Neurons
Neurons are specialized nerve cells that help you gather information about your environment, interpret the information, and react to it.
33.1 Structure of the Nervous System
Nervous System
Neurons consist of three main regions: the dendrites, a cell body, and an axon.
Chapter 33
Dendrites pass signals they receive on to the cell body in electrical impulses.
Nervous System
The axon passes those impulses on to the other neurons or muscles.
33.1 Structure of the Nervous System
Chapter 33
There are three kinds of neurons: sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons.
Nervous System
Sensory neurons send impulses from receptors in the skin and sense organs to the brain and spinal cord.
Interneurons carry impulses to motor organs.
33.1 Structure of the Nervous System
Chapter 33
Nervous System
33.1 Structure of the Nervous System
Motor neurons carry impulses away from the brain and spinal cord to a gland or muscles, resulting in a secretion
or movement. The nerve impulse
completes a reflex arc, or a nerve pathway thatconsists of a sensory neuron, an interneuron, and a motor neuron.
Chapter 33
A Nerve Impulse
Nervous System
Neurons at rest do not conduct impulses.
Sodium ions (Na+) collect on the outside of the cell membrane.
33.1 Structure of the Nervous System
Chapter 33
Potassium ions (K+) collect on the inside of the cell membrane.
Nervous System
33.1 Structure of the Nervous System
Negatively charged proteins actively transport sodium ions out of the cell andpotassium ions into the cell.
Chapter 33
An Action Potential
Nervous System
A nerve impulse is also known as an action potential.
The minimum stimulus to cause an action potential to be produced is called a threshold.
33.1 Structure of the Nervous System
Chapter 33
When a stimulus reaches threshold, channels open in the plasma membrane.
Nervous System
Sodium ions are rapidly pumped through these channels causing a temporary change in the electrical charges.
More positive charges are now inside the membrane.
33.1 Structure of the Nervous System
Chapter 33
The now positive charge inside the membrane causes other channels to open and the potassium is quickly pumped out of the cell.
Nervous System
The potassium restores the positive charge outside the cell.
33.1 Structure of the Nervous System
Chapter 33
This rapid positive to negative to positive charge reversal moves along the axon like a wave.
Nervous System
The movement can be seen by finding the sodium-potassium reversal pattern in the three diagrams.
33.1 Structure of the Nervous System
Chapter 33
Nodes along the axon allow ions to pass through the myelin layer to the plasma membrane.
Nervous System
The ions jump from node to node and increase the speed of the impulse.
Speed of an Action Potential
33.1 Structure of the Nervous System
Visualizing Action Potential
Chapter 33
The small gap between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another neuron is called a synapse.
Nervous System
An action potential is carried across these gaps by neurotransmitters.
The Synapse
33.1 Structure of the Nervous System
Chapter 33
Nervous SystemChapter 33
The nervous system consists of two major divisions: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.
33.2 Organization of the Nervous System
Nervous SystemChapter 33
The Central Nervous System
Nervous System
The central nervous system (CNS) is made up mostly of interneurons.
Coordinates all of the body’s activities
Relays messages, processes information, and analyzes responses
33.2 Organization of the Nervous System
Chapter 33
The Brain
Nervous System
The brain is sometimes called the control center of the entire body.
Divided into the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the brain stem.
33.2 Organization of the Nervous System
Chapter 33
The cerebrum is divided into two halves called the left and right hemispheres.
Nervous System
The functions of the brain include thought processes (learning), memory, language, speech, voluntary body movements, and sensory perception.
33.2 Organization of the Nervous System
Chapter 33
The cerebellum controls balance, posture, and coordination.
Nervous System
The skeletal muscles are controlled to make your motor skills coordinated and smooth.
33.2 Organization of the Nervous System
Chapter 33
The brain stem connects the brain and spinal cord and is composed of the medulla oblongata and the pons.
Nervous System
The medulla oblongata helps control breathing rate, heart rate, and blood pressure.
The pons also aids in breathing.
33.2 Organization of the Nervous System
Chapter 33
The hypothalamus, located between the brain stem and the cerebrum, is essential for homeostasis.
Nervous System
Regulates body temperature, thirst, appetite, and water balance.
33.2 Organization of the Nervous System
Chapter 33
The Spinal Cord
Nervous System
Nerve column that extends from the brain to the lower back.
Protected by the vertebrae
Processes reflexes
33.2 Organization of the Nervous System
Chapter 33
The Peripheral Nervous System
Nervous System
A nerve is a bundle of axons and may contain sensory and motor neurons.
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) contains all the neurons that are not part of the central nervous system.
33.2 Organization of the Nervous System
Chapter 33
The Somatic Nervous System
Nervous System
Nerves in the somatic nervous system relay information from external sensory receptors to the central nervous system, and motor nerves relay information from the central nervous system to skeletal muscles.
Voluntary movements and reflexes are a part of the somatic nervous system.
33.2 Organization of the Nervous System
Chapter 33
The Autonomic Nervous System
Nervous System
The autonomic nervous system carries impulses from the central nervous system to the heart and other internal organs.
The body responds involuntarily, not under conscious control.
33.2 Organization of the Nervous System
Chapter 33
There are two branches of the autonomic nervous system.
Nervous System
The sympathetic nervous system is most active in times of emergency or stress when the heart rate and breathing rate increase.
The parasympathetic nervous system is most active when the body is relaxed.
33.2 Organization of the Nervous System
Chapter 33
Nervous SystemChapter 33
Taste and Smell
Specialized neurons in your body enable you to taste, smell, hear, see, and touch, and to detect motion and temperature.
33.3 The Senses
Nervous System
Taste buds detect combinations of chemicals that we identify as sweet, sour, salty, and bitter.
Chapter 33
Receptors associated with taste and smell are located in the mouth and nasal cavity.
Nervous System
33.3 The Senses
Signals from these receptors work together to createa combined effect in the brain.
Chapter 33
Sight
Light travels through the cornea and the pupil to the lens.
Nervous System
The lens focuses the image on the retina.
33.3 The Senses
Rods and cones in the retina providelight-sensitivity and information about color.
Chapter 33
Hearing
Nervous System
33.3 The Senses
Sound waves enter the auditory canal andcause a membrane, called the tympanum, at the end of the ear canal to vibrate.
These vibrationscause the cochlea to generate nerve impulses that are interpreted by the brain.
Chapter 33
Balance The semicircular canals, located in the
inner ear, transmit information about body position and balance to the brain.
Nervous System
33.3 The Senses
Chapter 33
Touch
Many types of sensory receptors that respond to temperature, pressure, and pain are found in the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin.
Nervous System
33.3 The Senses
Chapter 33
How Drugs Work
A drug is a substance, natural or artificial, that alters the function of the body.
33.4 Effects of Drugs
Nervous SystemChapter 33
Nervous SystemChapter 33
Some drugs affect the nervous system in the following ways:
Nervous System
can cause an increase in the amount of a neurotransmitter that is released into a synapse
can block a receptor site on a dendrite, preventing a neurotransmitter from binding
can prevent a neurotransmitter from leaving a synapse
can imitate a neurotransmitter
33.4 Effects of Drugs
Chapter 33
Nervous System
33.4 Effects of Drugs
Many drugs that affect the nervous systeminfluence the level of a neurotransmitter called dopamine.
Normally, dopamine is removed from a synapse by beingreabsorbed by the neuron that released it.

33.4 Effects of Drugs
Chapter 33

Tolerance and Addiction
Tolerance occurs when a person needs more and more of the same drug to get the same effect.
The psychological and/or physiological dependence on a drug is addiction.
