LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of the learning session, students will able to: Describe the histological characteristic and
the functions of neurons and neuroglia. Distinguish between gray matter and white
matter.

Introduction
Nervous tissue consist of two types of cells:
4
DNUR 3012
neurons
5
DNUR 3012
NERVE CELLS (NEURON)
Specific cells that transport electrical nerve impulse.
Transport impulse from one part to others part of body.
Property: Electrical excitability (ability to produce action
potential and impulse in response stimuli). Once they arise, action potentials propagate from
one point to the next along the plasma membrane due to the presence of specific types of ion channels.

Nerve Cells Nerve fiber is a general term for any
neuronal process (dendrite or axon) The site of communication between two
neurons or between a neuron and an effectors cell is called a synapse.
(Neuron synapse neuron) Impulses transmit into neuron at synapse
through dendrite process and carry incoming impulse towards cell bodies. Then transfer away from cell body by axon.
8
DNUR 3012
CELL BODY
Contains: Nucleus
Surrounded by cytoplasm that includes typical organelles such as:
lysosomes, mitochondria and a Golgi complex
Nissl bodies (prominent cluster of rough endoplasmic reticulum) :
sites of protein synthesis in neurons that was used to replace cellular components, as a material for growth of neurons and to regenerate damaged axons in the PNS.

Cell body
Characteristics: Different sizes with others Protoplasma have granules Neurons cells cannot divide like others cell
body Form grey matter in brain and spinal cord Cells have one or more fibers (axons and
dendrite) will form white matter nervous system’s organs .
10
DNUR 3012
DENDRITE
Dendrite’s shorter processes terminating mostly near the nerve cell body. They touch the others neuron at synapse.
Are conductive in nature : receive and carry incoming impulses towards cell
bodies. Have same structures like axons, but are
usually shorter and branching. In motor neuron, they forms part of synapses. In sensory neuron, they form the sensory
receptors that respond to specific stimuli.

AXON
Each neuron has one axon. Axon may have branches along their
length known as axon collaterals. Axon collaterals is divide into many
fine processes known as axon terminals.
Axon terminals: Longer than dendrites , sometimes about
1 metre.
13
DNUR 3012
14
DNUR 3012
AXON
Has a long central core of cytoplasma called axosplasma .
The cytoplasma is surrounded by plasma membrane axolemma.
Together axoplasma with axolemma is called as axis cylinder of the nerve fiber.
Axon: the conducting region of the neuron. It generates nerve impulses and transmit
them (typically away from the cell body.)
15
DNUR 3012
AXON
Insulated by myelin sheath It gives white colour to the nerve fiber.
Has a series of Schwann cell plasma membrane and also known as neurolemma.
There are tiny areas of exposed axolemma between adjacent Schwann cells, called nodes of Ranvier.
Nodes of Ranvier: Assist in rapid transmission of nerve impulse. (the speed of transmission of nerve impulse slower
in non-myelinated fibers.)
16

Functions of Myelin Sheath17
DNUR 3012
Neurolemma
A series of Schwann cell plasma membrane - Thin membrane surrounding the myelin
sheath that found only around axons in the Peripheral Nervous Sytem.
When the axon is injured, neurolemma assists regenerations.
It forms a regeneration tube that guides and stimulates growth of the axon.

Nerve Impulse
The electrical activity in the membrane of a neuron.
Ways by which information is transmitted within the nervous system along the axons of the neurons.
27
DNUR 3012
Types of neuron 28
DNUR 3012
Types of neuron: Sensory or Afferent Nerves Nerve that transmit impulse from peripheral
body through spinal cord to the brain to be interprets.
Example: from skin. When action potentials are generated by
sensory receptors on the dendrites of these neurons, they are transmitted to the spinal cord by the sensory nerve fibers.
The impulse may then pass to the brain or to connector neurons of reflex arcs in the spinal cord.
Sensory receptors action potentials dendrites sensory nerve fibers spinal cord brain / connector neuron of spinal cord.
29
DNUR 3012
Types of neuron: Sensory or Afferent Nerves Sensory nerves from peripheral nerve
are non-myelinated and not have neurolemma. From small division called as sensory nerve ending.
Stimulation; pain, hot temperature impulse transmit to sensory nerve brain
30

31
DNUR 3012
Types of neuron: Motor or Efferent Nerves Nerve that send impulse from brain to
spinal cord. Then it goes to skeletal muscle to contract.
Brain spinal cord skeletal muscle (contract).
The nearer motor nerve to muscle, it lost its myelin sheath and neurolemma.
The nerve branches into filament and ends at Motor End Plate.
32
DNUR 3012
NEUROGLIA
It is about half the volume of the Central Nervous System (50%).
It held nervous tissue together.
