Regulation
control and coordination of life functions and activities
2 systems involved:
1. nervous- electrical system, brain,spine and nerves
found in multicellular organisms
2. endocrine- chemical system, hormones
found in all organisms
Nervous System:
definitions:
a. stimulus- change in the internal or external environment that
triggers an impulse which ends in a response
b. impulse- “message”; electrochemical charge sent along a nerve
cell (neuron)
c. receptor- structures that detect stimuli
ex) sense organs
d. response- reaction to a stimulus
carried out by the effectors
e. effector-organs of response
include muscles & glands
f. neuron- nerve cell, functional unit of nervous system
a bundle of neurons is a nerve
Parts of a neuron:
1. dendrites- fibers that detect stimuli
generate impulse toward cyton
2. cyton- “cell body”
contains nucleus
3. axon- fibers that send impulse away from cyton to
terminal branches
4. terminal branches- end of axon
contain synaptic knobs that secrete
neurotransmitters
cyton
nucleus
dendrites
node of
axon
Ranvier
terminal
branches
nucleus/Schwann cell
myelin
Schwann cell
(produces
myelin)
Direction of impulse:
synaptic
knobs
definitions cont’d
g. synapse- space between 2 neurons or between neuron & effector
neurons are not connected
h. neurotransmitters-chemicals that aid in the transmission of
impulses across a synapse
ex) acetylcholine
Ntrans. clip
Path of an impulse to brain/spinal cord:
stimulus
(dendrites
of sensory
neuron)
cyton
axon
terminal
branch
synapse
dendrites of
next neuron
…….until it
reaches
brain or
spinal cord
End of notes for neuron quiz
Types of Neurons:
a. sensory- found in sense organs
relay impulse from receptor to brain or spinal cord in
the CNS (Central Nervous System)
b. motor- “neurons of motion”
relay impulse from CNS to effectors
impulse relay causes muscle to contract or gland to
secrete hormones
c. inter- “relays” in brain & spinal cord
interpret & relay impulse between sensory & motor neuron
Reflex
An involuntary, automatic response to a stimulus
•Impulse does NOT travel to the brain

Human Nervous System
Functional Organization:
•Central Nervous System (CNS)
brain, spinal cord, interneurons
• Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
nerves outside of the CNS; sensory and motor neurons
A. Central Nervous System
1.Brain
3 lb. organ, uses 20% of body’s oxygen
100 billion neurons
protected by skull, meninges (tough membrane) and
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
Composed of 2 sides called hemispheres
3 major parts:
a. cerebrum
•largest part
• right hemisphere controls the left side of the body & viceversa
•the 2 hemispheres communicate via the nerves of the corpus
callossum
•is convoluted (folded) to increase surface area for information
storage
functions:
1. sensory impulses are interpreted
2. voluntary motor activity (movement) is initiated
3. responsible for thinking, learning & memory
b. cerebellum•located beneath the rear of cerebrum
•coordinates motor activities, maintains balance
•affected by alcohol and if damaged can cause loss of balance
or tremors
c. medulla oblongata- (brainstem)
•connects brain & spinal cord
•controls involuntary actions (heart, digestion, breathing)
cerebrum
hypothalamus
thalamus
corpus
callosum
cerebellum
medulla
spinal cord
Synesthesia
Link:
biomovies
Other brain terms:
gray matter- any region in the brain or spinal cord that contains
cytons
white matter- contains myelin & axons
thalamus- relay area/center btwn. brain & spinal cord
hypothalamus- controls body temp, blood pressure, sleep &
emotions
connected to pituitary gland
acts like a gland by stimulating pituitary
2.Spinal Cordthick nerves protected by vertebrae (backbones)
continuous w/medulla
connects brain to PNS
controls reflexes
covered by meninges
surrounded by CSF
B. Peripheral Nervous System
all nerves outside of CNS
those connected to brain are cranial nerves
12 pairs servicing head & sense organs
those connected to spinal cord are spinal nerves
31 pairs throughout the body
2 Divisions of the PNS
somatic- nerves that control both voluntary movement
(motor neurons) and sense organs (sensory
neurons)
autonomic- nerves that control involuntary actions like breathing
& heart rate. Made of 2 subdivisions:
1. sympathetic
antagonists; have
opposite effects
2. parasympathetic
Neurotransmitter
Sympathetic
Parasympathetic
norepinepherine
(excitatory)
prepares for
emergency
acetylcholine
(inhibitory)
returns body to
normal, relaxed state
effects on:
heart
speeds up
slows down
vessels
constricts
(gets small)
dilate
(get big)
eyes
pupils dilate
pupils constrict
Malfunctions of the Nervous System:
A. Cerebral Palsydisease that affects cerebrum and creates problems
w/motor functions, voluntary action and memory
B. Meningitisinflammation of the membranes surrounding the
brain & spinal cord
C. Strokeresults from a hemorrhage (excessive bleeding due to
broken blood vessel) or a blood clot in the cerebrum
D. Polioviral disease of the CNS
may result in paralysis
is preventable by immunization
