Transcript
Nervous System
By the end of the lesson you should be able to
 Describe the transmission of impulses from senses to
central nervous system and back to muscles.
 Describe the reflex action and the pathway of the
reflex arc.
 Describe the function of reflex response.
 Describe the role of the central nervous system.
Basic nerve cell structure
3 main types of nerve cells
sensory
neurone
relay
neurone
motor
neurone
Sensory neurons
Carries impulses from receptors e.g pain
receptors in skin to the CNS( brain or spinal
cord)
Relay neuron
Carries impulses from sensory nerves to
motor nerves.
Motor neuron
Carries impulses from CNS to effector e.g.
muscle to bring about movement or gland to
bring about secretion of hormone e.g ADH
Transmission of signals
The Synapse
parkinsons
