The nervous divisions
• 2 divisions
– __________________ (CNS): Brain and
spinal cord
– __________________ (PNS): Nerves
and ganglia (collections of cell bodies)

sensory (afferent) nerves —
carry sensory information
into brain and spinal cord
somatic sensory
nerves: signals
from skin,
muscles,
joints, special
senses

visceral sensory
nerves:
signals from
body organs
motor (efferent) nerves —
carry motor information
from CNS to effectors
somatic motor
nerves: signals
to skeletal
muscles,
voluntary
autonomic motor
nerves: signals
to smooth
muscle, cardiac
muscle, glands,

13.1 Overview of the Nervous System
The nervous system
• The nervous system allows for
_____________ between cells through
sensory input, integration of data, and
motor output.
• 2 cell types: _______ and ________
6
13.1 Overview of the Nervous System
Expanding on neurons
• 3 types of neurons
• _________ – takes impulses from sensory
receptor to CNS
• _________ – receives information in the
CNS and sends it to a motor neuron
• ______ – takes impulses from the CNS to an
effector (i.e., gland or muscle fiber)
7
13.1 Overview of the Nervous System
Expanding on neurons
• Neuron structure (Ch. 4 review)
• Cell body – main cell where nucleus and
most organelles reside
• Dendrites – many short extensions that
carry impulses to a cell body
• Axon (nerve fiber) – single, long extension
that carries impulses away from the cell
body

13.1 Overview of the Nervous System
The myelin sheath
• A lipid covering on long axons that acts to
increase the speed of nerve impulse conduction,
insulation, and regeneration in the PNS
• _____________ – neuroglia that make up the
myelin sheath in the PNS
• _____________ – gaps between myelination on
the axons
• Saltatory conduction – conduction of the nerve
impulse from node to node

13.1 Overview of the Nervous System
The nerve impulse: Resting potential (RP)
• ___________________ – when the axon is not
conducting a nerve impulse
• More positive ions outside than inside the
membrane
• Negative charge of -70 mV inside the axon
• More Na+ outside than inside
• More K+ inside than outside

a. Resting potential: Na+ outside the axon, K+ and large
anions inside the axon. Separation of charges polarizes
the cell and causes the resting potential.

13.1 Overview of the Nervous System
The nerve impulse: Action potential
• ________________ – rapid change in the axon
membrane that allows a nerve impulse to occur
• Sodium gates open, letting Na+ in.
• Depolarization occurs.
• Interior of axon loses negative charge (-55 mV,
then +35 mV).
14
13.1 Overview of the Nervous System
The nerve impulse: Action potential
• Potassium gates open, letting K+ out.
• _______________ occurs.
• Interior of axon regains ______________ charge
(-70 mV).
• Wave of depolarization/repolarization travels
down the axon.
• Resting potential is restored by moving
potassium inside and sodium outside.
