1 Chapter 20 The Nervous System
2 Overview: The Nervous System
3 Section 1 Functions of the Nervous System 1) Receives information about what is happening both inside and outside your body 2) Directs the way in which your body responds to this information 3) Helps maintain homeostasis
4 Jobs of the Nervous System Receiving Information You are aware of what s happening in the environment around you Checks conditions inside your body, such as the level of glucose
5 Jobs of the Nervous System RESPONDING TO INFORMATION Any change or signal in the environment that can make an organism react is a stimulus After your nervous system analyzes the stimulus, it causes a response Example: a soccer ball zooms past you, you kick the ball toward the goal A response is what your body does in reaction to a stimulus Some nervous system responses are: involuntary/voluntary
6 Jobs of the Nervous System Maintaining Homeostasis The nervous system directs the body to respond appropriately to the information it receives Example: if you re hungry you ll eat This action maintains homeostasis by supplying your body with nutrients and energy it needs
7 Neuron A Message Carrier The cells that carry information through your nervous system are called neurons The message that a neuron carries is called a nerve impulse The structure of a neuron enable sit to carry nerve impulses
8 Structure of a Neuron
9 Structure of a Neuron A neuron has a large cell body that contain the nucleus The cell body has threadlike extensions: like a dendrite A dendrite carries impulses toward the cell body An axon: carries impulses away from the cell body Nerve impulses begin in a dendrite, move toward the cell body, and then move down an axon
10 Structure of a Neuron A neuron can have many dendrites, but it has only ONE axon An axon, can have MORE than one tip, so the impulse can go to more than one other cell Axons and dendrites nerve fibers (another name) Nerve fibers are arranged in PARALLEL BUNDLES - covered with connective tissue - bundle of nerve fibers = NERVE
11
12 Synesthesia Optical Illusions Can you trust your Ears? Eyes?
13 Kinds of Neurons 3 kinds of neurons: Sensory interneurons Motor Together, they make up a chain of nerve cells that carry an impulse through the nervous system
14 Sensory Neuron Picks up stimuli from the internal or external environment and converts each stimulus into a nerve impulse The impulse travels along the sensory neuron until it reaches an interneuron, in the brain/spinal cord
15 Interneuron Carries nerve impulses from one neuron to another Some interneurons pass impulses from sensory neurons to motor neurons
16 Motor Neurons Sends an impulse to a muscle, and the muscle contracts in response
17
18 How a Nerve Impulse Travels Nerve impulses begin in the DENDRITES of neuron Impulse moves up to cell body Then > down the axon until it reaches AXON TIP A nerve impulse travels along the neuron in the form of an electrical and chemical signal 120 meters per second!
19 How a Nerve Impulse Travels There is a tiny space called a SYNAPSE Located between each axon tip and the next structure 1. Next structure = can be a dendrite/another neuron 2. Next structure = muscle or a cell in another organ
20 How a Nerve Impulse Travels Nerve impulse must carry across the gap between axon and next structure AXON TIPS release chemicals that enable the impulse to cross the synapse **If this didn t happen the impulse would stop at the end of axon and not travel to other neurons or organs
21
22 How a Nerve Impulse Travels Think of this picture The synapse is like a river Axon is a road that leads to the river Nerve impulse is like a car traveling this road To get to the other side of the river, a car must take a ferry Chemicals that that axon tip releases are the ferry
23 What is a Synapse? How do neurons work in the brain?
24
25
26 Review Questions 1) Describe the 3 functions of the nervous system 2) Identify the 3 kinds of neurons that are found in the nervous system. Describe how they interact to carry nerve impulses. 3) How does the nerve impulse cross the synapse 4) What would happen to a nerve impulse carried by an interneuron if the tips of the interneuron axon were damaged?

