-nerve cells,
-possess electrical excitability- the ability to respond to a stimulus & convert it into action potential
neurons
parts of a neuron
1- cell body (soma)
2- dendrites
3- axon
sensory input are from
somatic senses & special senses going to the CNS
from the CNS, motor output or response is carried out by
-somatic nervous system
-autonomic nervous system
autonomic nervous system is composed of
1- sympathetic
2- parasympathetic
3- enteric
sympathetic nervous system is composed of
-skeletal muscles
-voluntary
-can be controlled
parasympathetic nervous system is composed of
-smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands
-involuntary movement
enteric nervous system is composed of
-smooth muscle & glands of the GIT
-enteric = GI
nervous system is composed of
CNS & peripheral nervous system
-brain + spinal cord
-integrative function (integration)
-source of thoughts, emotions, & memories
CNS
-all nervous tissues outside the CNS
-has nerves- bundles of axons
*12 pairs of cranial nerves from the brain
*31 pairs of spinal nerves from the spinal cord
-2 divisions
*sensory (afferent) division
*motor (efferent) division
PNS
-conveys input from sensory receptors to CNS
-2 divisions
*somatic senses (touch, temp & pain sensation)
*special senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, sense of equilibrium- balance)
sensory Afferent division
-conveys output from the CNS to effectors (muscle & glands)
-2 divisions:
1-somatic
2-autonomic
motor Efferent division
-conveys output from the CNS to skeletal muscles
-voluntary
somatic nervous system
conveys output from the CNS to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, & glands
-involuntary
Autonomic nervous system
sympathetic
parasympathetic
enteric
autonomic nervous system
fight or flight response
sympathetic nervous system
rest & digest activities
parasympathetic nervous system
-regulate the activity of the smooth muscle & glands of the G tract
-has innervation both from the sympathetic & parasympathetic nervous system
enteric nervous system
sensory input comes from somatic senses & special senses
somatic nervous system
sensory input comes mainly from interoceptors; some from somatic & special senses
ANS
control of motor out is voluntary from cerebral cortex, with contributions from basal ganglia, cerebellum, brainstem & spinal cord
Somatic nervous system
control f motor output is involuntary from hypothalamus, limbic system, branstem, & spinal cord, limited control from cerebral cortex
ANS
-skeletal muscle
-controls all conscious & unconscious movements of the skeletal
-skeletal muscle contracts
-1 neuron extends from the CNS to the skeletal muscle
-neuron cell bodies are in motor nuclei of the cranial nerves & in the ventral horn of the spinal cord
-1 synapse b/w the somatic motor neuron & the skeletal muscle
-myelinated
-acetylcholine
-receptor molecules for ACh are nicotinic
Somatic NS
