Nervous tissue Shiping Ding Zhejiang University General characteristics: ---Components: • nerve cell: neuron, receive the stimulation, conduct the nerve impulse • glial cell: neuroglia, support, protect, insulate and nourish neurons ---Function: • Transmit impulses and thus communicate with different parts of the body through these impulses. • Works closely with endocrine system in communication within the body. Neuron: The structural and functional cellular unit of nerve system Morphology of neuron: consists of cell body, dendrite and axon ---cell body: spherical, pyramidal fusiform or satellite in shape, 5um-150um, ---dendrite: arise from the cell body and branched like trees, usually shorter and thinker than axon ---axon: most neuron only have one, long thin cord-liked, arise from the axon hillock structure of neuron cell body: perikaryon ---cell membrane: • unit membrane-irritability, receive stimuli, initiate and conduct nerve impulse • membrane proteins-ions channel and receptor • --- cell nucleus: • large and round, centrally- located, less heterochromatin, pale stained and appears empty, with a large, clear nucleolus • ---cytoplasm: a. Nissl body: Present throughout the cytoplasm of the cell body and dendrites, but absent from the axon hillock and axon LM: basophilic spot-liked or granule-liked structure EM: parallel-arranged RER and free ribosome The number of Nissl bodies varies according to neuronal type and functional state. function: synthesis of proteins: structural protein enzymes related to the production of neurotransmitters b. Neurofibril: LM: silver impregnation methods (silver preparation) thread-liked dark brown color fibril forming a network abundant in cell body, dendrites and axon EM: • neurofilament: 10 nm in diameter • microtubule: 25 nm in diameter function: • Support neurons as a cell skeleton • involving in intracellular transportation c. other organelle • Golgi complex: well-developed • Mitochondria: scattered throughout the cytoplasm • pigment • Lipid droplets dendrites: ---short branches ---structure: similar to cell body ---dendritic spine :numerous fine projections (places for formation of synapse) ---function: receive the information from other nerve cells axon: ---longer and thinner process, have a uniform diameter ---structure: no Nissl body, but have microtubule, neurofilament, microfilament, mitochondria, SER and vesicle • axon hillock: the beginning part of axon (no Nissl body) • axolemma • axoplasm ---function: initiate an impulse and conduct the impulses away from the parent cell body to other neurons or effector structures Structure and function of neuron axonal transports: • • A cellular process responsible for movement of mitochondria, lipids, synaptic vesicles, proteins and other cell parts( organelles) to and from a neuron’s cell body, through the cytoplasm of its axon. slow anterograde: cytoskeletal protein: microtubule, microfilament and neurofilament (0.1-0.4mm/d) • • fast anterograde: synaptic vesicles, enzymes and proteins( 100400mm/d) • • fast retrograde: products of metabolism, intaking materials including protein or neurotrophic factors (100400mm/d) Classification of neuron ---According to number of processes • multipolar neuron • bipolar neuron • pseudounipolar neuron ---According to function • sensory neuron: receive exogenous and endogenous stimuli • motor neuron: conduct impulses to effector organs and control their function • interneuron: connect other neurons to form complex functional chains synapse Synapse •neuron nerve fiber neuroglia nerve efferent receptor neuron Synapse ---definition: the junctions between neurons or neuron and non-nerve cells ---classification: • chemical synapse: taking neurotransmitter as communicating medium • electrical synapse: exchange ions for communication, gap junction ---structure of chemical synapse: L/M: The axon terminate in the form of a rounded enlargement, called axonal terminal or terminal button E/M: presynaptic element: axonal terminal • presynaptic membrane: axon plasmalemma • synaptic vesicle: store neurotransmitters • mitochondria synaptic cleft: the extracellular space between the presynaptic membrane and the postsynaptic membrane, 15-30nm postsynaptic element: • postsynaptic membrane: the plasmalemma at the contract point of the receiving neurons, -specific receptor molecules • The nerve impulse reaches the presynaptic element • The synaptic vesicle fuses with the presynaptic membrane and discharges the neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis • The neurotransmitters diffuses across the cleft and combines with specific receptors in the postsynaptic membrane • This reaction induces an increase in the permeability of the postsynaptic membrane and cause a change in the membrane potential of the postsynaptic neurons, then conduct the stimuli from one neuron to other neuron Glial cell (neuroglia) Form a framework to support neurons and influence their activities and metabolism Glial cell in central nervous system Astrocyte: • large star-shaped • ovoid nucleus, large and pale • end feet: to form glia limitans or vascular feet constitute blood brain barrier • Two forms: protoplasmic astrocyte fibrous astrocyte ---function • • • supporting, insulating and repairing regulate the environment and movement of neuron secret neurotrophic factor: nerve growth factor and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor protoplasmic astrocyte fibrous astrocyte blood brain barrier Functional barrier: • The continuous endothelium of capillaries and the tight junctions between endothelial cell • a continuous basal membrane around the endothelium • The vascular foot processes of astrocytes surrounding the capillaries ----Function: • Regulates the diffusion of many substances between the blood and brain, such as antibiotics, chemical and bacterial toxic matter. Oligodendrocyte: ---structure: smaller, fewer process with a small round and dark stained nuclei ---function: their processes form myelin-sheath of nerve fibers in central nervous system (CNS) Microglia: ---structure: smallest neuroglial cells, with a small dark irregular nucleus ---function: phagocytosis - mononuclear phagocyte system Ependymal cell: ---structure: • simple columnar epithelium • apical: microvilli and cilia • basal: long processes ---function: • produce cerebrospinal fluid ---distribution: ventricle of brain and central canal of spinal cord Glial cell in peripheral nervous system (PNS) Schwann cell: envelop the axon end to end to form myelin-sheath in PNS Satellite cell (capsular cell): • one layer of flattened or cuboidal cell, with round, ovoid and dark nucleus • surrounding the Neuron in ganglion for form a kind of cellular capsule Nerve fiber ---definition: a structure formed by axon and glial cell which can conduct the impulse to certain direction ---classification: • myelinated nerve fiber • unmyelinated nerve fiber myelinated nerve fiber (MNF) 1) MNF in PNS L/M: • Axon • myelin-sheath: tubular sheath encloses the axon • neurolemma: cell membrane of Schwann cell and basement membrane Myelin is a complex of lipids and protein. • Ranvier node: narrow part, no myelin-sheath • internode: the segment of NF between two Ranvier nodes, 0.3-1.5 mm, represent a single Schwann cell E/M: The myelin sheath is seen as a series of concentrically arranged light and dack lamellae---Schwann cell plasmalemma Schmidt-Lanterman cleft (incisure): area where the cytoplasm of the Schwann cells is present within the myelin sheath.
