1. Anatomy and Physiology I The Nervous System Basic Structure and Function Instructor: Mary Holman

2. Three Basic Functions of the Nervous System Sensory Function Sensory or afferent neurons Integrative Function Interneurons Motor Function Motor or efferent neurons

3. Fig. 10.2a Brain Spinal cord Spinal nerves (31 pairs) Cranial nerves (12 pairs) CNS vs PNS Central Nervous System Peripheral Nervous System

4. Divisions of the Nervous System Central Nervous System CNS Brain Spinal Cord Peripheral Nervous System PNS Cranial Nerves Spinal Nerves Ganglia Sensory Receptors

5. Divisions of the PNS Somatic Nervous System Sensory neurons Motor neurons to skeletal muscle only Autonomic Nervous System Autonomic sensory neurons - visceral Motor neuron impulses to smooth & cardiac muscle, glands and adipose tissue Sympathetic vs. Parasympathetic Motor Divisions Enteric Nervous System Enteric complexes of the gut

7. Cells of Neural Tissue Neurons The electrically excitable nerve cells responsible for the functions of the nervous system Neuroglia (glia, neuroglia, glial) Support, nourish, & protect neurons
