Objective• Understand the microscopic difference
between excitable and non-excitable cells present in the nervous system.
3
Nerve Tissue• Cells have very high ability to – Respond to stimuli– Transmit impulses

Nerve Tissue• NEURON is the main nerve cell)
6
Nerve Tissue• NEURON is the main nerve cell– Cell Body(3)– Dendrites (5)– Axon(1)

Motor Neurone
• Figure 9–2. Motor neuron. The myelin sheath is produced by oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and by Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system. The neuronal cell body has an unusually large, euchromatic nucleus with a well-developed nucleolus. The perikaryon contains Nissl bodies, which are also found in large dendrites. An axon from another neuron is shown at upper right. It has 3 end bulbs, one of which forms a synapse with the neuron. Note also the 3 motor end-plates, which transmit the nerve impulse to striated skeletal muscle fibers. Arrows show the direction of the nerve impulse.

Nerve and Reflex Arc
Figure 9–32. Schematic representation of a nerve and a reflex arc. In this example, the sensory stimulus starts in the skin and passes to the spinal cord via the dorsal root ganglion. The sensory stimulus is transmitted to an interneuron that activates a motor neuron that innervates skeletal muscle. Examples of the operation of this reflex are withdrawal of the finger from a hot surface and the knee-jerk reflex. (Modified, redrawn, and reproduced, with permission, from Ham AW: Histology, 6th ed.

14
Nerve Fiber (Axon)• Nerve fibers are long nerve cell processes (axon
cylinder, axon) with a surrounding membrane• Schwann cells (neurolemmocytes, peripheral glial
cells) enfold the axon and form an insulating cover known as Schwann’s sheath (neurolemma).

15
Nerve Fiber (Axon)• Myelinated nerve fiber, i.e., the axon is covered by a
myelin sheath, which is rich in lipids.• Every 0.8 to 1.0 mm, a node of Ranvier subdivides
the myelin sheath into segments or internodes.

Glial Cells• Glial cells (Neuroglia) or (Glia)• (Greek "glue”• Non-neuronal cells that maintain homeostasis,
form myelin, and provide support and protection for the brain's neurons
• They occupy the entire space between neurons and separate nerve cells from blood vessels
18
Glial Cells - Functions1. Surround neurons and hold them in place2. Supply nutrients and oxygen to neurons3. Insulate one neuron from another4. Destroy pathogens and remove dead neurons
19
Glial Cells - Types• Astrocytes (macroglia)• Oligodendrocytes• Microgliocytes
20
Astrocytes

• Most abundant• Deal wit homeostasis – relate to vessels

Microglia• Oligodendrocytes:– Closely related to
neurons– Provide myelin
protection for CNS neurons
