Exam2 Flashcards
what is the three box model?
input (PNS)–>analysis/integration (CNS)–>output (PNS)
input
sensory afferent
“to carry forward”
PNS
analysis/integration
brain
spinal cord
CNS
output
motor efferent
“to carry away”
PNS
transduction
the conversion of 1 energy form to another
what are the three types of energy?
electromagnetic radiation–>(light–>vision)
mechanical(movement–>touch,hearing)
chemical (molecule –>taste, smell)
neuron
the functional unit of the nervous system
functional organization of a neuron
input-->dendrites ligand gated channels stretch activated conductile-->axon v-gated Na+ and K+ channels output-->v-gated Ca2+ channels
law of dynamic polarization
the information in the form of action potential will flow in one direction
cell body——->
axoplasmic transport
fast and slow
fast axoplasmic transport
get on an airplane and go directly somewhere vesicular proteins (neurotransmitters), kinesin, microtubules
slow axoplasmic transport
“move now and again”–>hitchhiker analogy
cytoplasmic (cytoskeleton), kinesin, microtubules, katanan
Glial cells in the CNS
astorcytes
oligondendrocytes
astrocytes
pick up ions and neurotransmitter
maintain the extracellular environment condosive to neuron
regulates the extracellular K+ concentration
regulates the neurotransmitter concentration at synapses
the output region releases a neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft
basically bind neurotransmitters at the input site and vacuum them together
oligodendrocytes
-will myelinate many neurons
-insulating fat layer made out of cell membrane of the oligondendrocytes
-sends out a process that allows it to stick to the plasma membrane of the axon but it doesn’t stop, it then continues to send an extension around the cell
-the leading edge insinuated itself under the first layer then breaks the bonds between the two membranes
and then it will go around and around in circles and after a while it will go back around to the oligondendrocytes
-used to send out process to generate an insulating layer
-schwann cells do pretty much the same thing
multiple sclerosis
- reduced mylination disease of the glia cells
- disease of the oligodendrocytes
electrical movement through a membrane
chemical
electrical
chemical
ions –> ion goes down the concentration gradient /diffusion
electrical
negative charged impermeable things
“brake”
the membrane potential seeks…
the equilibrium potential for the ion that is most dominance (most permeable)
where are the K+ leak channels located
on the cell body (important for membrane resistance)
where are the stretch activated channels located
idkkk
where are the ligand gated channels located
on the dendrites
where are the v-gated Na+ channels located
in the nodes
where are the v-gated K+ channels located
in the nodal region
