Transcript
Slide # 1
Diagram of the Nervous System
Slide # 2
Neurons
Slide # 3
Axons
 Thread-like extensions
from the cell body
 Tube-like fibers that
carry impulses away
from the soma to the
dendrites
 Myelin coating
Slide # 4
Multiple Sclerosis
 MS destroys myelin
sheaths of axons
 This can cause
erratic and
uncoordinated
behavior
Slide # 5
Slide # 6
Dendrites
 Short, thin fibers that
stick out from the cell
body
 Dendrites receive
impulses or messages
from other neurons and
send them to the cell
body
Slide # 7
Characteristics of Neurons
They cannot replace themselves
Damage is permanent
Threshold of excitation
Slide # 8
The Neuron Connection
 Synapse junction
 Neurotransmitters
 Open chemical
“locks”
 Inhibition
Slide # 9
How a Neuron Fires
Slide # 10
