential • 2. Ca++ influx • 3. synaptic vesicle rupture • 4. NT release • 5. NT diffusion • 6. NT/receptor interaction • 7. postsynaptic potential

  28. Postsynaptic Potentials can be excitatory or inhibitory • 1. excitatory (EPSP) a. facilitation b. summation (1) spatial (2) temporal • 2. inhibitory (IPSP) a. hyperpolarization

  29. Postsynaptic Potentials

  30. Facilitation and Summation • 1. spatial • 2. temporal ___________ • net effects • 1. facilitation • 2. summation (impulses) • 3. inhibition (hyperpolarization)

  32. TYPES OF NEUROTRANSMITTERS Acetylcholine Most common neurotransmitter; In a class by itself chemically; Mostly excitatory, depending on location and function; Brain, spinal cord, neuromuscular and neuroglandular synapses of the periphery Excitatory amino acids Glutamate – 75% of excitatory synapses in brain Asparate – spinal cord Inhibitory amino acids Glycine – most common in spinal cord GABA (gamma amino butyric acid) – most common in brain Monoamines (biogenic amines) Catecholamines – norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine Other amines – serotonin, histamine Neuropeptides – substance P, enkephalines and endorphins, cholecystokinin

  33. Removal of Neurotransmitter from Synaptic Cleft • 1. diffusion • 2. enzymatic degradation • 3. uptake into the cell

  34. Neuronal Circuits • 1. simple series • 2. diverging • 3. converging • 4. reverberating • 5. parallel after-discharge
