Anatomy of:
CNS

CNS = brain+spinal chord, transmit motor commands, sensory data
PNS = tissue outside CNS, deliver sensory info to CNS, motor commands to peripheral tissue
homeostasis:
stimulus journey
stimulus
receptor
control centre
effector
response
what are the 3 types of receptors?
special sensory = senses
visceral sensory = internal organs
somatic sensory = skeletal muscle, joints, skin surface
what division does:
- sensory info
- motor commands
go to?
sensory = AFFERENT
motor = EFFERENT
what’s the difference between somatic and autonomic nervous system
What are the 2 divisions autonomic system includes
Somatic, have to think about your next action
Autonomic, body responds automatically via PARASYMPATHETIC (rest and digest) / SYMPATHETIC (fight or flight)
what are the 4 structures of neurones?
where are they found?
anaxonic = brain. small, not common
bipolar = special sense organs
unipolar = cell body lies to one side, sensory neurones of pns
multi polar = cns, control skeletal muscle, 2 or more dendrites, single axon
Spinal chord
What neurones are myelinated, grey or white matter?
Grey matter = unmyelinated neurones
White matter = myelinated afferent neurones, rapid signal delivery
how many segments are there in the spinal chord?
31
what does each segment of the spinal chord contain?
and what do these do in the segment?
pair of dorsal root ganglia = sensory info to spinal chord through sensory neurones and cell bodies
pair of ventral roots = axons and motor neurones
where do dorsal roots and ventral roots bind?
in a single spinal nerve
what is a dermatome?
specific section of skin controlled by spinal nerves
describe the process of a reflex arc?
1)STIMULUS, activates receptor
2)SENSORY NEURONE activated through dorsal root
3) info processed by CNS
4)MOTOR NEURONE activated through ventral root
5)RESPONSE, by peripheral effector
What is a Golgi tendon organ?
- muscle contracts, senses tension in tendon
- has inhibitive afferent neuron
- too much tension, GTO releases to protect
BRAIN: CEREBRUM
what are the 4 areas and what are they responsible for?
FRONTAL LOBE - somatic motor association area
TEMPORAL LOBE - auditory association area
OCCIPITAL LOBE - visual association area
PARIETAL LOBE - somatic sensory association area
BRAIN
Physical protection?
hint: 3
- cranium bones
- cranial meninges, 3 layers
- cerebrospinal fluid, surrounds all exposed areas of cos
BRAIN
Biochemical isolation?
blood brain barrier, CNS isolated from general circulation

What are the 3 layers on the cranial meninges?
1.dura matter
2. arachnoid matter
3. pia matter
what is a cell membranes resting potential?
-70mV
What are the 4 types of channels in a cell membrane called?
- Leak channels (always open)
- Gated channels (open depending on circumstances)
- Voltage-gated
- Mechanically-gated (respond to pressure e.g: pressing on skin)
Describe:
Depolarization
Repolarization
Hyperpolarization
Depolar = more Na+ into cell so more +, closer to 0mV
Repolar = Na+ back out of cell, back to resting potential
Hyper = K+ channels open, more + leaves, so even lower than -70mV
Describe the chemical gradient on a cell membrane?
What element moves quickest?
What is attracted where?
Higher conc of K+ inside, and higher Na+ outside
K+ moves out faster than Na+ in
Outside + repels K+
Inside - attracts Na+
K+ still move so net loss of +
What is a graded/local potential?
- small stimuli exposes membrane to chemical
- Na+ channel opens = Depolarisation
- depolarisation causes local potential
- stimuli removed = repolarisation
Not always big enough to cause full action potential
What is continuous propagation?
Mexican wave behaviour
Membrane depolarised to +30mV by AP, Na+ then move away to second segment
Causes new AP there
First segment = refractory period
How is an action potential created?
- depolarisation of membrane to threshold -60mV
- Na+ gates open, Na+ in until +30mV
- Na+ gates close, K+ gates open
- brief hyperpolarisation then resting potential
What is saltatory propagation?
when AP jumps from node to node along myelinated axon
Differences between:
Graded Potential and Action Potential?
1GP: no threshold
1AP: must reach threshold
2GP: amount hyper/depolar depends on stimulus
2AP: all or none
3GP: hyperpolaristing or depolarising
3AP: always depolarising
4GP: no refractory period
4AP: refractory period
5GP: most effect on membrane potential occurs closest to stimulation site
5AP: same strength of propagation across whole membrane
What are the 2 types of neurotransmitters?
Excitatory =
- depolarisation postsynaptic membrane, encourages AP
Inhibitory =
- hyper polarisation of postsynaptic membrane, suppress AP
Describe how acetylcholine is realised from a cholinergic synapse?
- AP depolarises pre synaptic terminal
- Ca2+ enters, Act released by exocytosis in synaptic vesicles
- Ach diffuses, binds to postsynaptic receptors
- Na+ channels open = graded depolarisation
- depolarisation stops as Act broken down
