Slide 2.1
Functions of the Nervous System
 Sensory input – gathering information
 Changes occurring inside and outside the
body
 Changes = stimuli
 Integration
 Process and interpret sensory input
 Determine action needed
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Slide 7.1a
Functions of the Nervous System
 Motor output
 A response to integrated stimuli
 Activates muscles or glands (effectors)
 May be voluntary
 May be involuntary

Structural Classification of the
Nervous System

Slide 7.9b
Neuron Anatomy
 Processes
 Dendrites:
conduct
impulses toward
the cell body
 Axons: conduct
impulses away
from the cell
body
Figure 7.4a

Slide 7.10
Axons and Nerve Impulses
 Axons end in axon terminals
 Axonal terminals
house vesicles with neurotransmitters
 Synaptic cleft – gap between adjacent
neurons
 Synapse – junction between nerves
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Slide 7.11
Neuron Cell Bodies: Location
 Most are in the CNS
 Gray matter = cell bodies and unmyelinated
fibers
 Nuclei = clusters of cell bodies within the
white matter of the central nervous system
 Ganglia = collections of cell bodies outside the
CNS
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Slide 7.13
Functional Classification of Neurons
 Sensory (afferent) neurons
 Carry impulses from sensory receptors
 Cutaneous sense organs
 Proprioceptors: detect stretch or tension
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Slide 7.14a
Functional Classification of Neurons
 Motor (efferent) neurons
 Carry impulses from the central nervous
system
 To an effector (muscle or gland)
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Slide 7.14a
Functional Classification of Neurons
 Interneurons (association neurons)
 Found in neural pathways in the CNS
 Connect sensory and motor neurons
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Slide 7.14b
Functional Classification of Neurons
Figure 7.6

Slide 7.15
Structural Classification of Neurons
 Multipolar neurons – many extensions
from the cell body
 Most common: these are motor neurons
Figure 7.8a
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Slide 7.16a
Structural Classification of Neurons
 Bipolar neurons – one axon and one
dendrite
 Rare: these are sensory neurons (eye, ear)
Figure 7.8b

Slide 7.16c
Nerve Impulse Transmission
 Two mechanisms involved
Transmission along a neuron
An electrical process
Transmission between neurons
A chemical process
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Slide 7.17
Functional Properties of Neurons
 Irritability – ability to respond to stimuli
 Conductivity – ability to transmit an
impulse
 The plasma membrane at rest is
polarized (like a resting muscle fiber)
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Slide 7.17
Transmission of a Nerve Impulse
along a Neuron
 Depolarization –
stimulus causes a
change in membrane
permeability
 Allows sodium (Na+) to
enter the neuron
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Figure 7.9a–c
Slide 7.18
Transmission of a Nerve Impulse
along a Neuron
 The exchange of ions
creates an action
potential in the neuron
 “potential to do work”
 Sound familiar??
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Figure 7.9a–c
Slide 7.18
The Action Potential
 Once the action potential (nerve
impulse) begins, it spreads along the
entire neuron
“all-or-none” law: sound familiar??
 Potassium ions (K+) leave the neuron
after Na+ enters
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Slide 7.19
The Action Potential
 Exchange of Na+ and K+ repolarizes the
membrane
 The sodium-potassium pump restores
ions to their original location
 Protein pump in the membrane
 This action requires ATP
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Slide 7.19
Nerve Impulse Propagation
 The impulse
continues to move
along the neuron
 Impulses travel
faster along
myelinated fibers
Figure 7.9c–e
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Slide 7.20
Nerve Impulse Propagation
 Myelinated fibers:
~200 feet/second
 Unmyelinated fibers:
~10 feet/second
Figure 7.9c–e
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Slide 7.20
Transmission of the Nerve Impulse
between Neurons
 Impulses can cross the synapse to
another nerve
 Depolarization activates vesicles in axon
terminal
 Requires Ca++
 Neurotransmitter is released
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Slide 7.21
Transmission of the Nerve Impulse
between Neurons
 The dendrite of the “next” neuron has
receptor sites
 Neurotransmitter attaches to receptors
 If enough molecules of NT attach:
 A new action potential is generated
 Sound familiar??
