Neurons

Neurons are highly specialized cells. A neuron has four parts. 1. cell body has nucleus and organelles 1 Cell body 2. dendrites receive impulses as signals (message) 2 dendrites 3. axon carries impulses as signals 3 axon 4 4. terminal converts electrical impulses to chem. signals terminal

Resting Potential Defined: Neuron at rest Neuron Exterior: – Positive charge – Mainly Na + outside the cell Neuron Interior: – Negative charge – K + inside the cell

Action Potentional Defined: a moving electrical impulse. –generated by a stimulus. –Na + enters, and cell becomes + charged. –K + leaves, and area of + charge moves.

Synapse Defined: Gap between neurons Problem: Impulse cannot cross the gap Solution: Impulse converted into chemical molecules that stimulate the next cell, called neurotransmitters Steps: – Impulse reaches neuron’s end – Vesicle releases neurotransmitters – Neurotransmitters attach to neighboring neuron – New impulse created

impul se Impulse stimulates a vesicle, which contains neurotransmitters Vesicle exits the cell and dissolves End of one cell Start of another cell

imp ulse Neurotransmitters cross the synapse and attach to receptors of a neighboring neuron Neurotransmitters stimulate a new impulse End of one cell Start of another cell

Feet Brain ….

Impulse causes the muscles to stretch and contract…this causes MOVEMENT! Motor neurons reach the muscles