32 Introduction Videos Getting to know your Brain
33 M. C. Escher
34 Your nervous system has 2 divisions Central Nervous System consists of brain and spinal cord (conductor of an orchestra) The Nervous System Peripheral Nervous System consists of all the nerves located outside of the central nervous system (musicians in an orchestra)
35 Central Nervous System Control center of the body All the information happening in the world inside/outside your body is brought to the central system Brain Located in the skull Controls most functions in the body Spinal cord Thick column of nerve tissue that links the brain to most of the nerves in the peripheral nervous system
36 Central Nervous System 1. Most impulses from the peripheral nervous system travel through the spinal cord to get to the brain 2. Your brain then directs a response 3. Response travels from the brain -> spinal cord -> peripheral nervous system
37 What is the difference between the Central Nervous System & Peripheral Nervous System?
38 Central Nervous System For example 1. You reach under the sofa to find a lost quarter 2. Your fingers move over the floor, searching for the quarter 3. Your fingers finally touch the quarter, the stimulus of the touch triggers nerve impulses in sensory neurons in your fingers 4. These impulses travel through nerves of the peripheral nervous system to your spinal cord 5. The impulses then race to your brain 6. Your brain interprets the impulses, telling you that you ve found the quarter 7. Your brain starts nerve impulses that move down the spinal cord 8. From the spinal cord, the impulses travel through motor nerves in your arms and hand 9. The impulses in the motor neurons cause your fingers to grasp the quarter
39 How many squares are there?

41 The Brain Your brain consists of 100 billion neurons (INTERNEURONS) 3 layers of connective tissue cover the brain The space between the outermost layer the middle layer is filled with a watery fluid The skull (which is layers of connective tissue) and the fluid all help protect the brain from injury

46 Sensation and Perception
47 The Mathematical Art Of M.C. Escher
48 Cerebrum There are 3 main regions of the brain Cerebrum, cerebellum, and the brainstem CEREBRUM Interprets input from the senses Controls the movement of skeletal muscles Carries out complex mental processes such as learning, remembering, and making judgments Divided into 2 halves Right half contains neurons that send impulses to the skeletal muscles on the left side of the body Associated with creativity and artistic ability Left half controls the right side of the body Associated with math skills, speech, writing, logical thinking
49 Cerebellum and Brainstem Second largest part of your brain = cerebellum Cerebellum Coordinates the actions of your muscles and helps you keep your balance Gives you muscular coordination and sense of balance that keeps you from falling down Brainstem Lies between cerebellum and spinal cord Controls your body s involuntary actions (that occur automatically)
50
51 The Spinal Cord The vertebral column surrounds and protects the spinal cord The spinal cord is the link between your brain and peripheral nervous system Layers of connective tissue and watery fluid cover the spinal cord and protect it
52 The Peripheral Nervous System The peripheral nervous system: Consists of a network of nerves that branch out from the central nervous system and connect it to the rest of the body Total of 43 pairs of nerves make up the system One nerve in the pair branches out to the left/right side
53 Direction of Travel Impulses travel on the spinal nerve in 2 directions Both to and from the central nervous system Each spinal nerve contains axons of both sensory & motor neurons Sensory neurons -> carry impulses from body to central nervous system Motor neurons -> carry impulses in the opposite direction: from central nervous system to the body
54 Somatic & Autonomic Systems Nerves of peripheral nervous system divide into 2 groups: Somatic nervous system -> control voluntary actions like holding fork, tying shoes Autonomic nervous system -> control involuntary actions like contraction of blood vessels
55 Reflexes Reflex = automatic response that occurs very rapidly and without conscious control For example if you touch a sharp object 1. Sensory neurons in your finger send impulses to the spinal cord 2. The impulses then pass to interneurons in the spinal cord 3. From there, impulses pass directly to motor neurons in your arm and hand 4. The muscles contract and your hand jerks up and away 5. **Other nerve impulses travel to your brain and your brain interprets the pain it takes longer for you to FEEL pain
56
57 Safety First! The nervous system can suffer injuries that interfere with its functioning Concussions and spinal cord injuries are 2 ways that the nervous system can be damaged Concussions = bruise like injury of the brain. A concussion occurs when soft tissue of the cerebrum bumps again the skull Spinal cord injury = when spinal cord is cut, nerve axons in the region are split so impulses cannot pass through them. Result -> paralysis

