The Nervous System and
Neurons

Is this even possible? Why or why not?

• Network of connected cells, tissue, and organs
• Controls thoughts, movement, life processes
• Quick responses– Ex: Sunny day pupils

CNS and PNS

• AKA: Highly specialized nerve cells– Transfer electrical impulses to/from the brain
• 4 Main Parts1) Cell body: contains nucleus and organelles2) Dendrites: branches that receive messages from neighboring cells3) Axon: extension that carries messages away from the cell body4) Axon Terminal: End of neuron
Neurons
![Page 6: The Nervous System and Neurons Is this even possible? Why or why not?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dba5503460f94aab4db/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Three Types of Neurons:
1) Sensory– Detect stimuli and
transmit signals to/from the brain
– Detect sense (sight, smell, sound, taste, touch)
![Page 7: The Nervous System and Neurons Is this even possible? Why or why not?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dba5503460f94aab4db/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
2) Interneuron– Located in the brain– Receive signals from the sensory neurons
Three Types of Neurons:
![Page 8: The Nervous System and Neurons Is this even possible? Why or why not?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dba5503460f94aab4db/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
3) Motor– Pass messages to other tissue– Ex: Nerve attached to muscle
• Muscle reacts by contracting and stretching

Resting Potential
• Defined: Neuron at rest• Neuron Exterior is positive in
charge – Due to abundance of Na+
outside
• Neuron Interior is negative– Due to abundance of
proteins and…– Some K+ inside the cell

Action Potential• Defined: The electrical
impulse that is triggered & moves quickly down an axon
• Generating the Impulse– Na channels in the
membrane open and allow Na+ to diffuse into the cell
– Area becomes positively charged (impulse)
• After the Impulse– K channels open to allow K+
to exit the cell– Area returns to negative
charge• Process continues down the
axon

Cleaning Up the Mess
• Who?– Na/K pump
• What?– Na is pumped back out of
the cell…– K is pumped back into the
cell• When?
– After the impulse has passed
• Where?– Located in cell membrane
• Why?– To restore the initial charge
inside & outside the cell• How?
– Active transport (REQUIRES ATP)

Synapse• Defined: Gap between
neurons• Problem: Impulse cannot
cross the gap• Solution: Neurotransmitter
proteins are sent from one neuron to another
• Steps:1) Impulse reaches axon
terminal (end)2) Vesicle releases
neurotransmitters, which attach to receptors on neighbor
3) Channels open on dendrite of neighboring cell…new impulse created

1. What is the function of the nervous system?2. List the 4 main parts and describe the purpose of the 4 main parts of
a neuron.3. The nervous system is divided into 2 parts. What are they and what
do they include?4. Describe the internal and external environment of a neuron in resting
potential. How is resting potential reached?5. What is a synapse and why is it a problem for neurons?6. To what part of the nervous system do motor neurons, interneurons,
and sensory neurons belong?7. When an impulse is within a neuron it is electrical. When the signal
moves to the next neuron it is _________________. What is the specific name for this?
8. Describe how an action potential moves down a neuron.
