Chapter 6 Flashcards
2 types of nervous system
- Central nervous system ( CNS)
- Peripheral Nervous System ( PNS)
Central nervous system
- Brain
- Spinal Cord
Cranial nerves
Peripheral Nervous System
- afferent division
- efferent division
Afferent division of PNS(sensory (input)
- Somatic Sensory ( senses)
- Visceral sensory (Organs)
- Special sensory ( vision, hearing, taste, in your head)
Efferent division of PNS ( Output/motor)
- somatic motor: alpha motor neuron
- Autonomic Motor: vital organs (heart, lungs) , digestive system
Sympathetic: fight or flight
Parasympathetic : rest /relax
Enteric ( digestive system)
Actions response to input
Cells of nervous system
Neurons : information transfer
conduct electrochemical impulses
respond to stimuli
Neuroglial cells: Both CNS/PNS
supportive functions
Neuron parts
Cell body
Dendrites
Axon hillock ( trigger zone)
Axon collaterals
axon terminal
3 different classification of Neurons
- Multipolar (trigger zone between cell body and axon terminal
- Bipolar ( special case , dendrites, common branch, cell body, then trigger zone
- Unipolar : somato sensory: dendrites trigger zone then axon the cell body then axon terminal .
Neuron
Single nerve cell
Nerve
Group of axons plus connective tissue wrapping and blood vessels
3 layers of connective tissue of nerve
Epineurium
Perineurium
Endoneurium
Different types of Neuroglial cells
- Astrocytes
- microglia
- Ependymal Cells
- Oligodendrocytes
5.Schwann cells
6.Satellite cells
Astrocytes
Important role in development
signal neuron where to go
structural support
Microglia
Part of immune system
clean up cellular debrief
infection/injury in nervous system
ependymal cells
Help produce ceribral spinal fluid
Origodendrocytes
Provide myelin wrapping
insulation of axon
improve conduction
Schwann Cells
Prevent leakage of signal
role of myelin
Lightly cup unmyelinated axon
Satellite cells
?
Myelin
formed by neuroglial cells ( oligodendrocytes ( CNS)
Schwann cells (PNS)
Made of lipid and protein
provide electrical insulation
Node of Ranvier
The empty spaces between Myelin sheath
