Noteworthy Trends In Development
• Increase in ganglia• Increase in sensory reception• Increase in cephalization
– Cephalization is the concentration of nervous tissue in the anterior region of the organism.

Neuron = nerve cells
• The neuron is the basic structure of the nervous system that reflects function.
• Neuron structure allows for the detection, generation, transmission, and integration of signal information.

Neuron Anatomy
• A typical neuron has a cell body, axon and dendrites.

Evolutionary Adaptations of Axon Structure
• The speed of an action potential increases with the axon’s diameter
• In vertebrates, axons are insulated by a myelin sheath, which causes an action potential’s speed to increase
![Page 15: AP Bio – 3/19/13](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681538b550346895dc18e1e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Saltatory Conduction• Saltatory conduction. Notice that the conduction
along a myelinated axon can occur quickly as large spaces can be skipped and impulse propagation occurs only at the nodes of Ranvier.

Describe a Resting Potential:
• Membranes of neurons are polarized by the establishment of electrical potentials across the membranes
17
• What is the charge inside the neuron at rest?

Action Potential
• Action potentials propagate impulses along neurons. – In response to a stimulus, Na+ and K+ gated
channels sequentially open and cause the membrane to become locally depolarized.
–Na+/K+ pumps, powered by ATP, work to maintain membrane potential.

What happens when the impulse reaches the end of the axon?
34
![Page 35: AP Bio – 3/19/13](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681538b550346895dc18e1e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Synapses• Transmission of information between neurons
occurs across synapses.• A chemical synapse is a junction between two nerve
cells consisting of a narrow gap across which impulses pass by means of a neurotransmitter
35
![Page 36: AP Bio – 3/19/13](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681538b550346895dc18e1e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Cell To Cell Communication Events1. Action potential depolarized the membrane
of synaptic terminal, this triggers an influx of Ca2+.
2. That causes synaptic vesicles to fuse with the membrane of the pre-synaptic neuron.
3. Vesicles release neurotransmitter molecules into the synaptic cleft.
4. Neurotransmitters bind to the receptors of ion channels embedded in the postsynaptic membrane.
36
![Page 37: AP Bio – 3/19/13](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681538b550346895dc18e1e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Note the structural features that allow the cell to cell communication to occur in the synaptic region:
• Calcium gated channels in the synaptic knob• Sodium channels in the post-synaptic membrane• Fluidity of the lipid bi-layer allows for exocytosis of
the neurotransmitter
![Page 38: AP Bio – 3/19/13](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681538b550346895dc18e1e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Exocytosis
• Neurotransmitter release is a form of exocytosis.
• In exocytosis, internal vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane to secrete macromolecules out of the cell.

![Page 40: AP Bio – 3/19/13](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681538b550346895dc18e1e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Neuron Transmitter Binds With A Receptor On The Postsynaptic Membrane

• The neurotransmitter will then be released from the postsynaptic membrane and degraded.
41
![Page 42: AP Bio – 3/19/13](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681538b550346895dc18e1e/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Response
• Transmission of information along neurons and synapses results in a response.
• The response can be stimulatory or inhibitory.
42
![Page 43: AP Bio – 3/19/13](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681538b550346895dc18e1e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

• Acetylcholine – transmit signal to skeletal muscle
• Epinephrine (adrenaline) & norepinephrine– fight-or-flight response
• Dopamine– widespread in brain– affects sleep, mood, attention & learning– lack of dopamine in brain associated with Parkinson’s
disease– excessive dopamine linked to schizophrenia
• Serotonin– widespread in brain– affects sleep, mood, attention & learning
***There are more than 100 neurotransmitters1 neurotransmitter may have more than a dozen different receptors
![Page 45: AP Bio – 3/19/13](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681538b550346895dc18e1e/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Neurotransmitters
• Weak point of nervous system– any substance that affects neurotransmitters or
mimics them affects nerve function • gases: nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide• mood altering drugs:
– stimulants» amphetamines, caffeine, nicotine
– depressants» quaaludes, barbiturates
• hallucinogenic drugs: LSD, peyote• SSRIs: Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil• poisons
![Page 46: AP Bio – 3/19/13](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5681538b550346895dc18e1e/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Injecting ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid (EGTA), a chelating agent that prevents calcium ions from moving across membranes, to a synaptic region would likely
a. increase the release of neurotransmitters by the presynaptic neuron.
b. decrease the release of neurotransmitters by the presynaptic neuron.
c. result in neurotransmitters being released, but could not bind to its receptors on the post synaptic neuron.
d. result in the lack of calcium ions keeping the ligand-gated ion channels open on the post synaptic neurons.
