Presentation Transcript

  1. Neuron (Nerve Cell) • Cell Body • Cytoplasm • Nucleus • Axon • Carry messages away from the cell body to other neurons • Dendrites • Carry messages to the cell body

  2. Types of Neurons Receptor Cells Receives information from a stimulus • For example - your finger gets hit by a hammer • Sensory Neurons • Carry the impulse to the spinal cord • Travels the length of the arm to the spinal cord • Interneurons • Impulse is transmitted to the brain and the motor neurons via synapses • Travels to the brain to register pain and out to the finger • Motor neurons • Sends the processed information back to finger • Carries impulse to the effector cells in the fingers, hand and arm

  3. Nerve Impulses • 120 meters per second = speed at which impulses travel in the body. • Synapse – gap between two neurons (axon and dendrite) • Impulse travels from one neuron to the next by sending chemicals across a gap to activate the next neuron.

  4. Reflex Arc • Hand touches open flame or hot burner • Impulse travels to spinal cord • Impulse sent to brain and back to hand. • Hand pulls back before pain is registered by brain 3. 2. 1. 4.

  5. Nervous System • Two major divisions • Central Nervous System (CNS) • brain and spinal cord 2. Peripheral Nervous System • motor and sensory neurons

  6. Central Nervous System

  7. Development of the brainConception - newborn

  8. Sagittal Section of Brain cerebrum Corpus callosum cerebellum Medulla oblongata pons

  9. Olfactory Lobes Frontal lobe of the cerebrum Medulla oblongata cerebellum Inferior view of Brain

  10. Regions of the Brain • Cerebrum - thought and reasoning • Frontal - thinking, talking, remembering, moving • Parietal - touching • Occipital - seeing • Temporal – tasting, smelling, hearing • Cerebellum – coordination of muscular movements • Medulla Oblongata – involuntary responses • Pons – band of nerves linking the medulla and the cerebellum • Olfactory – sense of smell

  11. Spinal Cord

  12. Peripheral Nervous System • Consist of the neurons (receptor and motor) which lead to and from the central nervous system • Two divisions • Sensory Somatic • Autonomic
