week 3- neuronal structure, function and connectivity Flashcards
recap
neuron=basic function NS
to receive, integrate and transmit
structure of neurons- sensory, motor, interneuron
sensory- CNS= response to external
motor-carry messager from CNS
interneuron- messages to other neuron
structure of neuron 1)
cell body
- DNA( nucleus)
- mitochondria ( energy )
- endoplasmic reticulum ( protein synthesis)
2 strcuture= dendrities
branch out cell body and increase surface area
recieve input from other neuron
structure neuron- axon
carries infrom body to axon
afferent axon- sensory
efferent axon- moto
axon classified
how leave soma= multipolar, bipolar, monopolar
conducting zone
axon insulated by glial cells ( myelin sheath)
- CNS
-PHS
PROTECTOR
NODES OF RANVIER- speed
presynaptic terminal
end of branched axon
communicate neurons
when nerve reach axon turminal releases neurotransmitters
neron dual function
within- ELECTRICAL transmission- cell– down AXON—- NERVEterminal
between- CHEMICAL transmission— nerve terminal—- synapse— target cell ( target cell as independent)
