6 Hierarchical orgnization CNS consists of the brain and the spinal cord The brain analyzes and interprets the information Response messages are passed from the brain through the spinal cord and to the rest of the body Spinal cord carries messages from the body to the brain
7 Functions of the nervous system Sensory Function sensory receptors gather information information is carried to the CNS Integrative function sensory information used to create sensations memory thoughts decisions Motor Function decisions are acted upon impulses are carried to effectors
8 General functions of the nervous system The three general functions of the nervous system Receiving stimuli sensory function Deciding about stimuli integrative function Reacting to stimuli motor function
9 The spinal cord Protected by a column of bones Produces some behaviors of its own (spinal reflexes) without the help of the brain These reflexes are automatic, requiring no conscious effort Sometimes they are influenced by thought and emotion - example: touching a hot iron
10 Spinal cord Extends from the medulla oblongata of the brain to the area around the first lumbar vertebra in the lower back Nerves from peripheral nervous system extend out from te spinal cord Protected by: Vertebral column Cerebrospinal fluid Meninges
11 Spinal cord Meninges are three layers of membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord Layers of meninges Dura mater outer tough fibrous membrane Arachnoid mater middle, weblike membrane containing CNF Pia mater iinnermost layer containing several blood vessels
12 The structure of multipolar neuron
13 Myelinated and unmyelinated axons Myelin sheathing is interrupted by bare patches of axon called nodes of Ranvier. Action potentials jump from node to node without depolarizing the region under the myelin sheath - called saltatory conduction. Myelin sheathing and saltatory conduction improves the speed of nerve impulse conduction.

15 Ion chanels in neurons Type of chanel Discription Location Leakage channels Gated chanels that ramdomly Found in all neuron cells open and close Ligand - gated channels Gated channels that open in Dendites and cell bodies of response to the binding of the motor neurons and interneurons ligand Mechanically gated channels Gated channels that open in response to mechanical stimuli (touch, pressure, vibration) Voltage gated channels Gated channels that opens in response to voltage stimulus ( change in voltage potential) Dendrites of some sensory neurons Axons of all type of neurons
16 Classification of neurons by shape Pseudounipolar: axon and dendrite look like one process e.g. sensory neurons Bipolar: one axon, one dendrite e.g. retina Multipolar: one axon, many dendrites e.g. motor neurons
17
18 Classification of neurons by function Sensory (or afferent): carry impulses from receptors (e.g. pain receptors in skin) to the CNS (brain or spinal cord) pseudounipolar or bipolar Association (or interneurons): carry impulses from sensory nerves to motor nerves located entirely within the CNS multipolar Motor (or efferent): carry impulses from CNS to effector (e.g. muscle to bring about movement or gland to bring about secretion of hormone) multipolar
19 Glial cells (supporting cells) We have: 100 billion neurons 10x more glial cells! Glial cells: Support neurons (physically and nutrients) Cover neurons with myelin Clean up debris
20 Types of neuroglial cells in te CNS Microglia Phagocytic cells Astrocytes Connect neurons to blood vessels Mop up the excess ions Induce synapse formation Oligodendrocytes Myelinating cells Ependyma (ependymal cells) Line central canal of spinal cord Line ventricles of brain
21 Sensory information to the spinal cord
22 Sensory information
23 Transmission of sensory information
24 Reflex arc Basic elements of reflex arc Receptor Sensory neuron Integration center Motor neuron Effector
25 Brain The brain is located within the cranial cavity of the skull and consists of: -Cerebrum -Diencephalon -Brainstem -Cerebellum
26 Functional areas of cerebrum
27 Cerebrum - Lateralization The largest, most conspicuous portion of the brain. 2 hemispheres connected by the corpus callosum lateralization. Has an outer cortex of gray matter surrounding an interior that is mostly white matter (except for a few small portions) In most people, the left hemisphere has a more control over language, math, and logic, while the right hemisphere is geared towards musical, artistic and other creative endeavors. Most individuals with left cerebral dominance are righthanded.
28 Cerebral cortex The cerebrum is covered by several thin layers of densely packed cells known as the cerebral cortex Allows for sensation, voluntary movement, selfawareness, communication, recognition, and other functions. On each cerebral hemisphere, deep fissures divide the cortex into 4 lobes frontal lobes parietal lobes occipital lobes temporal lobes
29 Cerebrum Frontal lobe: Emotional control Self awarness Motivation Judgment Problem solving Talking Movement
30 Temporal lobe: Memory Hearing Understanding language Processing information Parietal lobe: Sense of touch Awarness of spatial relationships Academic functions reading Occipital lobe Vision
31 Brain Cerebellum Balance Coordination Skilled motor activity Brain stem: Breathing Heart rate Arousal and cosciousness Sleep and wake cycles
32 Brain and functions Frontal lobe: Difficulty with motor activity Bladder control Social behaviour Personality Parietal lobe: Difficulty with reading, writting, math calculation, Distinguishing right from left Occipital lobe: Visual disturbances
33 Brain and functions Broca s area: Speech production- difficulty with expressing words Temporal lobe: Difficulty with memory Hearing Spoken language Wernicke s area Speech comprehension Difficulty with understanding spoken language
34 Diencephalon Forms the central core of the forebrain 3 paired structures: Thalamus Hypothalamus Epithalamus
35 Thalamus 80% of the diencephalon Sensory relay station - directs sensory messages to higher centers in the brain i.e. the sight of sunset is directed to a visual area The role of the thalamus is to filter information going to the cortex by preventing or enhancing the passage of specific information depending upon its significance to the individual
36 Hypothalamus Plays a central role in maintenance of homeostasis in the body: Autonomic regulatory center Influences HR, BP, respiration rate, GIT motility, pupillary diameter. Emotional response Involved in fear, pleasure Drive center: sex, hunger Regulation of body temperature
37 Hypothalamus Regulation of food intake Regulation of water balance and thirst Regulation of sleep/wake cycles Hormonal control Releases hormones that influence hormonal secretion from the anterior pituitary gland. Releases hormones: oxytocin and vasopressin
38 Epithalamus Above the thalamus Contains the pineal gland which releases melatonin involved in sleep/wake cycle involved in mood Contains a structure called the habenula involved in food and water intake
39 Brainstem the lower part of the brain, structurally continuous with the spinal cord, provides motor and sensory innervation to the face and neck via the cranial nerves regulation of cardiac and respiratory function maintenance of consciousness regulation of the sleep cycle
40 Cerebellum 2nd largest region of the brain. 10% of the brain by volume, but it contains 50% of its neurons Has 2 primary functions: Adjusting the postural muscles of the body Coordinates rapid, automatic adjustments, that maintain balance and equilibrium Programming movements controlled at the subconscious and conscious levels Compares motor commands with sensory info from muscles and joints, and performs any adjustments required to make the movement smooth
action potential afferent neuron Weblike; specifically, the weblike middle layer of the three meninges. arachnoid astrocytes autonomic nervous system
action potential A large transient depolarization event, including polarity reversal, that is conducted along the membrane of a muscle cell or a nerve fiber. afferent neuron Nerve cell that carries impulses