74 Can You Trust Your Eyes? k&feature=youtu.be
75 Video Questions 1. Describe the phenomenon that is shown in the beginning of the clip. What trick is being played on our eyes? 2. These 2 factors: and affect the way we perceive the world 3. Describe the tile illusion and how our eyes perceive it 4. What role does perception play in the gradient illusion?
76 Each of your major senses: vision hearing balance smell taste The Senses touch Picks up a specific type of information about your environment. The sense organs change that information into nerve impulses and send the impulses to your brain.
77 Vision Your eyes respond to the stimulus of light. They convert that stimulus into impulses that your brain interprets, enabling you to see. How Light Enters Your Eye Rays of light strike the cornea of the eye Cornea: clear tissue that covers the front of the eye Light then passes through fluid-filled chamber behind the cornea and reaches the pupil Pupil: the opening though which light enters the eye
78
79 Pupils Change Size? In bright light, the pupil becomes smaller In dim light, the pupil becomes bigger The SIZE of the pupil is adjusted by muscles in the iris IRIS Circular structure that surrounds the pupil and regulates the amount of light entering the eye Gives the eye its color
80 How Light is Focused Light passes through the pupil strikes the lens LENS Flexible structure that focuses light Functions as something like a lens of a camera which focuses light on photographic film Lens of the eye bends the light rays in a certain way The image it produces is upside down and reversed Muscles that attached to the lens adjust its shape This adjustment produces an image that is clear and in focus
81
82 How You See an Image After passing through the lens, the focused light rays pass through a transparent, jellylike fluid Light rays then strike the RETINA Layer of receptor cells that lines the back of the eye Contains about 130 million receptor cells that respond to the light 2 types of receptors: RODS and CONES Rod cells work best in dim light and enables you to see black, white, gray Cone cells work well in bright light and enable you to see color *Explains why you see colors best in BRIGHT light and shadows in DIM light!*
83
84 Vision Problems The LENS in your eye = curved, transparent object that bends light rays as they pass through it If the LENS in your eye does not focus light properly on the RETINA vision problems result
85 Nearsightedness Nearsightedness = cannot see FARAWAY objects clearly Caused by an eyeball that is too long Because of extra length that light must travel to reach the retina, distant objects do not focus sharply on the retina Instead, the lens of the eye makes the image come into focus at a point in front of the retina
86
87
88
89 How to Fix it? To fix this, a person wears glasses with concave lens Concave = thicker at the edge of lens When light rays pass through concave lens, they are bent AWAY from the center of the lens The concave feature allows light rays to SPREAD OUT before reaching the lens in the eye Thus, they focus on the RETINA rather than in front of it
90
91
92 Farsightedness People can see object FAR AWAY clearly Objects NEARBY = > fuzzy! Eyeballs are SHORT Lens of the eye bends light from nearby objects so that the image does not focus properly on the retina
93 How To Correct Farsightedness Convex lenses are used to correct this problem Convex lenses = Thicker in the middle (NOT on edge) Convex lens makes the light rays bend toward one another before they reach the eye Lens of the eye bends even more. This bending makes the image focus exactly on the retina

97 HEARING Your ears are the sense organs that respond to the stimulus of sound. The ears convert the sound to nerve impulses that your brain interprets.
98 How Sound is Produced Sound is produced by vibrations Vibrations create WAVES Waves = > move outward from the source of the sound Example: ripples on water when a stone is dropped in Example: when you hear your friend talking, sound waves travel fro your friend s larynx to your ears Sound waves can travel through liquids such as water and solid like wood
99 Sound Vibrations The ear is structured to receive sound vibrations Consists of 3 parts 1. Outer ear Includes part of the ear that you can see Shaped like a funnel Funnel shape enables the outer ear to gather sound waves Sound waves then travel to the ear canal 2. Middle ear 3. Inner ear
