Nervous system function Central and peripheral nervous system Nervous system cells Myelinated neurons Nerve signal transmission Nerve Synapse Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Nervous Tissues Nervous tissue functions to conduct messages throughout the body. When nerve cells are stimulated, an electrical signal quickly travels through the nerve cell to the nerve ending, triggering events Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Nervous System Includes nerve tissue and sense organs Nervous system functions to: Senses environment – receives information from both outside and inside the body Processes the information it receives Respond to information – sends out orders Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Two Parts of the Nervous System 1. Central Nervous System (CNS) Brain and Spinal Cord 2. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) Nervous tissue outside brain and spine Sense organs Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Central Nervous System Peripheral Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Nervous System Cells Two types of nervous tissue cells Neurons – the cells that are responsible for transmitting messages Neuroglial cells – cells that support the neurons Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Neuroglial cells Microglia – immune system cells, engulf bacteria and cellular debris Astrocytes – provide nutrients to neurons Oligodenrocytes and Schwann cells – form myelin sheaths Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 4.6 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Parts of a Neuron Cell body – contains the nucleus, main body of cell Dendrites – projections from the cell body that carry messages to the cell body Axons – one large projection that carry messages away from the cell body Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Neuron Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Neurons Have Dendrites, a Cell Body, and an Axon Dendrites receive information from other neurons or from the environment. The cell body controls the cell’s metabolic activities. Axon endings release chemicals called neurotransmitters that affect the activity of nearby neurons or an effector (muscle or gland). Nucleus Cell body The cell body integrates input from other neurons. Receiving portion of neuron Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. An axon conducts the nerve impulse away from the cell body. Axon endings Sending portion of neuron Figure 7.2 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 12-12 Neurons of the Peripheral Nervous System Neurons in the PNS are either carrying messages to or from the CNS Afferent = Sensory neurons = Neurons carrying messages to the CNS Efferent = Motor neurons = Neurons carrying messages from the CNS Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Interneurons in the Central Nervous System Located between sensory and motor neurons within the CNS Interneurons integrate and interpret sensory signals Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

Simple diffusion Facilitated diffusion Active transport Both 2 and 3 All of the above Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. The Nerve Impulse Is an Electrochemical Signal A nerve impulse, or action potential, involves sodium ions (Na+) and potassium ions (K+) that cross the cell membrane through the ion channels Each ion channel is designed to allow only certain ions to pass through Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Action Potential Cross section Axon membrane Neuron plasma membrane Extracellular fluid Cytoplasm Continually open ion channels “Gated” ion channels Ion channels Ion channels can be open continuously or opened and closed by a molecular gate Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Sodium-potassium pump Sodium-potassium pump The sodium-potassium pump uses cellular energy (ATP) to pump sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell Figure 7.4 Membrane Potential The difference in charge between the inside and outside of the neuron is the membrane potential Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Resting Membrane Potential A neuron that is not conducting a message is said to be “Resting” When a neuron is resting there is more sodium (Na+) outside the neuron cell and more potassium (K+) inside the cell The inside of the cell has a negative charge compared to the outside the cell Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Resting Membrane Potential Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. The Nerve Impulse Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 7.5 (1 of 4) Sodium Potassium Pump To maintain this resting membrane potential the neuron pumps Na+ out of the cell and K+ into the cell. The transport proteins take 3 Na+ ions out for every 2 K+ ions into the cell = Na+/K+ pump This is Active Transport – requiring ATP Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Action Potential An electrochemical signal conducted along an axon. It is a wave of depolarization followed by repolarization Depolarization is caused by sodium ions entering the axon Repolarization is caused by potassium ions leaving axon Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Steps of an Action Potential 1. The axon is depolarized when voltage gated sodium ion channels open and Na+ comes rushing in, causing the inside of the neuron to become positively charged Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Action Potential Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 7.5 (2 of 4) Steps of an Action Potential 2. The axon is repolarized when voltage gated potassium ion channels open up and allow K+ to go out of the axon This returns the membrane potential to be negative on the inside of the neuron The action potential travels down the axon Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Action Potential Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 7.5 (3 of 4) Action Potential After the action potential, the sodium potassium pump restores the original conditions by pumping sodium (Na+) out of the cell and potassium (K+) back into the cell Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. The Nerve Impulse Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 7.5 (4 of 4) The Nerve Impulse PLAY Animation—The Nerve Impulse Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 7.6 Action Potentials It is an all or nothing response – if it is not a great enough stimulation the channels won’t open. The level of the action potential is always the same. The direction is always one way down the axon. The sodium channels are inactivated for awhile after the action potential passes = refractory period. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. When a neuron is resting, sodium ions have a greater concentration: 1. inside the neuron cell 2. outside the neuron cell 3. concentration is the same Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. When a neuron is depolarizing, which ions come into the neuron? 1. 2. 3. 4. Calcium (Ca++) Sodium (Na+) Potassium (K+) Chlorine (Cl-) Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. When a neuron is depolarizing, the inside of the neuron cell becomes 1. Positively charged 2. Negatively charged Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Nerve Synapse How are messages passed from one nerve to the next or from the nerve to a muscle? The junction between two neurons or between a neuron and a muscle is called a synapse Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Components of the Synapse 1. Presynaptic neuron is the transmitting neuron 2. postsynaptic neuron is the receiving neuron or the muscle 3. And the gap in between them = synaptic cleft Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Presynaptic neuron Presynaptic neuron has synaptic vesicles that contain neurotransmitters Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Synaptic Transmission Dendrites Axon Nucleus Cell body Impulse Impulse Step 1: The impulse reaches the axon ending of the presynaptic membrane. Synaptic knob Step 2: Synaptic vesicles release neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft. Synaptic cleft Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Synaptic vesicle Membrane of postsynaptic neuron Figure 7.8 (1 of 3) Synaptic Transmission Synaptic vesicle Neurotransmitter Step 3: Neurotransmitter diffuses across synaptic cleft. Receptor (of sodium ion channel) on postsynaptic membrane Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 7.8 (2 of 3) Synaptic Transmission Step 4: Neurotransmitter molecules bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron. Step 5: Sodium ion channels open. Step 6: Sodium ions enter the postsynaptic neuron, causing depolarization and possible action potential. Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 7.8 (3 of 3) Transmission across synaptic cleft 1. The action potential gets to the end of the presynaptic axon 2. The action potential triggers Ca2+ to enter the presynaptic axon terminal 3. The Ca2+ triggers synaptic vesicles located at the axon terminal to merge with the neural membrane Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Transmission across synaptic cleft 4. The synaptic vesicles release the neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft 5. These neurotransmitters travel across the synaptic cleft to the postsynaptic neuron (or the muscle) 6. Neurotransmitter binds to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron (or muscle) Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Transmission across synaptic cleft 7. These receptors are ligand gated sodium ion channels which allow Na+ to enter the postsynaptic neuron (or muscle) and triggers an action potential in the postsynaptic neuron (or muscle contraction) 8. Once the neurotransmitters are released they need to be destroyed or contained quickly or they will continue to stimulate the nerve Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Synapse PLAY Animation—The Synapse Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
