Axons and Nerve Impulses
 Nerve impulses travel along complex
nerve pathways.
 The junction between any two
communicating neurons is called a
synapse.
 The neurons are not in direct contact,
but are separated by a gap called a
synaptic cleft.

Slide 7.11
Nerve Impulses
 The process of
crossing the synaptic
cleft with a message
is called synaptic
transmission.
 Synaptic
transmission is a one
way process using
chemicals called
neurotransmitters.

Reflex Arcs
9.11
 The simplest of our nerve pathways which
includes on a few neurons is called a reflex
arc.
 Reflex arcs are essential for involuntary
actions called reflexes.
 Reflexes are automatic responses to changes
within or outside the body.
 Examples
 Involuntary: heart rate, breathing, blood pressure,
digestion
 Automatic actions: swallowing, sneezing, coughing and
vomiting
Reflex Arc
Classification of Neurons
Classified two ways:
1. Function (direction the impulse is traveling relative to
the CNS…to or from)
2. Structure (# of processes extending from cell body)
FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION
 Sensory (afferent) neurons
 Carry impulses from the sensory receptors
 Motor (efferent) neurons
 Carry impulses from the central nervous
system
Functional Classification of
Neurons
 Interneurons (association neurons)
 Found in neural pathways in the central
nervous system
 Connect sensory and motor neurons

Neurotransmitters
Excitatory - increase membrane permeability,
increases chance for threshold to be achieved
Inhibitory - decrease membrane permeability,
decrease chance for threshold to be achieved
Types of Neurotransmitters
• Acetylcholine - stimulates muscle contraction
• Monoamines - Norepinephrine & Dopamine
(sense of feeling good. Low levels = depression)
• Serotonin (sleepiness)
• Endorphins (reduce pain, inhibit receptors)
