Neurophysiology +Head and Neck Flashcards
PNS
Connect CNS with body
Effectors
Muscle ,glands
Integrative function of brain
Channelise and processing of sensory information to carry desired response of nervous sustem
Where are sensory info stored for future use
Cerebral cortex
Synapse
Communicating pathway between 2 neurons
Function of synpase
Storage of info,facilitatiion,determine direction of impulse
Facilitation reaction
Passage of impulse become easier if same impulse travels through he synapse again and again
Major levels of Ns
*Spinal cord(walking,reflexes)
*lower brain(subconscious activity)
*higher brain(conscious activity)
Synapse tyoes
Electrical,Chemical
Difference between the 2 synapses
Most are chemical synapses in body,ion channel/neurotransmitter,smooth muscle/CNS,bi /unidirectional,
Vesicles formed in
Preshnlatic terminal
Neurotransmitter getting energy from
Mitochondria (also provide acetyl group)
Receptor type differnce
Ionotropic /metabotropic,ion channel gating/2nd messenger system,immediate changes/prolonged changes
Function of g protein
Act as 2nd messenger,causes ‘ effluent,gene transcription,enzyme activate
Neurotransmitter
Chemical substance that releases from presynpatic termical to carry information to post synaptic terminal thereby sending impulse forward when an ap comes
Which small neurotransmitter does not store in vehicle etc
NO perform metabolic function causes neuronal excitation faster does not disturb Membran potential
Neurotransmitter tyoes and difference
Smaller/large, fast acting/slow acting,more quantity/less,less potent/more,cytoplasm synthesis/ribosome synthesis,excitatory or inhibit/(Incrase or decrease receptor no,gene activation or deactivate,prolonged opening of ion channels,metabolic function),glutamate dopamine etc/Hypothalamus releasing hoemones
Which hormones excitatory and inhibitory
ACH,Norepinephrine
RMP of Nervous system and PNS
-65/-90
Nernst potential
It opposes and stops diffusion of sodium ion into neurom
RMP Mantained by
NA K pump
Soma imp
No resistance electrical conductivity high ap generate here at initial axon terminal has pumps no pumps in soma
What influx causes neurotransmitter to release due to ap
Calcium
Presynaptoc inhibition
Anion influx instead of Calcium
