LECTURE PRESENTATIONS For CAMPBELL BIOLOGY, NINTH EDITION Jane B. Reece, Lisa A. Urry, Michael L. Cain, Steven A. Wasserman, Peter V. Minorsky, Robert B. Jackson Chapter 49 Nervous Systems Lectures by Erin Barley Kathleen Fitzpatrick © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Overview: Command and Control Center • The human brain contains about 100 billion neurons, organized into circuits more complex than the most powerful supercomputers • A recent advance in brain exploration involves a method for expressing combinations of colored proteins in brain cells, a technique called “brainbow” • This may allow researchers to develop detailed maps of information transfer between regions of the brain © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 49.1 Concept 49.1: Nervous systems consist of circuits of neurons and supporting cells • Each single-celled organism can respond to stimuli in its environment • Animals are multicellular and most groups respond to stimuli using systems of neurons © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. • The simplest animals with nervous systems, the cnidarians, have neurons arranged in nerve nets • A nerve net is a series of interconnected nerve cells • More complex animals have nerves © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. • Nerves are bundles that consist of the axons of multiple nerve cells • Sea stars have a nerve net in each arm connected by radial nerves to a central nerve ring © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 49.2b Eyespot Brain Brain Nerve cords Ventral nerve cord Transverse nerve Segmental ganglia (c) Planarian (flatworm) (d) Leech (annelid) • Annelids and arthropods have segmentally arranged clusters of neurons called ganglia © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 49.2d Brain Brain Ganglia (g) Squid (mollusc) Spinal cord (dorsal nerve cord) Sensory ganglia (h) Salamander (vertebrate) • In vertebrates – The CNS is composed of the brain and spinal cord – The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is composed of nerves and ganglia © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
