Nervous System
Neuron
cytoplasm dendron cell membrane nucleus nucleus of cell which makes the myelin sheath axon direction of nerve impulses
Nerve fiber
Myelin Sheath Protection of nerve fiber Speed up impulse transfer
Rest Potential More + ion outside the nerone 1.Na K pump 2.K channel 3.Big - ions
Action potential
Action potential mechanism Depolarization Stimulus to threshold Na channel open Inside nerone turn +ve. Repolarization Potential rise inside nerone to max Na channel close More k channel open so hyperpolarised Rest potential established by na k pump.
Na open K open Na close Refractory period
ending of axon secretes a chemical which diffuses into synapse and stimulates the next neurone to pass on the impulse the chemical is unstable and will be destroyed later synapse
Synapse
Synapse mechanism Go
Synaptic Cleft Neurotransmitter in vesicle release to cleft. It diffuse to another side and attach on surface receptor. Enzyme next to receptor break down. Transmitter
Brain
dorsal root ganglion dorsal root (sensory nerve) association neurone spinal cord ventral root (motor nerve) motor neurone sensory neurone effector (muscle) receptor (pain) Reflex arc : sensory, association, motor neurones
white matter grey matter central canal spinal cord spinal nerve
Peripheral Nervous System consist of cranial nerves and spinal nerves these nerves leave CNS and run out to every part of the body spinal nerve cranial nerve
Spinal Cell
Endocrine System Hormone concept Steroid concept Endocrine organs
Hormone concept Hormone is chemical messenger. It required a fitted receptor. Hormone attaching to receptor calls response.
Hormone concept 2 Hormone required blood vessel to transport to whole body.
Water soluble hormone Water soluble hormone only attach to membrane receptor.
Fat soluble hormone (steroid) Steroid can penetrate cell membrane and bind to internal receptor.
Example of steroids
Feedback mechanism Negative feedback reduce hormone production when effect of hormone expressed
