1 Divisions of the Nervous System Central (inside skull & spine) Brain
Spinal Cord Peripheral (outside) Nerves Spinal cord lesion

2 Figure 3.3 The Nervous System

3 Figure 3.24 Spinal Column, Ventral View

4 Vertebra of Spinal column
Here is where spinal cord lives. Nerves leave spinal cord from between vertebrae (thus if discus moves, or pinch) there is pain (similar to facia paralysis following inflamation of facial nerve, or oppression of optic nerve by pituitary tumor).

5 Figure 3.26: Spinal Cord Cross Section

7 Sensory neuron Group activity Interneuron motor neuron Ouch!
That hurts, dude! Group activity Spinal cord lesion Sensory neuron Interneuron Cells of the Nervous System. There are three general types of neurons: Sensory neuron: A neuron that detects changes in the external or internal environment and sends information about these changes to the central nervous system. Motor neuron: A neuron located within the central nervous system that controls the contraction of a muscle or the secretion of a gland. Interneuron: A neuron located entirely within the central nervous system. polio motor neuron Would sensation be abolished by: a spinal cord lesion? polio? Would the reflex be abolished by: a spinal cord lesion? polio?

8 The Peripheral Nervous System
Somatic Nervous System Spinal Nerves Cranial Nerves Receives sensory information controlling voluntary movement Autonomic Nervous System Sympathetic Parasympathetic
