PHYSIOLOGY Nervous System Types of Neurons Afferent Sensory Efferent Motor Interneurons also known as association neurons Between neuron Classes of Sensory Receptors also known as Neurons Mechano-receptors: mechanical forces- stretching alters membrane permeability (1) hair cells* (deflection = depolarization = AP's) ie. lateral line of fish (mechanoreceptor= neuromasts detect water movement, etc) (2) stretch receptors of muscles (3) equilibrium receptor of inner ear (4) receptors of skin (touch, pain, cold, heat). Chemo-receptors: chemicals sense solutes in solvents, taste, smell Osmo-receptors: of hypothalamus which monitors blood osmotic pressure Photo-receptors: light - eye, eyespots, infrared receptors of snakes, etc. Thermo-receptors: radiant (heat) energy Phono-receptors: sound waves Electro-receptors: detect electric currents... electric eels, etc.. Nociceptors: pain receptors... naked dendrites of skin (epidermis) Neuroglial Cells of the CNS Astrocytes In the CNS only Most abundant Neuroglial Cell Formation of Synapses Plays a role in making exchanges between capillaries and neurons Helps to form the Blood Brain Barrier The BBB protects the brain from intruders Astrocytes Microglial Cells Macrophage Scavenges apoptotic cells May go bad causing Alzheimer’s Disease Excessive secretion of Interleukin-1 Helps to maintain homeostasis in the brain Ependymal Cells of the CNS Ependymal Cells Lines ventricles in the brain and the central cavity of the spinal cord Cells have cilia Used to circulate the cerebrospinal fluid Oligodendrocyte Cells of the CNS Oligodendrocyte Oligodendrocytes Production of myelin in the CNS Can cover as many as 60 neurons with myelin Schwann/Satellite Cells Schwann Cells Production of myelin in the PNS Not able to cover one neuron, must use multiple Schwann Cells Formation of the Nodes of Ranvier Produces Neuronal Growth Factor Satellite Cells Function unknown Myelin Sheath Myelin Insulates the axon for rapid conduction of action potentials Nodes of Ranvier Gray v.

This creates a more positive voltage and more Na+ gates open Positive Feedback +30mV “off” Action Potential Repolarization At +30mV All Na+ gates close quickly All K+ gates open K+ diffuses out of the cell down its electrochemical gradient K+ gates close slowly at -70mV K+ continues to diffuse out of the cell until it reaches -90mV All K+ gates are closed Action Potential Hyperpolarization At -90mV the Na+/K+ATPase pump turns on Pumps 3Na+ out and 2K+ into the cell Re-establishes resting membrane potential Propagation of an Action Potential As the influx of Na+ repels the K+ down the membrane there is an accumulation of K+ The K+ accumulation with change the membrane voltage to -50mV The occurs when the previous action potential reaches +30mV Repolarization is chasing Depolarization down the membrane Refractory Period Absolute refractory From the opening of the Na+ channels until the Na+ channels begin to reset to their original resting state Cannot re-stimulate the neuron during this time Relative refractory The interval following the absolute refractory period Na+ channels have returned to their resting state K+ channels are still open and repolarizing the membrane Can re-stimulate the neuron during this time with a great stimulus Synapse Presynaptic neuron Postsynaptic neuron Synaptic Cleft About 10 angstroms between neurons Synaptic Vesicles Filled with neurotransmitter Synapse Voltage regulated Calcium channels Membrane reaches -50mV due the accumulation of K+ Calcium channels open Calcium diffuses in down its electrochemical gradient 2 Calcium ions bind to the vesicle The vesicle fuses with the membrane for exocytosis of the NT Synapse The Neurotransmitter crosses the synaptic cleft NT binds to the receptors on the postsynaptic neuron Neurotransmitter are removed from the synaptic cleft by: Reuptake Phagocytosis Enzymatic Degradation Events at the Synapse AP reaches axon terminal Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels open Ca2+ entry Ca2+ = Signal for Neurotransmitter Release Exocytosis of neurotransmitter containing vesicles 1. Axon Diameter Fig. 8-18 2. Signal Transduction in Myelinated Axon: Animation Demyelination diseases (E.g. ?) 