The Nervous System
• A network of billions of nerve cells linked together in a highly organized fashion to form the rapid control center of the body.
• Functions include:– Integrating center for homeostasis,
movement, and almost all other body functions.
– The mysterious source of those traits that we think of as setting humans apart from animals

The nervous system also allows you to react to a stimulus.
A stimulus is a change in the environment.
Example: A hot stove
Or… tripping over a rock
![Page 4: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Your reactions are
Automatic means that you do not have to think about your
reactions.Example: If a bug flies by your eye,
you will blink.
![Page 5: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Basic Functions of the Nervous System
1. Sensation• Monitors changes/events occurring in and outside
the body. Such changes are known as stimuli and the cells that monitor them are receptors.
2. Integration• The parallel processing and interpretation of sensory
information to determine the appropriate response
3. Reaction• Motor output.
– The activation of muscles or glands (typically via the release of neurotransmitters (NTs))
![Page 6: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Nervous vs. Endocrine System
• Similarities:– They both monitor stimuli and react so as
to maintain homeostasis.
• Differences:– The NS is a rapid, fast-acting system
whose effects do not always persevere. – The ES acts slower (via blood-borne
chemical signals called H _ _ _ _ _ _ _) and its actions are usually much longer lasting.
![Page 7: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Organization of the Nervous System
2 big initial divisions:1. Peripheral Nervous System
• The nervous system outside of the brain and spinal cord
• Consists of:– 31 Spinal nerves
» Carry info to and from the spinal cord
– 12 Cranial nerves » Carry info to and from the brain
2. Central Nervous System• The brain + the spinal cord
– The center of integration and control
![Page 8: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Peripheral Nervous System
• Responsible for communication btwn the CNS and the rest of the body.
• Can be divided into:– Sensory Division
• Afferent division– Conducts impulses from receptors to the CNS– Informs the CNS of the state of the body interior and
exterior– Sensory nerve fibers can be somatic (from skin,
skeletal muscles or joints) or visceral (from organs w/i the ventral body cavity)
– Motor Division • Efferent division
– Conducts impulses from CNS to effectors (muscles/glands)
– Motor nerve fibers
![Page 9: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Peripheral Nervous System
• 3 kinds of neurons connect CNS to the body– sensory– motor– interneurons
• Motor - CNS to muscles and organs
• Sensory - sensory receptors to CNS
• Interneurons: Connections Within CNS
SpinalCord
Brain
Nerves
![Page 10: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Motor Efferent Division
• Can be divided further:– Somatic nervous system• VOLUNTARY (generally)• Somatic nerve fibers that conduct impulses
from the CNS to skeletal muscles
– Autonomic nervous system• INVOLUNTARY (generally)• Conducts impulses from the CNS to smooth
muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands.
![Page 11: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Autonomic Nervous System• Can be divided into:
– Sympathetic Nervous System• “Fight or Flight”
– Parasympathetic Nervous System• “Rest and Digest”
These 2 systems are antagonistic.Typically, we balance these 2 to keep ourselves in a state of dynamic balance.We’ll go further into the difference between these 2 later!
![Page 13: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Autonomic System
• Control involuntary functions– heartbeat– blood pressure– respiration– perspiration– digestion
• Can be influenced by thought and emotion (Hypothalamus)
![Page 14: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Parasympathetic
• “ Rest and digest” system• Calms body to conserve and
maintain energy• Lowers heartbeat, breathing
rate, blood pressure
![Page 15: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Sympathetic
• “ Fight or flight” response• Release adrenaline and noradrenaline • Increases heart rate and blood pressure• Increases blood flow to skeletal muscles• Inhibits digestive functions
![Page 16: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Nervous Tissue
• Highly cellular– How does this
compare to the other 3 tissue types?
• 2 cell types1. Neurons• Functional, signal
conducting cells
2. Neuroglia• Supporting cells

