Anatomy and Physiology I The Nervous System Basic Structure and Function Instructor: Mary Holman Three Basic Functions of the Nervous System Sensory Function Sensory or afferent neurons Integrative Function Interneurons Motor Function Motor or efferent neurons Fig. 10.2a CNS Central Nervous System vs PNS Peripheral Nervous System Brain Cranial nerves (12 pairs) Spinal cord Spinal nerves (31 pairs) Divisions of the Nervous System Central Nervous System CNS Brain Spinal Cord Peripheral Nervous System PNS Cranial Nerves Spinal Nerves Ganglia Sensory Receptors Divisions of the PNS Somatic Nervous System Sensory neurons Motor neurons to skeletal muscle only Autonomic Nervous System Autonomic sensory neurons - visceral Motor neuron impulses to smooth & cardiac muscle, glands and adipose tissue Sympathetic vs. Parasympathetic Motor Divisions Enteric Nervous System Enteric complexes of the gut Fig. 10.7 Central nervous system Peripheral nervous system Cell body Dendrites Sensory receptor Cell body Axon (central process) Axon (peripheral process) Sensory (afferent) neuron Interneurons Motor (efferent) neuron Axon Effector (muscle or gland) Axon Axon terminal Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
