Chapter 7 : The Nervous System Peripheral Nervous System, Anatomy Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Peripheral Nervous System: Anatomy Two Main Anatomical Divisions: Central nervous system (CNS) • Brain • Spinal cord Peripheral nervous system (PNS) • Nerves outside the brain and spinal cord Peripheral Nervous System: Anatomy Organization of the Nervous System Peripheral Nervous System: Anatomy Nervous Tissue: Neurons = Nerve cells Cells specialized to transmit messages Major regions of neurons • Cell body – nucleus and metabolic center of the cell • Processes – fibers that extend from the cell body processes cell body Peripheral Nervous System: Anatomy Cell Body • Nucleus • Large nucleolus • Nissl substancespecialized rough endoplasmic reticulum • Neurofibrils – intermediate cytoskeleton that maintains cell shape Figure 7.4a Peripheral Nervous System: Anatomy Processes/ Fibers/ Extensions • outside the cell body • Dendrites – conduct impulses toward the cell body • Axons- conduct impulses away from the cell body Figure 7.4a Peripheral Nervous System: Anatomy Nerve Fiber Coverings Schwann cells – produce myelin sheaths in jelly-roll like fashion Nodes of Ranvier – gaps in myelin sheath along the axon Figure 7.5 Peripheral Nervous System: Structural Classification of Neurons Multipolar neurons – many extensions from the cell body • often are motor neurons Peripheral Nervous System: Structural Classification of Neurons Bipolar neurons – one axon and one dendrite • often are interneurons Peripheral Nervous System: Structural Classification of Neurons Unipolar neurons – have a short single process leaving the cell body • tend to be sensory neurons Peripheral Nervous System: Anatomy Axons and Nerve Impulses Axons end in axonal terminals Axonal terminals contain vesicles with neurotransmitters Axonal terminals are separated from the next neuron by a gap • Synaptic cleft – gap between adjacent neurons • Synapse – junction between nerves Peripheral Nervous System: Axons and Nerve Impulses Peripheral Nervous System: Anatomy Nervous Tissue: Supporting Cells Peripheral Nerbous System Glia: Satellite cells Protect neuron cell bodies Schwann cells Form myelin sheath in the PNS Figure 7.3e Peripheral Nervous System: Anatomy Structure of a Nerve Nerve = bundle of neuron fibers Neuron fibers are bundled by connective tissue Peripheral Nervous System: Anatomy Structure of a Nerve Endoneurium surrounds each fiber Groups of fibers are bound into fascicles by perineurium Fascicles are bound together by epineurium Figure 7.20 Peripheral Nervous System: Spinal Nerves Spinal Nerves There is a pair of spinal nerves at the level of each vertebrae for a total of 31 pairs Spinal nerves are formed by the combination of the ventral and dorsal roots of the spinal cord Spinal nerves are named for the region from which they arise Peripheral Nervous System: Spinal Nerves Anatomy of Spinal Nerves Spinal nerves divide soon after leaving the spinal cord Dorsal rami – serve the skin and muscles of the posterior trunk Ventral rami – forms a complex of networks (plexus) for the anterior Figure 7.22b Peripheral Nervous System: Spinal Nerves Spinal Nerves Peripheral Nervous System: Spinal Nerves Examples of Nerve Distribution Peripheral Nervous System: Cranial Nerves Cranial Nerves 12 pairs of nerves that mostly serve the head and neck Numbered in order, front to back Most are mixed nerves, but three are sensory only Distribution of Cranial Nerves Blue = Sensory Nerve Red = Motor Nerve Figure 7.21 Peripheral Nervous System: Cranial Nerves I Olfactory nerve – sensory for smell II Optic nerve – sensory for vision III Oculomotor nerve – motor fibers to eye muscles IV Trochlear – motor fiber to eye muscles V Trigeminal nerve – sensory for the face; motor fibers to chewing muscles VI Abducens nerve – motor fibers to eye muscles Peripheral Nervous System: Cranial Nerves VII Facial nerve – sensory for taste; motor fibers to the face VIII Vestibulocochlear nerve – sensory for balance and hearing IX Glossopharyngeal nerve – sensory for taste; motor fibers to the pharynx X Vagus nerves – sensory and motor fibers for pharynx, larynx, and viscera XI Accessory nerve – motor fibers to neck and upper back XII Hypoglossal nerve – motor fibers to tongue Distribution of Cranial Nerves Blue = Sensory Nerve Red = Motor Nerve
