What does the central nervous system compose of?
brain and spinal cord
slide 3
5:19
What does the peripheral nervous system compose of?
cranial nerves and spinal nerves
slide 3
5:19
What is the function of spinal cord?
relay information in and out of brain and reflex center
slide 3
5:19
The nervous system is composed of two sections. what are they?
central and peripheral nervous system
slide 3
5:19
Peripheral nervous system is divided into 2 division. What are they and what do they do?
1. motor (efferent)
-direction of fibers goes out
2. sensory (afferent)
-direction of fibers goes in
slide 3
5:19
The motor division of peripheral nervous system has 2 subdivision. What are they and what are their functions?
1. somatic (voluntary)
-consciously able to control what you want to do
2. autonomic (involuntary)
-does not need to worry about breathing or digestion
-
slide 3
5:19
Autonomic subdivision has 2 subdivision. What are they?
1. sympathetic
-mobilize body systems during emergency situations
2. parasympathetic
-conserve energy
slide 3
5:19
What is the function of peripheral nervous system?
communication lines between the CNS and the rest of the body
slide 3
5:19
What is the function of central nervous system?
integrative and control centers
slide 3
5:19
what are the 4 types of neuroglia in the CNS?
1. astrocytes
2. microglia
3. ependymal
4. oligodendrocytes
slide 4
11:38
what is astrocytes cell of CNS?
-"star" cells
-regulate environment for neurons to function
-store sugars
-part of blood brain barrier
-have projections to nerve cell body, axon and capillaries
slide 4
11:38
What is microglia cell in CNS?
-immunity
-aid cell body to function
slide 4
11:38
What is ependymal cells in CNS?
-specialized epithelial cell
-maintain blood brain barrier
-create cerebral spinal fluid
-tight junctions
-maintain environment for brain and spinal cord
slide 4
11:38
What is the oligodendrocytes cell in CNS?
-many branches
-responsible for myelinated axons
slide 4
11:38
What is the neuroglia of PNS?
1. Satellite Cells
-surround the cell body
2. Schwann Cells
-wrap the whole cell around the axons -meylinate axons on the PNS
slide 4
11:38
In fetal development, what cell is responsible for the axons to go from your spinal cord down to your toes?
Schwann cell
slide 4
11:38
what does the structure of a neuron consist of?
1. cell body (soma)
-mitochondria, nucleus, golgi etc.
2. dendrites
-receptive areas (receiving messages)
3. axons
-conduct impulse away from soma or dendrites
4. Axon hillock
-Action Potential is initiated
5. Axon collateral
-branch off of axons
6. terminal branch
-synapse
7. Axon transmitters
-release neurotransmitters
slide 5
19:11
What is the comparison of myelinated vs. unmyelinated?
1. myelinated conduct impulses faster than unmyelinated
2. schwann cells myelinate in PNS
3. Oligodendrocytes myelinate in CNS
slide 6
23:35
What is the continuous unmyelinated fiber vs. saltatory myelinated fiber conduction?
Saltatory myelinated fiber conducts impulses quicker and continuous because it only need to polarize just that region

What are the structural classification of neurons?
1. multipolar
-motor (efferent) neurons
2. bipolar
-1 axon, 1 dendrites
-in nose or eyes
3. pseudounipolar
-2 axon projection but only come in at one point. (axon coming in, axon going out)
slide 7
28:13
What are the functional classification of neurons?
1. Afferent
-sense coming in
2. Efferent
-motor
-multipolar
-sense going out
3. interneurons
-multipolar
-job is to integrate (brain of spinal cord)
slide 8
31:09
What is transmembrane potential of a cell?
-what is happening at resting potential
-differential in ion distribution
slide 9
33:27
What is graded potential?
-produced at synaptic activity
-doesn't mean it's at Action potential
slide 9
33:27
What is Action potential?
-have to get to threshold to fire action potential
-produced when graded potential is large enough
slide 9
33:27
what happens at transmembrane potential?
1. differential in ion distribution
-ExtraCellularFluid = high Na+ IntraCellularFluid = high K+
2. Membrane NOT freely permeable
3. Electrochemical gradient
slide 10
36:51
What is electrochemical gradient?
sum of chemical and electrical forces acting on a specific ion
-electrical gradient=negative inside, positive outside
-chemical gradient = Na+ high outside, K+ high inside
slide 10
36:51
What are the different types of ion channels?
1. gated channels
-voltage or chemical can open it
-activated (opening)
-inactivated (activation gate shut off)
2. ligand
3. voltage
4. mechanically-gated
-opens to pressure, temperature
slide 11
45:50
what does a flow of ion create in the ion channels?
electrical current
