|
Nervous system |
CNS and PNS |
|
CNS |
brain and spinal chord (everything within) |
|
PNS |
Everything external to the brain and spinal cord – spinalnerves, cranial nerves, ganglia etc |
|
Neuron |
smallest functional unit of the nervous system I. Cell body (soma) – where info is integrated II. Dendrites – receptor segments (receive info)III. Axons – projecting segments (send info) IV. Synapses – where communication between two neurons |
|
Axosomatic |
synapse between axon of one neuron and cell bodyof another |
|
Axodendritic |
synapse between axon of one neuron and dendriteof another (most common) |
|
Axoaxonal |
synapse between axons of two different neurons |
|
Nucleus |
collection of cell bodies within the CNS |
|
Tract |
collection of cell processes within the CNS |
|
ganglion |
collection of cell bodies within the PNS |
|
nerve |
collection of cell processes within the PNS |
|
afferent signals |
sensory from PNS towards the CNS |
|
efferent signals |
motor from the CNS to PNS |
|
Basic Neuron forms |
I. Multipolar neuron / bipolar neuron – is a long axonseperated from dendrites by a body (this is the motor neurons) - A in picture II. Pseudounipolar neuron – the dendrites and axons are notseperated by a cell body, it looks like one cell process but isactually two (this is our sensory) ***How can you remember this? M for motor and the S inpSeudounipolar for sensory. |
|
Branches of PNS |
Somatic: external environment and voluntary for exmoving muscles Autonomic: internal environment and involuntaryex gland secretion |
|
Development of the Nervous system |
neural plate/ neural folds (edge of plate) --> neural tube --> neural crest cells (along length of tube) neural tube --> somites (on either side of tube) branchial arches (pharyngeal arches) |
|
neural crest cells |
(along length of tube) give rise to cranial, spinal, and autonomic ganglia |
|
somites |
(on either side of tube) give rise to vertebra, muscle mass, and spinal nerves |
|
branchial arches (pharyngeal arches) |
give rise to cranial nerves - each arch contains cartilage, cranialnerve, muscle, and artery. |
|
branchial arches and associated nerve |
I. innervated by CNV, trigeminal nerve (specifically the mandibular branch, V3) - Gives rise to muscles of mastication II. innervated byCN VII, facial nerve -Gives rise to muscles of facial expression III. innervated by CN IX, glossopharyngeal nerve. - Gives rise to one muscle called the stylopharyngess IV & VI. innervated by CNX, Vagus nerve - Give rise to a number of muscles V. Does not give rise to any muscles, is vestigial |
|
Dermatones |
areas of the skin that are supplied by the same spinalnerve. Spinal nerves innervate our body in stripes. (Dermatones allow oneto predict if there is nerve damage + what nerve is damage). |
