Presentation Transcript

  1. Nervous System Cells • Neurons = functional cellular unit of nervous system; action potentials • Neuroglial cells = support, nourish, or protect neurons Oligodendroglial & Schwanncells = insulate neurons with myelin (Gnathostomes) Astrocytes = transport nutrients (& signal neurons at synapse); CNS only Microglia = engulf bacteria; CNS only Ependymal cells = cilliated cells that line central canal & ventricles; CNS only

  2. Neural Tissue

  3. Motor Neuron cell body node of Ranvier axon myelin under a Schwann cell axon hillock synaptic terminal dendrite

  4. Neuron Function • Signal propagates down an axon as ion channels open along the axon (changing voltage) – electrical signal • At the end of the axon vessicles containing neurotransmitter release– chemical signal

  5. Schwann Cells & Oligodendroglia

  6. Subphylum Vertebrata Actinopterygii Chondrichthys coelacanths amphibians lungfishes Mammalia hagfishes lampreys Reptilia myelin (Schwann cells & oligodendrocytes) brain

  7. Nervous System Development • Three ectodermal sources. • Neural tube – becomes C.N.S., optic “nerve,” retina, and pre-ganglionicmotor nerves. CNS derived only from neural tube. • Neural crest – becomes post-ganglionic nerves and peripheral glia. • Neurogenic placodes – become post-ganglionic cranial nerve (V, VII, IX, X) AND olfactory, vestibular, and lateralis sensory receptor cells.

  14. Brain Development • Neurons migrate from the ependymal layer more superficially; 1st migrate least. • The anterior neural tube forms: -Prosencephalon (Forebrain) -Mesencephalon (Midbrain) -Rhombencephalon (Hindbrain) rhombomeres = segmental divisions

  15. Brain Developmental Regions • Prosencephalon = FOREBRAIN Telencephalon cerebrum & olfactory lobes Diencephalon thalamus, hypothalamus • Mesencephalon = MIDBRAIN  optic lobes / superior colliculi & tegmentum • Rhombencephalon = HINDBRAIN Metencephalon cerebellum & pons Myelencephalon medulla oblongata

  18. Nervous System Overview • Central Nervous System (CNS)= brain and spinal cord; myelin from oligodendroglia (astrocytes in synapse) Tract= region of axons; Nucleus or Cortex = region of cell bodies • Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)= nerves and ganglia; myelin from Schwann cells (also can cover synapse) Nerve = bundle of axons Ganglion = bundle of cell bodies

  19. PNS Overview • Cranial Nerves = attached to brain; many have ganglia; numbered with Roman numerals from anterior to posterior • Spinal Nerves = attached to spinal cord; most have ganglia; distinctly segmental dorsal root ventral root

  20. Peripheral Nervous System • Sensory (Afferent) = brings info. to CNS • Motor (Efferent) = takes info. from CNS • Visceral = innervates smooth muscle or organs in the coelom • Somatic = innervates skel. muscle and skin • Pre-ganglionic = cell bodies in the CNS; between CNS & a ganglion • Post-ganglionic Nerves = cell bodies in a ganglion; between a ganglion & another ganglion or a non-neural tissue

  21. Nervous System Overview

  22. Spinal nerves • Spinal Nerves = segmental from spinal cord • Dorsal Root = afferent (sensory) nerve • Dorsal Root Ganglion = afferent (sensory) neuron cell bodies • Ventral Root = efferent (motor) nerve • Sypathetic chain = chain of ganglia ventral to spinal cord

  23. Human Spinal Nerves • Cervical Plexus(C1-C5) also innervates diaphragm (Phrenic nerves) • Brachial Plexus (C5-T1) innervates arm • Intercostal / Thoracic Nerves (T2-T12) • Lumbar Plexus (T12-L5) • Sacral Plexus (L5-Co2) also innervates legs (Sciatic nerves)

  29. Cranial Nerves • 10-13 nerves arising from the brain; numbered anterior to posterior. • 0 - nervus terminalis sensory for blood vessels of olfactory epithelium • I - olfactory “nerve” (ethmoid foramina) sensory fibers that innervate the olfactory epithelium • II - optic nerve (optic canal) sensory “nerve;”innervates retina not a true nerve; an extension of brain

  30. Cranial Nerves • III - oculomotor nerve (superior orbital fiss.) motor nerve for 4 of the 6 extrinsic eye muscles • IV - trochlear nerve (superior orbital fissure) motor nerve for 1 of the 6 extrinsic eye muscles • V - trigeminal nerve (3 branches)(foramina ovale and spinosum & superior orbital fissure) sensory for skin of head; motor for 1st arch muscles (mandibular branch) Trigeminal/Gasserion Ganglion • VI - abducens nerve (superior orbital fissure) motor nerve for 1 of the 6 extrinsic eye muscles

  31. Cranial Nerves • VII - facial nerve (3 branches)(stylomastoid foramen) - Facial/Geniculate Ganglion sensory for taste buds and head lateralis system; motor for 2nd arch muscles (hyomandibular branch) • VIII - auditory nerve (Vestibulocochlear) sensory for inner ear/vestibule (internal aud. meatus) • IX - glossopharyngeal nerve (jugular for.) sensory for taste and pharynx; motor for 3rd arch muscles (1st branchial arch branch) – Superior & Inferior Glossopharyngeal Ganglia • IX - vagus nerve (jugular foramen) sensory and motor for mouth, pharynx, outer ear, and most viscera – Superior & Inferior Vagus Ganglia

  32. Posterior-Most Cranial Nerves • XI - spinal accessory nerve (amniotes only) (foramen magnum) sensory & motor for branchiomeric muscles (e.g., trapezius, sternomastoid) = branch of vagus in non-amniotes • XII - hypoglossal nerve (amniotes only) (hypoglossal canal) motor & sensory for tongue muscles = occipital nerves in non-amniotes

  38. CNS • Spinal Cord = CNS dorsal to notochord and posterior to head • Central canal = canal within spinal cord • Brain = enlarged anterior CNS • Ventricles = cavities in brain • Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) = fills ventricles & central canal • Choroid plexus = tuft of capillaries that secrete CSF

  39. Meninges • Meninges = layers of connective tissue surrounding CNS Non-tetrapods = 1 (primitive meninx) Non-mammal tetrapods = 2 (dura matter + secondary meninx) Mammals = 3 • Dura matter = outermost • Arachnoid = middle • Pia matter = innermost

  40. CNS • Gray matter = many cell bodies; >integration • White matter = few cell bodies; many axons with myelin(in Gnathostomes); >transport • Gray matter ancestrally deep; white matter superficial, EXCEPTsuperficial in forebrain in amniotes, teleosts, hagfishes, and a few chondrichthyans

  46. Telencephalon • Olfactory lobes • Cerebrum, large in mammals & birds, lateral ventricles. • In mammals, dorsal pallium forms the 6 layered neocortex. • gyri = folds of neocortex • sulci = grooves of neocortex • Actinopterygiians = gray matter everts; single medial ventricle • All other vertebrates = gray matter inverts; 2 lateral ventricles

  47. Diencephalon • Thalamus, Hypothalamus, & Median Ventricle (3rd). • Optic nerves cross and enter brain at optic chiasma (neurons pass through the diencephalon, synapse in the mesencephalon). • Dorsal epiphysis (pineal & parietal organ) & Ventral hypophysis (pituitary).
