blood vessels

arteries (blood from heart) and veins (blood to heart)

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)

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 axon
seperated from dendrites by a body (this is the motor neurons) 
- A in picture
II. Pseudounipolar neuron – the dendrites and axons are not
seperated by a cell body, it looks like one c...

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

(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, cranial
nerve, muscle, and artery.

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).