![Page 18: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Cells of Nervous System
• Neurons or nerve cells– Receive stimuli and
transmit action potentials
– Organization• Cell body or soma• Dendrites: Input• Axons: Output
• Neuroglia or glial cells– Support and protect
neurons
![Page 19: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Neurons• The functional and structural unit of the nervous
system• Specialized to conduct information from one part of the
body to another• There are many, many different types of neurons but
most have certain structural and functional characteristics in common:- Cell body (soma)
- One or more specialized, slender processes (axons/dendrites)
- An input region (dendrites/soma)
- A conducting component (axon)
- A secretory (output) region (axon terminal)
![Page 20: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Neuroglia• Outnumber neurons by about
10 to 1 (the guy on the right had an inordinate amount of them).
• 6 types of supporting cells– 4 are found in the CNS:
1. Astrocytes• Star-shaped, abundant, and
versatile• Guide the migration of
developing neurons• Act as K+ and NT buffers• Involved in the formation of the
blood brain barrier• Function in nutrient transfer
![Page 21: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Neuroglia
2. Oligodendrocytes
• Produce the myelin sheath which provides the electrical insulation for certain neurons in the CNS
![Page 22: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Neuroglia of CNS
3. Ependymal Cells– Line brain ventricles and spinal cord central canal– Help form choroid plexuses that secrete CSF
4. Microglia– Specialized macrophages
![Page 23: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• 2 types of glia in the PNS
1. Satellite cells• Surround clusters of
neuronal cell bodies in the PNS
• Unknown function
2. Schwann cells• Form myelin sheaths
around the larger nerve fibers in the PNS.
• Vital to neuronal regeneration
Neuroglia
![Page 24: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Central Nervous System is made of the brain and the spinal
cord.
The Central Nervous System controls everything in the body.
![Page 25: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
An organ that controls your emotions, your thoughts, and every movement you make.
![Page 26: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Spinal cord •conducts sensory information from the peripheral nervous system (both somatic and autonomic) to the brain •conducts motor information from the brain to our various effectors
•skeletal muscles •cardiac muscle •smooth muscle •glands
•serves as a minor reflex center

White Matter vs. Gray MatterBoth the spinal cord and the brain consist of: white matter = bundles of axons each coated with a sheath of myelin gray matter = masses of the cell bodies and dendrites — each covered with synapses.
In the spinal cord, the white matter is at the surface, the gray matter inside
![Page 28: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The MeningesBoth the spinal cord and brain are covered in three continuous sheets of connective tissue, the meninges. From outside in, these are the -dura mater — pressed against the bony surface of the interior of the vertebrae and the cranium -arachnoid -pia materThe region between the arachnoid and pia mater is filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
![Page 29: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
CSF Flow
• CSF– Produced in the
lateral ventricles
– Absorbed by thearachnoid villi
![Page 30: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Brain Support
• Bone– Face Attachment– Holds CSF and Supports Meninges
• Meninges– Main brain support– Suspends, Compartmentalizes, and Coats
• Cerebrospinal Fluid– In a bony container, allows dissipation of
sudden shocks (forces)

The HindbrainThe main structures of the hindbrain (rhombencephalon) are the medulla oblongata ponscerebellum
![Page 45: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Medulla oblongataNerve impulses arising here rhythmically stimulate the intercostal muscles and diaphragm — making breathing possible. •regulate heartbeat •regulate the diameter of arterioles thus adjusting blood flow.
The neurons controlling breathing have mu (µ) receptors, the receptors to which opiates, like heroin, bind. This accounts for the suppressive effect of opiates on breathing. Destruction of the medulla causes instant death
![Page 46: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Pons•serve as a relay station carrying signals from various parts of the cerebral cortex to the cerebellum. •Nerve impulses coming from the eyes, ears, and touch receptors are sent on the cerebellum. •The pons also participates in the reflexes that regulate breathing.
![Page 47: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Cerebellum
•It represents only 10% of the weight of the brain, it contains as many neurons as all the rest of the brain combined. •Its most clearly-understood function is to coordinate body movements. People with damage to their cerebellum are able to perceive the world as before and to contract their muscles, but their motions are jerky and uncoordinated. •So the cerebellum appears to be a center for learning motor skills.
![Page 48: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
The Forebrain•The human forebrain (prosencephalon) is made up of a pair of large cerebral hemispheres, called the telencephalon. •the left hemisphere of the forebrain deals with the right side of the body and vice versa. •a group of structures located deep within the cerebrum, that make up the diencephalon
![Page 49: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Diencephalon•Thalamus
All sensory input (except for olfaction) passes through these paired structuressignals from the cerebellum pass through them on the way to the motor areas of the cerebral cortex.
•Lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). All signals entering the brain from each optic nerve enter a LGN and undergo some processing before moving on the various visual areas of the cerebral cortex.
![Page 50: 3. the nervous system](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558aa1abd8b42a906a8b45e5/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Hypothalamus. •The seat of the autonomic nervous system. Damage to the hypothalamus is quickly fatal as the normal homeostasis of body temperature, blood chemistry, etc. goes out of control. Posterior lobe of the pituitary. Receives •vasopressin and •oxytocin from the hypothalamus and releases them into the blood.

* The spinal cord sends messages to the brain.
* The spinal cord is the part of the nervous system that connects the brain to the rest of the nervous system.
