4. Neurons  Neurons - specialized nerve cells that help you gather information about your environment, interpret the information, and react to it. 33.1 Structure of the Nervous System Nervous System  Neurons consist of three main regions: 1.dendrites 2.cell body 3.axon. video clip Chapter 33

5.  Dendrites - receive signals and pass them to the cell body. Nervous System  axon - passes those impulses on to the other neurons or muscles. 33.1 Structure of the Nervous System Chapter 33

6.  three kinds of neurons: 1.sensory neurons, 2. interneurons, and 3. motor neurons. Nervous System  1. Sensory neurons send impulses from receptors in the skin and sense organs to the brain and spinal cord.  2. Interneurons carry impulses to motor organs. 33.1 Structure of the Nervous System Chapter 33

7. Nervous System 33.1 Structure of the Nervous System  3. Motor neurons carry impulses away from the brain and spinal cord to a gland or muscles, resulting in a secretion or movement. Order of signals: Sensory to interneuron to motor neuron Chapter 33

8. Nervous System Chapter 33

9. A Nerve Impulse Nervous System  Neurons at rest: inside is negatively charged, outside is positively charged  Sodium ions (Na + ) are outside of axon and K+ is inside 33.1 Structure of the Nervous System Chapter 33

10. An Action Potential Nervous System  During an action potential (AP): Na+ moves into the axon, K+ rushes out.  Charges switch: Becomes negative outside, positive inside  After the AP, the Na/K pump restores the membrane (3 Na+ move out for every 2 K+ moving inside). Inside becomes negative and outside becomes positively charged. 33.1 Structure of the Nervous System Chapter 33

12. Nervous System Chapter 33

13.  Synapse - The small gap between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another neuron Nervous System  Neurotransmitters – carries action potentials across the gaps The Synapse 33.1 Structure of the Nervous System Chapter 33

15.  two major divisions: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).  video clip (8 min) video clip (8 min) 33.2 Organization of the Nervous System Nervous System Chapter 33

16. The Central Nervous System Nervous System  made up mostly of interneurons.  Coordinates all of the body’s activities  Relays messages, processes information, and analyzes responses  video clip video clip 33.2 Organization of the Nervous System Chapter 33

17. The Brain Nervous System  the control center of the entire body. 33.2 Organization of the Nervous System Chapter 33

18. The Spinal Cord Nervous System  Nerve column that extends from the brain to the lower back.  Protected by the vertebrae  Processes reflexes 33.2 Organization of the Nervous System Chapter 33

19. The Peripheral Nervous System Nervous System  The PNS contains sensory and motor neurons  The PNS is divided into somatic and autonomic systems. 33.2 Organization of the Nervous System Chapter 33

20. The Somatic Nervous System Nervous System  Nerves in this system relay information from external sensory receptors to the CNS, motor nerves relay information from the CNS to skeletal muscles.  Voluntary movements and reflexes are a part of the somatic nervous system. 33.2 Organization of the Nervous System Chapter 33

21. The Autonomic Nervous System Nervous System  carries impulses from the CNS to the heart and other internal organs.  The body responds involuntarily  Example: Digestion 33.2 Organization of the Nervous System Chapter 33

22.  Two branches of the autonomic nervous system: Nervous System  The sympathetic nervous system: most active in times of emergency or stress (fight or flight).  The parasympathetic nervous system is most active when the body is relaxed.  mirror neuron video clip - 13 min mirror neuron video clip - 13 min 33.2 Organization of the Nervous System Chapter 33

24. Taste and Smell (DON’T COPY!)  Specialized neurons in your body enable you to taste, smell, hear, see, and touch, and to detect motion and temperature. 33.3 The Senses Nervous System  Taste buds detect combinations of chemicals that we identify as sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. Chapter 33

25.  Receptors associated with taste and smell are located in the mouth and nasal cavity. Nervous System 33.3 The Senses (DON’T COPY!)  Signals from these receptors work together to create a combined effect in the brain. Chapter 33

26. Sight  Light travels through the cornea and the pupil to the lens. Nervous System  The lens focuses the image on the retina. 33.3 The Senses  Rods and cones in the retina provide light-sensitivity and information about color. Chapter 33

27. Touch  Many types of sensory receptors that respond to temperature, pressure, and pain are found in the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin. Nervous System 33.3 The Senses (DON’T COPY!) Chapter 33

28. How Drugs Work  A drug is a substance, natural or artificial, that alters the function of the body. 33.4 Effects of Drugs Nervous System Chapter 33

29. Nervous System Chapter 33

30.  Some drugs affect the nervous system in the following ways: Nervous System  can cause an increase in the amount of a neurotransmitter that is released into a synapse  can block a receptor site on a dendrite, preventing a neurotransmitter from binding  can prevent a neurotransmitter from leaving a synapse  can imitate a neurotransmitter 33.4 Effects of Drugs Chapter 33

31. Nervous System 33.4 Effects of Drugs  Many drugs that affect the nervous system influence the level of a neurotransmitter called dopamine.  Normally, dopamine is removed from a synapse by being reabsorbed by the neuron that released it. Chapter 33

32. Nervous System Classes of Commonly Abused Drugs  Stimulants  Drugs that increase alertness and physical activity  Nicotine  Caffeine 33.4 Effects of Drugs Chapter 33

33. Nervous System Depressants  Drugs that tend to slow down the central nervous system  Alcohol  Inhalants  Illegal drugs 33.4 Effects of Drugs Chapter 33

34. Nervous System Tolerance and Addiction  Tolerance occurs when a person needs more and more of the same drug to get the same effect.  The psychological and/or physiological dependence on a drug is addiction. 33.4 Effects of Drugs Chapter 33