3 Classes of Neurotransmitters (of 7) 1. Acetyl Choline (ACh) – – – – Made from Acetyl CoA and choline Synthesized in axon terminal Quickly degraded by ACh-esterase Cholinergic neurons and receptors – Nicotinic (agonistic) and muscarinic (antagonist) 2. Amines – Serotonin (tryptophane) and Histamine (histidine) – – – 3. Dopamine and Norepinephrine (tyrosine) Widely used in brain, role in emotional behavior (NE used in ANS) Adrenergic neurons and receptors - and Gases – 4. SSRI = antidepressants NO (nitric oxide) and CO Others: AA, (e.g., GABA), lipids, peptides, purines Neurotransmitters Cholinergic Receptors Nicotinic Muscarinic Catecholamine Alpha Beta Nicotinic Receptors Stimulated by ACh and nicotine, not stimulated by muscarine. Found at all ganglionic synapses. Also found at neuromuscular junctions. A ligand sensitive gate Muscarinic Receptors Stimulated by ACh and muscarine, not stimulated by nicotine. Found at target organs when ACh is released by post-ganglionic neurons (all of parasympathetic, and some sympathetic). Stimulated selectively by Muscarine, Bethanechol. Blocked by Atropine. Stimulation causes: Increased sweating. Decreased heart rate. Decreased blood pressure due to decreased cardiac output. Bronchoconstriction and increased bronchosecretion. Contraction of the pupils, and contraction of ciliary body for near vision. Tearing and salivation. Increased motility and secretions of the GI system. Urination and defecation. Engorgement of genitalia. Catecholamine Receptors NE and epinephrine, each act on α- and β-adrenergic receptors Two subclasses of α-adrenergic receptors Activation of α1-receptors usually results in a slow depolarization linked to the inhibition of K+ channels activation of α2-receptors produces a slow hyperpolarization due to the activation of a different type of K+ channel. There are three subtypes of β-adrenergic receptor Agonists and antagonists of adrenergic receptors β-blocker propanolol (Inderol®). However, most of their actions are on smooth muscle receptors, particularly the cardiovascular and respiratory systems α1 adrenergic receptors Mainly involved with contraction of smooth muscle G protein, cAMP action α2 adrenergic receptors Three types of receptors α2A, α2Β, and α2C These receptors have a critical role in regulating neurotransmitter release from sympathetic nerves and from adrenergic neurons in the central nervous system β1 adrenergic receptors Specific actions of the β1 receptor include: Increases cardiac output by raising heart rate and increasing the volume expelled with each beat (increased ejection fraction). Renin release from juxtaglomerular cells. Lipolysis in adipose tissue. β2 adrenergic receptors Specific actions of the β2 receptor include: Smooth muscle relaxation, e.g. in bronchi. Relax non-pregnant uterus. Relax detrusor urinae muscle of bladder wall Dilate arteries to skeletal muscle Glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis Contract sphincters of GI tract Thickened secretions from salivary glands. Inhibit histamine-release from mast cells Increase renin secretion from kidney β3 adrenergic receptors Specific actions of the β3 receptor include: Enhancement CNS effects of lipolysis in adipose tissue. Neurological Communication There’s no one-to-one communication between neurons May be as many as 500 neurons communicating with a single neuron Convergence Divergence Postsynaptic Responses Can lead to either EPSP or IPSP Any one synapse can only be either excitatory or inhibitory Fast synaptic potentials Opening of chemically gated ion channel Rapid & of short duration Slow synaptic potentials Involve G-proteins and 2nd messengers Can open or close channels or change protein composition of neuron Integration of Neural Information Transfer Multiple graded potentials are integrated at axon hillock to evaluate necessity of AP 1.
