© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. OVERVIEW OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Functions of the Nervous System Sensory input — gathering information To monitor changes occurring inside and outside the body Changes = stimuli Integration To process and interpret sensory input and decide if action is needed

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Functions of the Nervous System Motor output A response to integrated stimuli The response activates muscles or glands

Structural Classification of the Nervous System Peripheral nervous system (PNS) Nerves extending from the brain and spinal cord Spinal nerves — carry impulses to and from the spinal cord Cranial nerves — carry impulses to and from the brain Functions Serve as communication lines among sensory organs, the brain and spinal cord, and glands or muscles

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Functional Classification of the Peripheral Nervous System Sensory (afferent) division Nerve fibers that carry information to the central nervous system Motor (efferent) division Nerve fibers that carry impulses away from the central nervous system

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Functional Classification of the Peripheral Nervous System Motor (efferent) division (continued) Two subdivisions Somatic nervous system = voluntary Consciously controls skeletal muscles Autonomic nervous system = involuntary Automatically controls smooth and cardiac muscles and glands Further divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. The Reflex Arc Somatic reflexes Reflexes that stimulate the skeletal muscles Example: pull your hand away from a hot object Autonomic reflexes Regulate the activity of smooth muscles, the heart, and glands Example: Regulation of smooth muscles, heart and blood pressure, glands, digestive system

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. The Reflex Arc Five elements of a reflex: Sensory receptor – reacts to a stimulus Sensory neuron – carries message to the integration center Integration center (CNS) – processes information and directs motor output Motor neuron – carries message to an effector Effector organ – is the muscle or gland to be stimulated

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Spinal Cord Extends from the base of the brain stem to the first or second lumbar vertebra Provides a two-way conduction pathway to and from the brain 31 pairs of spinal nerves arise from the spinal cord

PNS: Spinal Nerves There is a pair of spinal nerves at the level of each vertebrae for a total of 31 pairs Formed by the combination of the ventral and dorsal roots of the spinal cord Named for the region from which they arise

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Cervical nerves Thoracic nerves Lumbar nerves Sacral nerves Ventral rami form cervical plexus (C 1 – C 5 ) Ventral rami form brachial plexus (C 5 – C 8 ; T 1 ) No plexus formed (intercostal nerves) (T 1 – T 12 ) Ventral rami form lumbar plexus (L 1 – L 4 ) Ventral rami form sacral plexus (L 4 – L 5 ; S 1 – S 4 ) (a) C1C1 T1T1 L1L S1S Figure 7.25a
