What 2 types of cells is nervous tissue composed of?
Neurons & glial cells
Neurons
- Cells that send and receive electrical signals
- Irritable
- Responsive
What are the two divisions of the nervous system?
Central nervous system & peropheral nervous system
What is the central nervous system made up of?
Brain & spinal cord
What is the peripheral nervous system made up of?
Sensory & motor
Afferent-sensory
Carries information from receptors to brain or spinal cord
Efferent motors
Carries info from brain or spinal cord to muscles or glands
What are receptors?
-Neurons and specialized cells that detect changes
- May be in specialized structures such as the tongue, eye, ear
What are the functional divisions of the PNS?
Somatic & autonomic
Somatic
- Controls skeletal muscle contractions
- Voluntary and reflexive
Autonomic
Controls subconscious actions of cardiac and smooth muscles
What are the two autonomic nervous system?
Sympathetic & parasympathetic
Sympathetic
Stimulative
Parasympathetic
Relaxing
Neurons-structure
- Soma
- Dendrites
- Axons
What are the major organelles of neuron?
- Neurolemma
- Nucleus
- Mitochondria
- Smoot and rough ER
- Ribosomes
- Perikaryon - cytoplasm
- Cytoskeleton
Nissl bodies
- Dense areas of RER and ribosomes
Dendrites
Receive information
Axons
- Carry the action potential away from the neuron body
What are the 3 synapse?
- Pre-synaptic cell
- Post-synaptic cell
- Synaptic cleft
Synapse
- Contains synaptic vesicles of neurontransmitters
Neurotransmitters
- are chemical messengers
What are the 4 types of neurons?
- Anaxonic neuron
- Bipolar neuron
- Unipolar neuron
- Multipolar neuron
